B & T Automotive Services

No frills, good prices, and they consistently do a good job and treat us fairly including pricing.

My family & I use to be devoted to B & T Automotive Services only because of the consistency in Great Service we received from them. Being a female, it’s hard to find an honest mechanic that won’t make things with the vehicle worse or try to convince me to do extensive preventative maintenance in order for them to make more money off me. They’ve worked on a wide range of work for all my family’s problems, from basic oil changes to fully helping a Honda Civic recover from extensive water damage. Let’s just say, I’m sure our Honda Civic was/​is the only one to go swimming in the Puget Sound. B & T are always honest with costs and have always found us the best deals in cost of parts, whether it be online or at a local store and if you, by chance, find a better deal they’ll allow you to bring in the part so they can install it for you. This is a late review, being that my family has moved to Denver, CO & with some vehicle maintenance coming up I sure wish I had a B & T closer!

I had some car trouble at 4:30 pm on a Friday. I was driving from Vancouver to Portland and drove into Arlington to get it checked out. The car was bucking around and the RPMs were erratic and would not go above 3k. I had to make a decision if I would proceed to Portland (and drive through Seattle in rush hour) or turn around and try to make it back to Vancouver and home. The first mechanic I went to, told me he needed to hook my car up for a diagnostic… and that he would not do it. Did not have time to help me. He pointed me over to B&T. I drove over and pulled up outside the garage, walked in and talked to the mechanic. He agreed to run the diagnostic immediately without hesitation and pulled my car in. He sent me into the front office (which was a MESS) and I talked to the lady behind the counter. She was a bit curt and not the most friendly person I had met and I was a bit apprehensive of this place. After about 20 minutes, the mechanic takes my car for a spin and comes back in and tells me exactly what the problem was. he suggests shooting for Vancouver and I take his advice. When I go to pay them for the service, they all smile and tell me that it is not necessary and wish me a safe trip. They were amazing. This place is a diamond in the rough. Highly recommend it and don’t be turned off by the outward appearance. They are solid.
