Salomon’s Chevron Service Center

We’ve purchase gas and propane from Salomon’s for over twenty years. It’s one of the few service stations that has an actual mechanic available and on staff.
The other day the car I was driving began making an odd scraping noise. Usually, I’d call my dad, but I can’t do that anymore because he died suddenly last October and lives in a box on the bedroom dresser. I did the next best thing and called Salomon’s Service Center. Unfortunately it was fifteen minutes before closing, however Tom said bring the car in and he’d take a look at it. Instant relief!
Before I could drive up the slope into the garage, he notices the problem and tells me I have a headlight out too.
It cost me less than $ 25.00 for everything and I was on my way to pick up my son in less than half an hour.
If you have any experience with the New VW Beetles, you know it can suck to change burnt out lights and finding a mechanic who doesn’t charge an exorbitant amount to fix a simple light is fantastic.

I’ve owned a lot of cars, done a lot of my own maintenance. I can keep up with the shop talk, but don’t have the time or tools anymore.
I won’t take my car anywhere else. I’ve visited this team 4 times for separate issues and always had a very honest, fast, friendly experience. They actually care about the customer and the car.
5-​stars, no hesitation.

Showed up at 4:59 to get propane, service guy was getting in his car and asked if I was here for propane. I said yes, and he said «sorry just locked it up.» I pointed out the sign says 8 – 5 for propane. I get that near end of day people want to go home, but I was really hoping he would honor the hours, even if right at the limit. But no, he said «sorry, try uhaul on Leary.» Wow. Thanks for that customer sevice! I live ½ mile away and used to fill up here pretty regularly, but won’t anymore if that’s their idea of service.

A gas station that actually has a mechanic on duty! Wow! I think they are the last honest fair priced shop in the city of Seattle.
They will give you an estimate before performing any work, and their shop prices are very reasonable.
They will not perform any work that is unnecessary and will call you if the work exceeds the estimate.
If you find it hard to find a mechanic to service your car In Seattle then you have found the right place — oil changes too.
I took my car in to them to fix a coolant hose that had failed and the mechanic told me that he could just replace a fitting and would not charge me more than an hours labor. After a few hours I received a phone call back saying that he had to replace the whole hose.
The price was reasonable, the revised estimate was reasonable, and he was very professional.
Oh, and they sell gas too.
