Cottage Lake Motors

I have been meaning to write this review for over 2 years. 2 years ago my father purchased a VW beetle for me from Cottage Lake Motors. At the time I was a newly single mother and struggle with finances. I consider the guys to be part of my family now, I truly believe they care, in fact on 2 occasions a year after I purchased my vehicle they came and towed me back to the shop and fixed the issue and had me back on the road in no time. The mechanic Bob does excellent work and is a fair honest guy! These guys are not your typical car salesman they really do care and appreciate others. Peter sold my father a car and 2 years later he still makes sure that that car is in great working order! I cant recommend these guys enough!!!

Don’t do it. After buying an Audi S4 with a couple of warning lights on the dash, I spent the next several months waiting for Cottage Lake Motors to get it fixed. First they say the radio is bad, but Arthur at CarToys says no. ($ 500 wasted by CLM). Then their AirBag douchebag guy says it is something else. Finally they agree to let me take it to Barrier where Cottage Lake only wants to pay to get one light fixed but even at that I had to pay out of pocket to get my car out of that shop. Then Cottage lake buys a used part to fix the other light on the dash. But of course they cant get the code to clear… So I pay again to take my car to Woodinville Sports Cars so the job gets done right.
Even though Peter agrees that these expenses should not be mine and that the purchase contract was clear… I was never compensated. $ 500.00 at Barrier and $ 300.00 at WSC.
I have known Pete, Paul and Bob for years. They have worked on and repaired my VW and Audis in the past. I thought I was both a friend and a valued customer. Turns out I was wrong on both parts. Sorry Pete, but where I come from when you owe a guy $ 800 bucks, you do not pay him with excuses and apologies. My address is still in your file but my bank account remains low. If you really valued my friendship you would have payed up.
For those that are wondering the S4 runs like a champ. Just needed attention that a proper diagnostic tool can provide and the willingness to buy and install the correct parts, not just the cheap solution. Bob is a great guy but neither he nor Paul have the right tools to diagnose the problems with an Audi. They need a VAG-​com tool that costs about $ 300. They could get rid of the Airbag douchebag guy and could actually make some lifelong customers instead of driving them away.

My mom had a tire blow out near Cottage Lake Motors. They totally helped her out, went to town and got tires for her and she was back on the road in no time. They are excellent!

The service here was fantastic! Simon was a huge help. They let me take whatever car i wanted out to test drive with no questions asked. They were patient and very professional, Easy to talk to, Very understanding, and gave me a great experience. I would recommend this company to anyone. I hope they continue to help families with car needs well into the future!

This is a review of a very nice sales guy, Simon, not the dealership itself as I have not yet purchased a car there. First off, I want to thank him very much for his generous time showing me (and the test drive for) a very nice BMW. I was very impressed with his straight-​up and no-​pressure demeanor, and with his informative presentation on the car and his business model. While I personally loved the car, upon reflection I realized that it was a car that will appeal to someone of a different age bracket, and I wish I was 15 years younger, as it was so cool!
Anyway, thanks Simon! I will be back.

LOVE this car dealership. The workers here are so nice and professional. They really help you and try and fit your needs. I came in last week and the man who was working really was helpful in fitting my the car with my budget.
I would reccomend this place to anyone
GREAT DEALS FOR GREAT CARS

The guys at Cottage Motors provided the best pre-​owned auto buying experience to date. Recently spent a week in WA state shopping used BMW’s for my mother. After getting the runaround at the new and used car lots, we ended up at Cottage Motors in Woodinville, WA.
Purchased a low mileage BMW for under book value. Pointed out a few minor issues I wanted fixed prior to purchase and they were taken care of the next day.
Go see Peter, Paul, and Gary at Cottage Motors. You wont be disappointed.

Buyer beware! My friend had negotiated a price with them to buy a car, she offered to make a deposit, then flew in from Eastern Canada to pick it up. They sold the car from underneath her the day before she was to buy it. Of course, she already flew out here to pick it up.
I’m a car collector and have bought and sold a LOT of cars… this is about as slimy as it gets. Nice work Cottage Lake motors…

Hands down the best deal I found for having the brakes on my car serviced (they also sell used cars). The gentleman who runs the service center is named Bob and was excellent. He has worked there and run the shop for 15 years I believe.
Long story short is that I needed new brakes for my Saab which were basically down to metal on metal, not good. I got quotes from 3 places, Discount Tire, Elliot’s, and Le Schwab. All of them were about the same price, between $ 900 and $ 1100. My mother told me to go take it in to Cottage Lake Motors and see what they could do. I was hesitant thinking that the other 3 were about the same price and how could they do it for any less. I actually made an appointment at Elliot’s and took my car there to have the service done but they didn’t have the brake pads in stock so I decided to swing by Cottage Lake. Boy am I glad I did! They were able to do it for just under $ 450 including tax! That is half the price of the lowest quote I received, what a deal!
I told my car guru about this great deal and he said they must be using substandard parts or something but I called them back and asked what brand of parts he was using and he assured me they were the real deal. I have been driving for a couple months with them without any problems.
It is a small shop, but the work was done right and I love the fact that I was able to help support and give business to a locally owned place.
Once I have some extra money to spend I plan on returning to get some additional work done.
