NUMARK Automotive

All of the favorable reviews are friends and family I assure you. Dirty shop, lazy shoe gazing mechanics. Just wanted a scanner connected to read my engine light code. Any reputable shop in town will gladly do this for you. These guys refused while standing there with her hands in her pockets. Just a sad bastard experience all around. Tons of decent shops around. Avoid them at all costs… lazy scumbags.

The best, most honest and reasonably priced mechanic ever! Took my Ford Explorer to NuMark three years ago after the dealership told me I needed ~ $ 3500 in repairs. Mike took a look and went down the checksheet: Some were accurate, others bogus, and yet others were ‘nice to have but not at all necessary right now’. The repairs ended up costing ~ $ 350. I have taken both my Explorer and my Miata to NuMark ever since and both run like magic. Explorer now has 195,000 miles on it and I couldn’t be happier with it. You won’t get the bells and whistles (flat screen TVs in waiting room); but you will get super quality work, and honesty/​integrity. 5 stars plus!

Our neighbor Bob recommended NuMark for his three cars, so I took our aging minivan in for service after driving her cross-​country from Atlanta to Seattle.
Mike changed her oil and flushed the transmission fluid, but dismissed the need to chase the phantom error code that was the cause of the «Check Engine» light.
Mike kept me informed of his progress and called me as soon as the car was ready the next day. I feel really good about the whole experience, and am considering bringing my wife’s plugin hybrid in for service, instead of taking her to the dealership.

This is the best, most honest repair shop that you will EVER go to.

These guys are great. I took my car in and was quoted $ 90 to look at it. They gave me a call the next day, made some tune up suggestions and charged me half of what they quoted because it only took them a half an hour.
I decided to go ahead with the tune up. They told me they already had the parts and it was done that same day! To have my car looked at the the parts replaced was around $ 250 which was affordable for me! And my car feels so much better to drive! Such a great and easy experience! Affordable and reliable are the two words I would use to describe this place!

I have had great success with Mike and his crew. I have had many experiences with them helping me keep my three vehicles (work and personal) on the road.
They do great work, as to many local mechanics, but in addition, they are honest and fair about their pricing.
I understand Julia’s complaint. It is frustrating to have scheduling issues but I know for a fact that Mike is there from 8:30 or 9:00 until 7:00 or 8:00 trying to keep up with the demands of his schedule. Things happen on both ends. I am sure that for the times they can’t get to work on time, there are several people, unlike Julia, who aren’t there until very late at night to pick up their cars. Mike is very patient and understanding about this (I know for a fact ;0)
I used to go up the street to Woodinville Imports where Julia went. They also do good work but it seemed that their shop rate was a little higher, also, it is so much more convenient having a fair, honest and capable mechanic within 2 miles of my home. It makes pickup and drop off so convenient. Prior to NuMark I had a mechanic out near Echo Lake do my repairs but these guys are just as good and just as affordable.
To Julia, I would suggest she give them another try and see if you get the same level of quality and value I have had. I want them to stay in business near by so I don’t have to shop around for the fairness I get with these guys. I would be interested in Julia’s evaluation of their skill and value though I do understand her frustration with the scheduling, but on the other end of the day, I have seen Mike in there trying to get home, waiting for people to come and get their cars after they have been delayed as well.
Life in America is a busy business. More communication, more instant answers make it hard to adjust to the slowness of how life actually plays out in real time.
Thanks guys. I’m coming back.

Unfortunately I have a very limited experience to report about Numark at Cottage Lake. I do feel like I can report my dealings, though, however I can not report on the repair abilities of this station.
After discovering my AC was not working in my 2003 Acura, I chose to contact Numark Automotive Repair as it was a local business, that is important to me. I left a message on Monday, which was returned on Tuesday. Michael and I made arrangements for me to leave my car on Wednesday at 9:30. I was on-​time for my appointment, but the station said «CLOSED» and the office (sign says open at 9) was closed. My husband had followed me to the shop and after we called both phone numbers posted, and received no response, we were forced to leave.
I did call and leave a message on the office voicemail as we were driving away. An hour or so later, I was contacted by Michael who told me he was «running a little late» that day. Since I had never had dealings with this business, I didn’t feel that my car would be dealt with in a reasonable time. I did see that another local business, «Woodinville Imports» (see my review) was open that morning and made the choice to contact someone who was available before 10:30am.
I am happy to report my AC is fixed, but sad that my business wasn’t as important to the shop closest to me.

These guys are great!!!
I went to several other shops with a howling, grinding sound from my front left wheel and was told everything from 500 to 700.00 to replace breaks, rotors, abs sensors… Numark listened to me talk about my symptoms and quickly knew that it was my front wheel berrings and the replacement was 245.00 and change. My Explorer was done the next day and I appreciate the fast service. Good guys and they listen well, explain in detail what they would do and followed through. Ill be back in the future if I need other repair on my other cars.
