Cook's Auto Rebuild established in 1947 by Dick Cook and his father Howard. Howard Cook began working in the Industry in 1918, working for many large auto shops in the Seattle area. The original location of Cook's Auto Rebuild was on 92nd and Aurora Avenue in North Seattle. Cook's Auto Rebuild moved to it's current location on Lake City Way in 1957 and has expanded several times as property became available.
Having an accident can be very stressful and inconvenient. The goal at Cook's Auto Rebuild is to make such an unfortunate event as easy as possible for you and to put your vehicle back into original condition as fast as possible. The following information may be of help before and after an accident.
You want your car to look just as good on the outside as it runs on the inside. Whether you'd like a new paint job or need a larger repair after an accident, Cook's Auto Rebuild can take care of all your auto body needs. Serving the residents of Seattle and Maple Leaf since 1947, we at Cook's offer a multitude of services you can take advantage of.
The most common way a car's paint chips is minor scratches that can occur during everyday driving. However, there are more natural ways auto paint can chip, including extreme weather conditions, dirt and dust, and moisture. Even water marks caused by rain (which we have an abundance of in Seattle) can leave layers of residue once evaporated, which can affect the shine of your car's paint.
While getting into an accident is one of life's most stressful events, getting your car repaired after a collision shouldn't be. At Cook's Auto Rebuild, we are committed to complete customer satisfaction and will get your car back in tip-top shape as efficiently as possible.
It is important to note that while your insurance company can provide you an estimate for the cost of repairs after a collision, there will often be hidden damages seen when the vehicle is disassembled.You may want to visit more than one collision repair shop to get multiple estimates, but we recommend seeking the best repair shop to fix your vehicle, not the cheapest.

Cook's Auto Rebuild gave us excellent customer service and an excellent auto body repair. Our F-150 truck had a dent in the rear passenger door, and the insurance gave a low estimate in comparison with Cook's. Cook's recommended replacing the door because of the components inside the door, which were damaged. The insurance company insisted on sending used doors, whereas Cook's was recommending a new door. The insurance company sent two doors both of which Cook's rejected because they contained prior damage, before the insurance ultimately accepted that a new door was needed. We thought it was likely

Wish I could give them more than five stars. I scratched my car badly and had less than a week to fix it before my parents (who are paying for the car) came back from a trip. I was TERRIFIED. I immediately called around and Jean, the manager said he could have me come in for a consultation. He was truthful, responsive, and completely understanding about the situation. He heard out me and my concerns, and seemed to genuinely care about it. He was truthful and told me he would try his best, but there was no guarantee. I left my car with the shop, and low and behold, when the day came around, I got

At last, an honest auto repair shop! I had a great experience at Cook's Auto Rebuild today when I requested an estimate for the damaged passenger side mirror of my Subaru Impreza.
I told the estimator, Chris, that I thought the pieces could possibly be snapped back together. He took a look and, sure enough, was able to pop the parts back in place.
I also requested an estimate for some paint repairs to the bumpers. He gave me a fair quote and reassured me that if I opted not to do the repairs, my car wouldn't rust.
No upselling or B.S.! Just honest, straight-forward answers. It&apos

These guys are the real deal: honest, professional, and efficient. Jeff was fantastic to do business with; he was very responsive with emails and was very happy to work with me when I decided to purchase my own part to replace a damaged one. Service like this is wonderful to come by, and I will most certainly return to Cook's in case I need anything in the future.

After getting in my first car accident, I was dreading at the thought of going through the process of taking it to the mechanic and getting it repaired. However, going to Cook’s made the process simple and easy! Great customer service, timely repair and quality work. I’d definitely come back here for future car services!

I brought my older truck in after a traffic accident. Just the running board was damaged and I was going to pay out of pocket. The estimator at Cooks sent me to another place he knew of that would be able to do it with used parts and very inexpensively if I didn't need it to look perfect. This saved my a ton of money and the truck looks just fine. Thank you so much, Cooks, for caring about a customer enough to send them elsewhere!

This place is amazing! I have never had an easier car repair experience in my life. My car was hit and needed the bumper cover replaced, and I found Cook's Auto Rebuild while looking for a repair shop along my route to work. I submitted a picture on their website and got a quote back that same day. I didn't even have to drop the car off! With a full time job and a baby, this saved me so much time and stress right before Christmas.
Not only was Jeff super friendly and helpful, but he was able to order the part and get my car fixed all within the week before Christmas. He handled payment

You will not find a more helpful, friendly, honest staff as the ones you will find at Cook's. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for any type of body work.
My car was recently in the shop after an accident and they forgot to fix something. They felt terrible when I pointed it out and ordered the part and fixed it on their own dime, since the insurance claim had already been filed.
I have told all of my friends about this place and now I am telling YOU!

This auto shop was supposed to replace my bumper. My husband zip ties my bumper so it would make it to the shop. The shop cut off the zip tie my husband put on to secure the bumper with another zip tie and charged my insurance 3k for a new bumper which was never installed. Don't trust them!!! I never would have noticed except my husband got up close to the "repair" and was pissed. They had my car for a week for this repair! So now I have to arrange for another shop to actually fix my car!

I was in an accident and chose to have Cooks fix my bumper because they were close to where I lived based on the recommendations of my insurance company. While they were not the most communicative shop I've ever worked with, they could provide information quickly with just a phone call to their office. I got my car back a little later than I originally expected, but when my blinker wasn't working after getting it back, I brought it back in the next day and they fixed it on spot. I was very impressed, and happy with the work they did. My car looks awesome, and the very particular color of my car

Beware this place. I had a rear bumper damaged in a car wash, and Bob Byers Volvo recommended Cook's for the replacement of the bumper. First, they said there would be a 5-week wait, while the ordered and obtained the part. Then when I showed up at the appointed day, they said the part hadn't arrived (they never called to change the time). When I went back after the part arrived and left the car, they called me to say that they didn't have the assembly to attach the bumper and I would have to pay an additional $145! I had already settled with the insurance company for the $950 Cook

I was recently in a car accident. Took my car to Cooks since they are on the list of certified insurance repair facilities. Being in a head on collision, there was extensive damage to the vehicle that the insurance company wanted to fix/repair. After 9 weeks, car was finally finished (Friday evening). I took the car on an extensive road test, only to find car pulls to the left. When I took the car back Monday morning, they looked at me as though I was crazy. They assured me everything was "ok". I even took the head mechanic out for a test drive. He agreed, "clearly pulls to the left". After three

Cooks was very professional and efficient in giving me an estimate for my car repair. They used an iPad to take pictures of the damage and had the pictures including the estimate sent to me immediately - and made the process very streamlined. I felt reassured by how they handled my estimate and repair. The repair was done in a very short time. Excellent customer service! Thanks to Jeff and everyone else at Cooks!

Yeah...so you know when you buy a new car, and it's the newest new car you've ever owned, and you're so excited about it?
And then it gets hit while parked outside your house a week later? Yeah...
These guys were SO AMAZING with my lil' bummer of an accident. They helped me dicker with the other party's insurance, and they let me leave the car there for a couple weeks (WEEKS--taking up space on their lot) so that it would be there when the insurance adjuster got around to looking at it. Jeff was so great about explaining things and updating me. They were communicative

This is an honest business that does high quality work, I have used them almost half a dozen times since 1980's and have always been very satisfied with the work they have done on my car. In fact I have had a tough time noticing what they had done after the work is completed because everything looks brand new.
They work with all insurance companies and help with car rentals, and getting the work done with your car insurance's bid. I never paid extra ever.
I am very happy I found them, now I just hope that the bad driver's stay away from my car after I get it fixed again.
