WOW! Cannot thank these guys enough! My car broke down a few weeks before Christmas. They had to send the part out and it was more extensive than initially thought. Thankfully, I had my car back just before Christmas and it is running so much smoother than before.
I was kept in the loop with every update, explained thoroughly what problems are there and what could be. I was given different options that may have fit my schedule or price better. They worked with me every step of the way.
This is not the first time we have received amazing service from them and I am over confident that it won't

What a great place. In a time that seemed impossible to get anything done (my regular mechanics and the first three places I called were booked for two weeks or more), Ken managed to squeeze me in. My truck wasn't starting, turned out needing a new battery and alternator. In a situation like this, I would have expected an overly pricey bill, and was shocked at how great the price was. I'm tempted to make this place my regular. Sooooo awesome!! Thanks Ken!!

We took a two week vacation to drive from Missouri to Washington. When we got to Three Forks in Montana our check engine light came on. We checked with all the repair shops kn that city, and the ones all the way to Washington. Everyone was booked out for days. We called here and they said to bring it by and they would do their best to squeeze us… in. We left in early in the morning this morning and arrived there around noon. Not only did they squeeze us in and fix our problem but they filled our Freon also and explained everything to us. I learned a lot which I love. They got us done in

Very good work, honest, fast, friendly. We have a Volvo, an air-cooled VW and a Miata, and DAS can deal with all of them, professionally. Highly recommended.

This place was amazing. We were on a road trip from Missouri to Washington when our car started having issues. No place in 6 cities had an opening to help us. And then I called these amazing guys. They wanted to make sure our trip was good and we didn’t miss anything so they squeezed us between waiting for other parts and stuff. They were so knowledgeable and friendly. They were fast friendly and I wish they were in Missouri. I got to enjoy the rest of my vacation because of them. Thank you thank you thank you

I had the most amazing experience at Downtown Auto Specialists. They got me in for an appointment nearly immediately and took great care of me. Their work was fast and efficient, and they began right away when I dropped off my van. They were wonderfully kind and knowledgeable, explaining everything in detail when I picked up my vehicle as well. Next time I need ANYTHING done on my Sprinter, I will be returning here. Thank you for the exceptional experience!

I brought in my daughters Fiat during the pandemic as I needed to get it fixed before driving back to Arizona. Ken the owner and his staff were very friendly and welcoming and found the problem on the Fiat right away. They fixed it very quickly so we could get on the road. Ken has even followed up with me twice to make sure the Fiat is running smoothly!! I would give them 100 stars if that was an option.

Super friendly and great experience.
I pulled in unannounced and the gentleman greeted me, they were not open, he asked what as going on and did some troubleshooting with me for 15 minutes resulting in fixing my issue, as well he pointed out a few quick fix concerns.
I really appreciate taking the time to help me.

Third project performed on our truck and all three times were 5 star.Projected cost and completion time were as expected. Kept us informed of any problem noted allowing us to have time for decision making process. No pressure on us to have something done we did not want. Also very pleasant/professional and top quality work. Would not use any one else for our vehicle needs. Thank you Ken and team.

These are the only guys who touch my car. You can't put a price tag on trust. Plus, Ken is great at keeping me knowledgeable about what my car needs.

I've known Ken for close to 30 years. I had his shop do some work for me a couple of months ago, and I experienced a problem yesterday related to that work. I contacted Ken and brought my vehicle to him this morning. He stepped up, admitted this problem should not have occurred, did the repair, had it ready at the end of the day. He said he needed to make it right, and he did. Thanks Ken!! Scott Griffith

Your estimate was less than the two other shops I checked, your technical service was WAY above what I expected, your customer service was top-notch and you caught a few mistakes that previous mechanics had made. You guys were great! Certainly coming back next time the ol' girl needs some help.
Thank you!

Prompt attention and speedy service. Honest assessment, so none of those "extras" that some other places in Spokane try to sneak on your bill, especially as a woman, that means the world to me. Ken is also a really nice guy too.
