I owned an automotive repair shop for 50+ years and it is difficult for me to be satisfied when I use one for my own repairs. Or, to be more accurate it USED to be difficult until I met Jim and the crew at Rainier Automotive! I had a 2006 hummer that need an entire engine replacement and a work on a few other vehicles.

Had a no start no crank issue with a newer suburban. Went in and had them look at it. Turned out to be Something simple that I had missed during a repair. Most other shops would have charged me for a new part and other things that it really didn't need. These guys simply flipped a heat shield around and sent me on my way. Gave me a detailed list of things they recommend. I did not feel pressured at any time. Honesty and integrity are very rare in this business and it feels good to have a shop That isn't gonna charge you for things you don't need. Jim and John are very professional, very honest

These guys were honest and fair. I was blown away by how incredibly helpful they were. I was in a jam and they were the only shop that would squeeze me in asap. They kept me updated along the way and were very pleasant to deal with. Thank you guys!

I had a 2006 hummer that need an entire engine replacement and a work on a few other vehicles. I searched everywhere was looking a shop to use for such extensive repairs and found an amazing one when I met these guys.
They completed my repairs without any issue, they were accurate and transparent in the repairs and the cost was exactly what we agreed Jim went to lengths

They did what Firestone had said that they had done. They made certain they were Very clear on the different options available, as what was most pertinent at the time.

My brakes were making a very odd sound one day and the guys at Rainier Auto worked with me to get my truck in for a safety inspection and did it while I waited. After a once over, test drive and discussion with me about the issue I was cleared for safe driving (and stopping). I felt like a partner in the process and they helped me quickly which was wonderful. They also didn't charge me for the appointment even though they put some time in on it which was much appreciated. Rainier Automotive will definitely be my go to place for future care of my vehicle. Thank you for the peace of mind!

Our 2018 Ford Escape is out of warranty, and we were fortunate to find Rainier Automotive here in Maple Valley. They performed the Ford-recommended maintenance that included changing the oil and filter, topping off the washer fluid, adjusting tire pressure, and performing several regular inspections, all for a fraction of what it would cost at the dealership. There were zero upsells. In fact, they gave us an outline of the types of maintenance to expect over the next few years. They're a 5-star service center -- local, friendly, honest, professional, and economical.

We bring all of our vehicles to Ranier Automotive. They are friendly, do a good job and we love that they perform a detailed inspection each time. We love that they email (and/or text) us a copy of the results and their recommendations to repair what’s wrong. The list is rated from urgent to non-urgent and then we decide what work to have done based on urgency and budget at the time. This also allows us to plan for upcoming repairs or service without being surprised or feeling desperate and frustrated about the impact on our budget.

This is an EASY 5 rating! My dad is 80 years old and was in need of a mechanic when I was out of town for an extended work project. He took it to Jim and team and they have been AMAZING! Their HONESTY is unmatched with other shops and the are FRIENDLY, EXPEDIENT, and ACCURATE with their quotes and they KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

So when my truck had some issues I took it to then without hesitation and told them what I thought the issue was. Hen they looked they told me my issue wasn't there, but they found a much smaller issue, fixed it and did a great job. Many shops would have taken my

Had a co-worker that went here and had a terrible experience with the owner of this establishment. They held her vehicle for over a month and made sexist comments towards her and her mother. People like this should not be in business!

I took my jeep here a few weeks ago, and they failed to change the oil like they said, or the coolant. So my keep started over heating. I spent 3 KS on getting it running, and it is not running good. They do shifty and shadey work. I will no longer is these c***s

Excellent job on my 1985 Iroc. they went out of the way to find the correct parts for my car. I believe that no one would go thru what they had to do to get my car back on the road. thanks to all that worked very hard.
