I've already recommended Eastside Auto Care. They're very good. They even have a shuttle service, so when I drop off my car, they pick me up in the shuttle. It's pretty good. The overall experience was very satisfactory.
First, their rate is very reasonable. When there are problems, they identify them correctly, and if Dave thinks it has to be changed now, he will suggest you do so. If the issue is minor, he will also tell you so.
For example, my check engine light started coming on, and they determined it was a catalytic converter issue. When Dave saw that, he asked how often has the light come on. I told him it was the second time, and he told me to make a change in where I fill it up. I go ahead and do that, I test it, and after three weeks, the light still hasn't come back on. I'm convinced some other place would have tried to rip me off. That's just one example of how they've given me good service.
A second time, I had purchased some wiper blades. I asked Dave to install them, and he said okay but warned me that he had seen issues with them on other cars. About three weeks later, I found streaks on my windows. I really respect his experience and feedback.
