8 businesses in Kirkland have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 7 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 149 or more reviews. A shop with a long history and a 4.6 is a safer call than a perfect 5.0 from a handful of people.
For work a general shop may turn away, Kirkland has 2 body and collision shops and 1 tire shop. Call ahead with the year, make and model so you do not waste a trip.
Washington does not require a periodic safety or emissions inspection for passenger cars. The emissions check program ended January 1, 2020. Tampering with emissions equipment is still illegal. Details are on the Washington State Department of Ecology site. A shop must give a written estimate for repairs over $100 when the customer deals with the shop face to face. The shop needs approval before going more than 10 percent over the estimate, and customers can ask for replaced parts back if they ask before work starts. Read the rule.
