The Highest Rated Auto Repair in Seattle

Ranked by the rating and review count on each listing, not by who pays us. Nobody pays us.

  1. Rapid Roadside Runner★ 5.0146 reviews · Specialty
  2. Heroes Auto & Detail (We're Mobile)★ 5.055 reviews · Mobile
  3. Mobile Quality Auto Service★ 5.047 reviews · Mobile & Shop
  4. Sam's Auto Services★ 5.045 reviews · Repair Shop
  5. West Seattle Mechanics★ 5.034 reviews · Repair Shop

The best reviewed business in Seattle right now is Rapid Roadside Runner, at 5.0 stars across 146 reviews. Every shop above clears 4.3 stars with at least 15 reviews behind it, which is the point where a rating starts meaning something. Plenty of shops hold five stars on four reviews. That is not the same thing.

Of the 60 businesses listed in Seattle, there are 36 that will come to you, 22 with a workshop you drive to and 3 tire shops. 2 of them have been claimed by the owner, which means somebody has confirmed the hours, the phone number and what they actually work on. An unclaimed listing is not a worse business. It just means we built the record and nobody has corrected it yet.

Getting a Car Fixed in Seattle

Independent shops in Washington usually charge $110 to $160 an hour for labor, which is above the national average. A quote is the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts. At Washington rates, a brake pad replacement runs about $140 to $390 and a car battery replacement runs about $155 to $410 for a midsize car.

Of the 54 Seattle listings that post their hours, 42 open on Saturday and 29 on Sunday. 30 open before 8 AM on weekdays, which helps if you need to drop the car off before work.

36 businesses in Seattle have at least 15 reviews, enough for a rating to mean something, and 32 of those hold 4.5 stars or better. Half of them have 101 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, Seattle has 1 body and collision shop, 3 tire shops, 1 RV and trailer shop and 5 heavy duty and fleet shops. 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.

It freezes on about 25 nights a year here. Not many, but the first cold snap is when a weak battery shows itself, so test it in the fall.

The average commute in Seattle is 26 minutes each way, and 37% of workers drive there alone. 19% of households have no car at all, which is part of why mechanics who come to you do well here.

Junkyards and Salvage Yards Near Seattle

3 junkyards, salvage yards and used parts yards within 8 miles of Seattle, the most reviewed first.

A used part can take a real bite out of a repair bill. Ask your mechanic before you buy one, because some shops will not warranty labor on a part you bring in. Call the yard first too. Stock changes every day. To check hundreds of yards at once, search the part on Car-Part.com.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in Seattle

Buying a used car in Seattle? PPI Auto, our sister company, sends an inspector to the car for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. That is a 122 point check with a full scan and a road test, and the report comes back the same day. Dealer lot, private seller or auction, it works the same.

There are 140 car lots within 8 miles of Seattle, and 111 of them sell used. PPI Auto grades 73 of them A to F from their reviews, and 6 get an F. See the Seattle dealer grades before you go look at a car.

Washington has no regular safety or emissions inspection, so unless the last owner paid for one, nobody has looked under that car.

Questions About Auto Repair in Seattle

How many auto repair businesses are there in Seattle?

We list 60 in Seattle, WA. That covers mobile mechanics, workshops, diesel and heavy duty specialists, body shops and tire shops. Every one has its own page with the phone number, what they work on and the reviews we have found.

Who is the best rated mechanic in Seattle?

Rapid Roadside Runner currently holds the highest rating in Seattle at 5.0 stars from 146 reviews. Rapid Roadside Runner, Heroes Auto & Detail (We're Mobile), Mobile Quality Auto Service are the top three by rating among businesses with a real review history behind them. We rank on the ratings themselves and nobody can pay to appear there.

Are there mobile mechanics in Seattle?

Yes. 36 of the businesses we list in Seattle will travel to you rather than making you bring the car in. That covers most servicing, brakes, batteries, diagnostics and plenty of repairs that do not need a lift.

How much do mechanics charge per hour in Seattle?

Independent shops in Washington usually bill $110 to $160 an hour for labor. The national range is $95 to $140. Dealers charge more. Most quotes are the book time for the job times that rate, plus parts, so ask the shop how many hours it is billing you for.

Does Washington require a car inspection?

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.

Are any mechanics in Seattle open on Sunday?

Yes. 29 of the businesses we list in Seattle show Sunday hours, including Rapid Roadside Runner, Heroes Auto & Detail (We're Mobile) and Mobile Quality Auto Service. Call first, because Sunday hours are often short and some only take emergencies.

How do I know a shop in Seattle is trustworthy?

Look at the review count as well as the stars, because five stars from four people tells you very little. 2 of the 60 listings in Seattle have been claimed by the owner, who confirmed the details. 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. Get the quote in writing before any work starts.

Does it cost more to use a mobile mechanic in Seattle?

Usually not. 36 of the businesses in Seattle come to you, and with no building to pay for, they often charge a bit less than a shop. What they cannot do in a driveway is work that needs a lift or a press, so heavy jobs still go to a shop.

Where are the junkyards in Seattle?

The most reviewed junkyards and used parts yards near Seattle are Earthwise Architectural Salvage, Northern European Auto Recyclers and Rainer Yard. Call before you go, because what is on the lot changes daily.

Can I get a pre-purchase inspection in Seattle?

Yes. PPI Auto, our sister company, inspects used cars in Seattle for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. The inspector comes to the car, runs a 122 point check and sends the report the same day. Call 951-267-8500 to book.

How do I check a mechanic's license in Seattle?

Ask the shop for any state or city license it holds and get the estimate in writing before work starts. None of the 60 listings in Seattle has given us a license number yet. Rules differ by state, so check with Washington's consumer protection office if a shop's answer sounds wrong.

Why do some Seattle listings have photos and others do not?

17 of the 60 listings in Seattle show a photo or logo. They come from the owner, from the business's own website, or from our own jobs for Supercanic locations. We never put a stock or AI photo on someone else's business. Owners can claim their listing free and add their own.

How does MechanicRank check the mechanics in Seattle?

We call, text and email the businesses we list to confirm their details, and listings whose numbers turn out to be dead come off the directory. 2 of the 60 in Seattle have been claimed and confirmed by the owner. Nobody can pay to rank higher.

Why use MechanicRank to find a mechanic in Seattle?

Because we work with these mechanics, not just list them. Besides checking listings, we run free study guides and certification exams for mechanics, publish repair cost guides by state, and give shops software to send written quotes and invoices. 36 of the Seattle listings come to you, 54 carry a rating with the review count beside it, and the order on this page follows the published rules on our How We Rank page.

How much does a mobile mechanic cost in Seattle?

Most mobile mechanics in Seattle price by the job, not the hour. Independent shop labor in Washington runs about $110 to $160 an hour, and mobile prices usually land in the same range for the same repair. Some add a trip fee and some fold it in. Ask for one total price, trip included, before they drive out. Our repair cost guides show typical parts and labor for each job.

Is $100 an hour fair for mechanic labor in Washington?

Yes. Typical independent shop labor in Washington is about $110 to $160 an hour, so $100 is below the normal range. Dealers often charge more. What matters most is the total. Ask how many hours the job is quoted at and compare that with a second shop.

Who is the best mobile mechanic in Seattle?

By rating and review count together, the strongest mobile mechanics in the Seattle area right now are Rapid Roadside Runner (5.0 stars, 146 reviews), Mobile Mechanic Seattle (5.0 stars, 86 reviews) and Heroes Auto & Detail (We're Mobile) (5.0 stars, 55 reviews). We weigh stars against how many reviews back them, so a perfect score on a few reviews does not win.

What are the downsides of using a mobile mechanic?

Some work needs a shop. Transmission swaps, engine rebuilds, alignments and anything that needs a lift go to a garage. Bad weather can push back a driveway job, and you need a safe, legal place to park where the mechanic can work. Many mobile mechanics also run a shop, or will tell you up front when a job needs one.

How do I shop around for car repairs?

Get a written estimate that lists parts and labor. Call two or three shops with the same estimate and ask each for a total price. Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the work. Read recent reviews, not just the star score. A shop that explains the problem clearly and shows you the old part is a good sign.
