Crown Hill is always awesome professional and straightforward. I had a problem with my last truck and my original mechanic couldn’t figure it out. After three time of taking it to the other guy I finally took it to the guys at Crown Hill auto. They fixed my engine issue first time and I never had a problem with the truck again. That was over 6 years ago, I still go there with any issue or maintenance. Flat out the best mechanics in Seattle.

We really appreciated working with Jerry and his team at Crown Hill Automotive. They are a pretty unique shop with an amazing staff - everyone is highly technical and very friendly. I had them do a complete brake overhaul on a Jeep Renegade. They were able to fit us in timely and educated us throughout the process. I've been back to visit since for another very small tire issue and, again, they went out of their way to get us in quickly and resolve the issue. I plan to use them for routine oil changes and their 30-point inspection in the future. Thanks again for a fabulous experience!

A different incompetent mechanic made a silly mistake with my air filter system and Crown Hill quickly identified and fixed the problem. I also had a squeaking wheel that really sounded like a brake problem but turned out to just be the hub cap. The diagnostic costs $130/hr which seems pretty high to me, especially for simple problems like mine. But at least they are competent and careful, unlike the first guys I went to. Overall, the guys here can look intimidating and be a little gruff but they are friendly when they get warmed up

I have been an extremely happy patron of Crown Hill Automotive for over ten years. I have appreciated Jerry and team's knowledge, skills, really quick turn arounds, creative solutions to fixes, concern about cost (and checking before all work is done), great customer relations and just general all around good business practices. I drive a classic 1996 Vanden Plas "JagNoir". It's my sentimental ride and I appreciate that Jerry and his team take great care of the car and me. Thank you! I highly recommend this local business.
