Acme is the place I've been hoping to find all these years. I have brought three of my vehicles here. And will bring any more I ever get and recommend everyone else to also. They are a great group of guys to talk with and to let work on your vehicles. This is the type of shop you rarely hear about. I have nothing but great things to say about them. The family story how the shop is run says it all.

I have an older car whose electric windows finally stopped working. A local mechanic who couldn't figure it out what was wrong told me to come here, speaking highly of their expertise and service. Sure enough, they figured out what was wrong and instead of trying to persuade me to spend the money to fix it, let me know they agreed and supported my decision to not put any more money into this car. They had even taken photos of the ruined wires to show it to me and thoroughly explain the problem! They did all of this in just a few hours instead of a longer wait time, and, because they diagnosed it so quickly, they didn't even charge me. Great shop, honest, dependable, and trustworthy.

Acme Electric repaired my work van it had electrical issue. They diagnosed the problem quickly and accurately and fixed within reasonable amount of time. I appreciated stuff had a professional attitude and did not mind taking time to explain to me what was the issue and the options available for fixing it. I recommend them.

Acme is amazing! My van had a tricky electrical problem that other shops had not been able to diagnose and resolve, these guys had it figured out and fixed in no time! Based on that success I had them test and recharge my air conditioning which had not worked well in years. Whatever they did worked because two years later (updated 10/23) it is still blowing frosty cold! Had them fix a few other smaller issues like a door that wouldn't lock with the key fob, mission accomplished... My 10+ year old minivan is now in tip-top condition thanks to Acme. Experts at their trade, pleasant to work with, professional, fair prices, top quality parts and they stand by their work. Give them a shot, you'll be happy you did!

Honest, communicative, and fair! Explained everything to me and kept me updated and the work ended up being about $100 than the original quoted price. Highly recommend! Will be coming back here if I need their services again!

Full marks awarded to this shop. They got me in the next day, comprehensively diagnosed my alternator failure, explained in detail how they did so when I asked, and charged me for less than an hour of work for all of the above. For comparison, the Toyota dealership tried to charge 3X the price, sell me a new battery + install, and took two full days to "verify" this work as part of the warranty claim that followed. The customer service here was respectful and kind, but just as efficient and accurate as their work. Without a doubt this is the place I'll go when I have electrical issues I can't sort out myself. Highly recommend.

I came here to convert my AC system fittings from R12 to R134, and AC servicing. They were the perfect shop to go to. Parking is not ideal, but worth it in my opinion because the mechanics know what they are doing. They explained the whole process to me and were great on communication.

I needed to fix my car’s A/C during the height of hot Seattle weather. Curtis at Acme Auto got me in within a few days of calling and did a phenomenal job fixing things up. The cost was on the lower end of what other shops were estimating as well. Moreover, when I came by to pick my car up, I asked whether he could take a look at some issues I was having with my check engine light and wiper fluid sprayers. He agreed to do so without any hesitation. He fixed the sprayer issue I was having and informed me of the codes affecting my check engine light for free. Curtis is a stand up guy and extremely good at what he does. I will be coming back to Acme Auto for any additional car service I need.

Curtis fixed my A/C for $260 when I was worried it was going to cost me $1000. He was fast and communicative, and found another issue with my car while he was at it. I had a great experience here!

Great experience with Acme. Brought my 04 suburban here for various issues and they handled all of them well and efficiently. Curtis is a solid guy, very knowledgeable and transparent. Communication was prompt and accurate and courteous. He’s been at it 43 years, he knows what’s up!

really great service, and nicer to know that i was supporting a small biz! i showed up 45 minutes before closing because i was concerned of a wiring issue with my headlights and the team took a quick look and immediately addressed the issue, going so far as driving up the street to find a replacement bulb. as they were wrapping up i asked about a potential brake issue and they took a look and gave me a rough estimate for what it would cost— such quick service and i’m looking forward to bringing my car back!

Curtis and Dan are simply the best. I've been a car guy for decades, and I rarely see their combination of expertise, very fair pricing and superb customer service. Was referred to Acme by my mechanic for a computer-related electrical problem. Acme solved the problem quickly, fairly and with remarkable expertise. The world of car repair needs more Acme!!

This was my first time taking my car to ACME. My normal repair shop couldn't handle an electric fix. They evaluated and identified the problem within a few hours. Curtis drove over to Jeep to get the replacement part. They fixed it that day, as well as fixing a few other problems, all for a reasonable price. Five stars for speed, attention to detail, and solving a lot of small problems that have bothered me for a long time.

NEVER TRUST ACME! 🚫 It's a scam! I brought my car in for an AC check, and Curtis claimed they have found the issue under 25 minutes. However, after getting the "repaired" part replaced, I discovered they'd actually just loosened a wire and removed a fuse to make it seem like a bigger problem. As someone who works on their own vehicle, I knew all I needed was a simple AC charge/filled. Don't waste your hard-earned money on untrustworthy mechanics. Take your car elsewhere or save your funds and DIY (DO It Yourself) if you can. My problem been fixed I traveled to another state to refill my vehicle AC myself. I'll Never trust these people here ever again!! They want to charge an arm and a leg for something so simple to fix/do, but make it sound like it's a big issue to fix that's how these people make money by just having your vehicle sit in their shop for days and hours what a big SHAME 🫠

Got a simple oil change, ready in a couple hours, easy in and out situation! The guys were nice and if I’m being honest, I think they vacuumed my front seats :))

After my car had electrical issues, Acme did excellent and prompt work quoting my repairs. They were a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful. Would recommend!
