Got a pre-purchase inspection. Was charged $150 after taxes and the mechanic did a 10 minute look over and drove the car around the parking lot. I asked him to inspect the engine mount twice and he only looked at it after the inspection was done and asking him again for a 3rd time. I’ve had cheaper and more comprehensive inspections done for less and I came away with wasted time and no confidence in doing a purchase. The mechanic was communicative and helpful though.

I had a great experience with C&M Auto! It was easy to get an appointment. The staff members were friendly to not only me, but everyone who came in. Walter gave me updates while I waited in the lobby during the diagnostic on air conditioning. They were able to solve the problem quickly, professionally, and at a fair price. I will be coming back the next time I need work on my car. Highly recommend!

Ceasar came with his helper-student to replace alternator on my van. His helper didn't look like he knows what he was doing. After they replaced it, I was driving van in MT when problem happened. They didn't tighten alternator enough, it became loose, belt snapped, alternator propeller crashed in pieces, those pieces damaged few hoses and parts under the hood. Stay away from that shop!!! Or stay in the shop to see if they are doing their job properly..

I had a disappointing experience at this shop and would not return. I initially chose them because they are part of the RepairPal network, which should have made repairs more affordable with my CarMax MaxCare warranty. Unfortunately, the service was frustrating from the start. Cesar, the person assisting me, seemed unfamiliar with my car and its issue despite having the documentation in front of him. When I asked about rental car coverage (which I had discussed with another employee, Natalie), he abruptly interrupted me, assuming he knew what I was going to say. This lack of listening and communication was off-putting, and I nearly took my car elsewhere but was ultimately convinced to leave it. Cesar told me he would call the next day at 12, but I never heard from him. I had to call at 4 p.m., only to find out they hadn’t actually diagnosed the issue yet. When they finally did, it was because they removed the door panel—meaning the entire previous day, they hadn’t even started investigating the problem, wasting my time while keeping my car for multiple nights. On top of that, there was a severe lack of transparency regarding pricing. I was given inconsistent quotes for repairs, and I was never told that I’d be charged $260 for a diagnostic if CarMax didn’t cover the issue. Clear communication about potential charges is essential for good customer service, and that was completely lacking here. Ultimately, I paid for a diagnostic, didn’t get my issue resolved, and left feeling scammed. This shop needs to improve its communication, transparency, and customer service. I would not recommend it. **Edit** I got a response to this review with some very invalid claims. So happy to be done with a scammy company that would go this far to try and discredit. Updated my 2 star to a 1 star. Attaching a photo of the part missing from my car after their service.

I got a used car inspected by them. The technician Walter was very friendly and responsive. Answered most of my questions patiently. But I felt the inspection was not comprehensive. Few basic things were not checked like condition of fluids, filters etc. even after multiple asks. Also, it is like - look, touch and feel kind of assessment rather than a technology backed evaluation. I haven't seen any instruments like voltmeter, paint thickness gauge, tire thread depth gauge etc. used to check things. After all, I didn't get complete confidence to go ahead with the vehicle even after being evaluated as a good vehicle. And the price ($153.00) is a lot for the service given. We can get the same level of service for $50-70 outside.

Unfortunately, my experience with this auto repair shop was extremely unpleasant. I ordered new doors through eBay and had them delivered directly to this shop. However, instead of replacing the old doors as we agreed, they just painted the old ones — and not even in the right color. The quality of the work was very poor. When I asked to resolve the situation peacefully and simply take my new doors back, they refused. Only after long negotiations did they agree to return my money and the doors. But instead of doing that, they began threatening to damage my car. All I wanted was to get my doors and leave. I highly recommend being very careful and reading all reviews before trusting this shop with your vehicle.”**

All good. I called in the evening, they were already waiting in the morning. They treated me to coffee, played pleasant music and did the wheel alignment very quickly. Thank you!

Great service! Veteran run (who is also fluent In Español). Coffee delicious and ready. Bottles of water in the fridge. Seats in the waiting area are more comfortable than they look. Floor is cleaned a few times a day. Bathroom is spotless.

I had such a great experience at C and M Auto in Bellevue! I came in for an oil change and was blown away by the kindness and professionalism of the team. Walter and Cesar were absolutely amazing — not only were they quick and efficient, but they also made me feel genuinely cared for as a customer. They took the time to explain everything clearly, didn’t try to upsell me on anything unnecessary, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. It’s rare to find an auto shop that feels this honest and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back for all my car needs — highly recommend!

I had a good first impression of C & M Auto Repair & Collision based on their customer service, and I found them through Groupon. I went in for a tire alignment and also had the transmission oil changed. Before the service, my car was running fine with no engine lights. Right after I got home, the engine light turned on, and I couldn’t drive the car back to Bellevue. I asked them to arrange a tow, but they gave me a phone number to pay for my own tow to get the car back to the shop. I'm concerned about what caused the issue after the service. They didn’t follow up properly, which has led to a lack of trust.

My experience is that Cesar is an honest auto mechanic with a ton of experience. This review is based on my last experience from March 2025. The door locking system on my 2016 BMW 535xi had stopped working. At BMW Bellevue they found 3 different issues they wanted to diagnose for a total of $750 at which point the issue wouldn't be fixed, just diagnosed. I kindly declined and went to C&M Auto repair where I was greeted by all smiley faces. Cesar plugged in his computer that told him a fuse had failed. He quickly found the failing fuse on the fuse board in the glove department, replaced it and verified that door system had returned to normal behavior. I was there a total of an hour and was charged $153 incl. tax. In my book that is high quality and great value service.

Excellent car advice from representative Walter at C & M. He really helped out me out in a pinch and got my car out of the shop within a day. Quick service and no complaints here.
