Mathewson's are REALLY auto mechanic experts! There is no car problem that they haven't dealt with before. They have a special expertise with older cars, which I like because I am the proud owner of a 1991 Cadillac and a 1997 Toyota. My only beef is that they tend to be expensive, but I would say that they are not more expensive that another expert. I recommend them! Thanks, David Ross

Mathewsons did an excellent job with diagnostic work with some mechanical issues on my 1966 Ford Fairlane 500XL. They kept me abreast of the work performed, and delivered on time. Plus, at my request, they put my car up on a lift, and gave it a thorough safety inspection. I highly recommend them!

These guys have been so great to me for about the past17 years! I was having nothing but trouble with other places where I took my car and once I found them, it was straight forward and clear. They have been the ONLY shop I trust! They are nice, consistent and know what they are doing! I recommend them to everyone. Even though I've moved out to Issaquah, I still bring my car to them!

Came in for an oil change and diagnostic test . Got a list of other things wrong, totaling nearly $1000. When I left the shop i made a left turn and my car made the loudest cackling cracking type noise I've ever heard. So I took it to a friend and he said it was very clear my suspension had been cut in the front.. Like a precise cut. It was intentionally done and funny enough that was on the list of things they claimed I needed repaired. Before I took my car to them that was certainly not an issue. Very untrustworthy and dishonest business.

My first experience with this auto repair shop. Took my '04 Kia Sedona to Mathewson's expecting a timing belt replacement and some work on the noisy power steering system. The mechanic, called after diagnosing and said the timing belt wasn't due and the power steering fluid was still in good condition. An honest business and I would highly recommend them! Their entire building is practically a museum filled with memorabilia and classic cars, a lot of them actual customer vehicles. Friendly front desk too!

We had our brakes repaired there and would up with an issue. They solved it immediately and were quite chagrined that something had failed. For most businesses I completely understand that mistakes happen, although I don’t know if this was a mistake on THEIR part or a defective part they put in and weren’t aware was defective. The way they owned it and took IMMEDIATE steps to fix it was excellent customer service and makes me confident to use them in the future with complete trust that we will be taken care of well.

Highly recommended if you're tried of the dealerships. Reasonably priced. Low wait times. Quality work. Shuttle services if you'll be waiting all afternoon. Though if you need a ton fixed I suggest going to the dealership because the dealership will offer you a discount. Mathewson's prices everything individually and can add up fast.

Mathewson's always provides excellent work and service. Always done on schedule and they contact you immediately when the vehicle is ready. In these days of not knowing who to trust for auto repair, you can trust Mathewson's for accurate diagnosis and repairs. Leave the dealer behind and go to a quality place. Great staff and always friendly.

I have taken both our vehicles to Mathewson's for the past 17 years for ALL service from the time the vehicles were new. I have complete trust in their diagnosis and repair. I'll not use another service provider. They are always prompt, courteous, fully explain repair options, and stand behind their work. One time, while waiting for my vehicle from an oil change, I overheard the technician explaining options to a young lady. Provided three options, from low cost get the vehicle running to total repair. They provided costs for each and how long each option was expected to last. That allowed her to get her vehicle running based on her budget and how long she expected to keep the car. Another time, we were on a lengthy driving trip, were in Ohio, and had a check engine indicator. We called them on the phone, they explained the likely situation and made recommendations to remedy the situation. Mathewson's is the very best automotive repair service I've had in my 60 years of driving. They are the best and will do their best to keep your vehicle in top running condition!

Been a loyal customer since 2018. I take my Nissan Murano 2010 here for all its maintenance & checks needs. 5 star quality service and employees. Super honest and knowledgeable group of people. I also enjoyed my princess pick up and drop off from one of their long time employee, Porter :-)

I had my 1999 Dodge truck rear differential rebuilt about a year ago. It was serviced and returned in the same day. Had zero problems and the counter person was very professional. Returned a year after for required differential fluid change. Once again I was able to schedule an appointment for a reasonable time and a reasonable quote. The turnaround again was one day. They even took the time to address all of my questions. These guys are pro's and the recommendations can't be high enough. Thanks Methewson's!

I took my vehicle to have lube and oil change as I have done for years. They know my car well. They found, in their routine maintenance, the potential for another problem. I granted them permission to correct it. I appreciate their being so thorough. They are the best! .

This is the best service I have ever had, in regards to car repair. There prices were more then fair, the quality of there work was excellent and they kept me posted on what my price would be, and had it done right when they said it would be finished. This was my first experience with this company, but they are now my auto repair shop. Thank you Josh- the little Nissan truck

Im typically the type of person who does my own work on vehicles and have a lot of experience. Due to life i had to take my firebird to a shop for a transmission leak and general service. The price was fair and the work they did was not only honest, it was also proper. I would definitely recommend to others

I’ve taken my 68 Mustang in several times now for everything from a disc brake conversion, to work on the carburetor, to replacing filters and seals. They were thorough and professional, explained everything well, and did an awesome job. She runs much better, and I definitely trust Mathewson’s implicitly to take care of my Mustang.
