Whitman's is a great place to take your vehicle for pretty much any kind of repair needed. The turnaround time was very fast. Dave is a straightforward mechanic who gave me an honest assessment of my van and had a long list of work completed in only 2 days. I plan on bringing more vehicles here in the future.

These guys are the most fair, honest and detail oriented mechanics. I first stumbled across them when I used the intoxalock service. Then I took my car to them for an oil leak, turns out i just needed a filter! I have taken my car there when I just needed a light bulb, even when they're closing up the shop they still help me (with no judgements of course for not knowing how to change a headlight) Will always talks me through everything and will even teach me how to do it myself! I just took my Impala Ltz there for some grinding and noises, it was fixed and diagnosed (traction control wiring issue) within 2 days at such a low cost. These guys are always so fair with me and care about what they do. I won't go anywhere else. And might I add, they do oil changes for a fraction of the cost at other places! These guys are hands down my favorite. Thank you for everything you do to help when in a rut. Car issues are stressful and they make it easy!

Great service. Took it in to diagnose an issue I had been having and was taken care of swiftly and professionally. I will be going back here for any professional work I need done in the future.

Dave and Will are some of the most amazing, thoughtful, and mechanically intelligent folks I’ve been able to trust with my fleet of vehicles. Their service is unmatched, prices are fair and honest, and their combined vast knowledge makes me feel confident with their work. They get things done in a very timely manner and have always treated me like I matter as a customer. I honestly can not recommend Whitman’s auto enough.

Will is great. He has been our mechanic for many many years. (I believe more than 10 years.) He is so knowledgeable about the mechanics of our cars. Amazing. He takes very good care of our cars, points out issues, and issues that could arise in the future without aggressively pushing to get it serviced right away (like most dealership do, at least that was my experience). Also, we get reminders when we are due for service/oil changes etc. which is super nice. Service is always prompt and never delayed. And if we have issues that are outside of their scope of work, he has a list of recommendations for the work that is needed (body shops, glass places) We can highly recommend David and Will's Auto Care Center as we have been trusting them with our cars for years.

Dave and Will are simply the best most trustworthy shop I have had the pleasure of doing business with. I drive down from BonneyLake, WA to have them do most of the services on my 2017 Murano! They are knowledgeable and efficient! Have several friends and family that use them too.

You will not find a more honest mechanic anywhere. Dave is the best of the best . I recently left Oregon, I wish I could have taken him with me . People like him are nearly impossible to find . -V Rossi

Took my 2012 Evoque in for an oil change, and informed the mechanic ( wish I remembered his name.. bill/will????) that it had an oil leak but has been temporarily fixed(not currently leaking). He was kind enough to ensure that he would check to see if there was oil leaking and very understanding. He got started on the oil change right away and reported that there was no active leak but it did look as if there was a leak from oil Drip Stains he saw . He assured me that it did not look too significant, though it could get worked depending on how much I drive. He was very helpful in telling when to check/how often to ensure my oil stays full and monitor the leak! Definitely will go back , and would Recommend to anyone :)

Dave is amazing! Finally, an honest and fair mechanic. He always seems to be able to get us in quickly, and repairs are done fast. The prices are reasonable, and often lower than quoted prices elsewhere. We recently had an intermittent issue with an alternator. He diagnosed it correctly and put in a rebuilt unit. This solved the problem, but a few months later, the problem started again. The alternator tested normally as he kept trying throughout the day. He kept at it, and we had ended up with a bad replacement unit. 100% not his fault at all, but he apologized profusely and replaced the bad unit for no cost. If you need a quality local mechanic you can trust, look no further than Dave!

I brought a used car in for a pre-purchase inspection and was absolutely impressed with the quality of service and attention to detail that I received. I could tell Will really cared about his quality of work and went as far as showing pictures he had taken to help better convey his findings. He had even looked up any known issues with the make and model prior to my arrival to better help his diagnosis and know where he should focus extra attention. He offered his honest opinion of the car in its current state, which really helped me make a confident and educated decision on whether to purchase the vehicle or not. I would highly recommend Will to others.

My older SUV started leaking coolant. Some internet searching lead me to believe it might be a blown radiator. Definitely beyond my ability to repair. I did some emergency googling to find a repair shop ASAP, as this is our only reliable vehicle at the moment. Whitman’s Auto Care popped up as an option that was relatively close to home, and the reviews were very positive. I called and spoke with Dave, who offered to look at it if I could get it to him first thing the following morning (on a Friday). 30 minutes after dropping it off at their shop, he called and confirmed what the needed repair was. 5 hours later, the car was repaired and a couple of extra, minor maintenance items were handled as well. Price was very reasonable according to the average cost of repairs as listed on Google. More importantly even than price, though, was that the two men working there were helpful, willing to set aside things to help us. Dave said he’s had that shop open for many years, and plans to pass it to his son when he retires. Definitely the kind of business people should be patronizing. Family guys who do good work at a reasonable price and extremely quick. 10/10 would recommend, they will be my first call when I have a problem in the future.

Whitman’s Auto.. just left there again.. and I will go back again. Honest, knowledgeable, reliable, respectful, reasonable and just “good people.” I’m old, I’d lost faith in the customer service of what I knew years ago. I found it again at Whitman’s.

Great service, on short notice they were able to book me in and able to fix the problem in my vehicle very quickly. Will be coming back again next time we need service.

Great service. Stopped by unannounced on a Saturday with a squeak from my serpentine belt. Come to find out my crank pulley had completely split into two pieces! Very quick turnaround, no complaints with pricing.

Whitman’s Automotive has been such a great find. I originally found Dave when my car suddenly started smoking & leaking fluid on my way to an appointment— he was the closest mechanic, so I called in a bit of a panic. He told me to bring it right over and had it repaired by the end of the day. I really appreciated the quick turnaround. Since then, both my husband and I have had our brakes done there, and every experience has been the same: honest, knowledgeable, reliable, respectful, and just genuinely good people. Dave is straightforward, his prices are fair, and you never feel taken advantage of. It’s not easy to find a mechanic you trust, but we feel good about going to Whitman’s. We’ll go back again and again — and happily recommend them.
