Top Spec Auto

Top Spec always does a great job on my WRX. The price is beyond reasonable, it is at least 30% cheaper than what I would pay a Subaru dealer, and the quality of work is even better in my opinion. I brought the car in for suspension, brake, and exhaust upgrade. Everything was done within a day. Chris the mechanic is very knowledgeable on Subaru, you will know once you meet him. TC and Raymond are also very easy to work with, they take the time with their customers, they also helped me to order a few performance parts with very competitive pricing.

Once again a great result at Top spec thanks guys

top spec auto is really good. People in this shop truly are the nicest and most knowledgeable mechanics I have ever dealt with. They are always friendly, greet me with a smile, speak to me at length about things that need to be done, or fixed. Also, they are always reasonable with costs!

Very skilled and honest shop. My 2011 Impreza had complex electrical and suspension issues after the car slipped on an ice patch and hit a curb very hard. Chris (the mechanic) took time to pinpoint the problems that other shops overlooked. I was very impressed with his diagnostic skills. Repair was also done very neatly. Opens late & weekend so was easy for me to drop off & pick up. Strongly recommended.

Review is for car shopping and not for servicing.
The folks here are pretty nice. They don’t push a sale on you and they’ll let you test drive without any hassle.
But, the prices are a little steep, and it’s apparent because a handful of the cars have been there since summer (~4 months now). I understand Subarus are quite popular in the PNW, but asking for $ 8,000-$ 9,000 for an early 2000 vehicle nearing 150,000 miles is a bit over the top. This is without head gaskets even being done. Their shop will charge you $ 1,000 for a head gasket service if you buy the vehicle then, which is a great deal minus the car price tag. They’re obviously not going to tell you about the condition of the head gaskets, so it’s up to you to judge on that or to take it to a reputable mechanic for assessment.
One of the cars we tested seemed to have a dying or weak engine. A Subaru running like an old Civic with 90HP? But, they were still asking $ 8,000 for a 150K car with no head gaskets done, audio that didn’t work and windows that didn’t roll up.
We looked at another car and one of the guys told us there’s no rust on it. But compared to the first vehicle we checked, the metal around the engine had signs of rust. And, the brakes were chipping with corrosion. You could literally pick it off like a dry booger.
Just our experience.

I thought my wiper motor needed replacing. They checked everything before replacing the motor and found a loose connection that was causing the problem. Also did a courtesy check on the vehicle and offered to change my oil for a great price. Will definitely use this mechanic again!

Top Spec Auto was great. I don’t usually ever write reviews, but a great experience with an auto repair shop definitely deserves a shoutout. My Subaru needed a 60k service and I called around to the various Subaru dealerships and their quotes were all over the place and way too high. I gave them a call in the morning, and they were able to accommodate my drop off right away! TC with Top Spec was straightforward and honest in the his quote, and even gave me multiple options on they type of parts I wanted to use.
After dropping off my car, I got a text from them regarding my brake pads being worn down and needed to be swapped out, along with pictures showing that this was indeed the case. Over the experience was quick and painless, with very reasonable prices. Give Top Spec a shot, you won’t be sorry!

I am usually wary when I take my car to shops, but there was no scare factor at Top Spec Auto. These guys are honest from the beginning. They told me what repair had to be made, what could wait and so on. They didn’t try to scare me into repairs, they made me feel comfortable about dealing with them. I had gone to a few shops about a particular issue, Top Spec quoted me 40% less than everyone else on repairs. Not only that but they didn’t try to up sell me on unnecessary related repairs like the other guys. The repair was completed earlier than expected. The technicians here talk to you like you are as knowledgeable as they are. I appreciated not being talked down to, because other shop techs talk to costumers like they are clueless and insult your intelligence. Thanks Chris and the rest at Top Spec. Will recommend!

These guys are seriously the best ever. After fixing what was thought to be the issue, it turned out that the problem was not yet solved. We came back and these guys stood by their work, found and fixed the issue, and were VERY kind to us in regard to cost. They have earned our respect and loyalty 10 fold. Thank you!

The only place that I would bring my car to for all my service and performance mod. Top spec is the only shop I can trust. You can’t go wrong by just asking them for a quote. You will be surprised how much you can saved. I had been ripped off by other mechanic shop and I’m glad I finally find a honest quality mechanic shop.

This place rocks. They quoted me around $ 1,000 to fix my car and the total came to under $ 800 with discounts. My car runs great and I will be back to top spec auto for all of my repairs.

Top Spec Auto is a great shop, dealer and honest business. I had my Porsche in their for a brake service. I was able to call ahead and get the brake parts I wanted ordered. The manufacturer unfortunately sent the wrong parts, however I was very impressed at Top Spec’s professionalism and still being able to take care of me the same day. I had already planned to drop my vehicle off, and they reached out to their network of contacts to find the right parts I wanted. My car was still completed that same day and earlier than expected!
In the end, I was well taken care of with new brakes, topped of fluids and even replaced windshield wipers. They went beyond to make my experience great at a very affordable price! Thanks guys!

Top Spec is excellent. If you need work done on your car or you’re wise enough to do a pre-​purchase inspection on a car you’re looking to buy — do it here! BJ (the tech) is the best mechanic I’ve ever had the pleasure of doing business with. I wouldn’t take my car anywhere else and would recommend his work to anyone with complete confidence. He took the time to let me know exactly what my BMW needed to be as mechanically sound as possible, he completed the work faster than anticipated, and the work was done perfectly. He is thorough and honest, and will present options and plans of attack to get your car back on the road in top shape.
This place does great work, is fair and honest, and BJ is the real deal! Highly recommended.

BJ was able to provide me service in a really short notice. Needed my AC verified if it requires repairs due to no cool air was blowing from my AC. I originally had it checked my Jiffy Lube for the whole AC service/​refrigerant/​leaks but was not technical even to further troubleshoot. Called numerous auto shops and two of the shops suggested to replace my compressor for my AC. Very expensive repair and not seem feasible to what the problem was. I absolutely had to get a third opinion and came across TOP SPEC AUTO. Spoke to BJ and checked me in immediately. He did a A/​C diagnosis, inspection and check my fuses. I’m so relieved that he determine the problem. It was such a simple fix, a bad fuse. He replaced my AC relay which only cost $ 9.31.
TOP SPEC AUTO are knowledgable techs, trusting, and affordable!!! So happy that I was able to find honest auto techs.
This place will not let you down. I HIGHLY recommend it. Thanks again BJ!!!

Super props to there guys. Last Friday in running around finding car shopping and I found the car I was really interested in, but I wanted to have it checked out. Unfortunately it was getting on to 5 pm and, for mechanics, that is the start of the weekend. Worse, I was busy all that weekend and next week so I needed it done that day. My brother called these guys and they said if we cups get there shortly they would be happy to help.
We didn’t get there so shortly. In fact, we got there 15 mins later than we originally promised. On the easy we’re calling up all the shops we can find just in case we need a backup, but no luck. We call them one last time apologizing and ask if we’re still alright to swing by? They said yes.
We got there and Bj was super nice, very friendly and pretty thorough in his examination. He ended up talking with my brother about the concerns, but overall okayed the car. The other guy at the shop (Tc?), who was the salesman for their small inventory, came out to greet us, but amazingly never tried pushing a car onto us. Super friendly too!
To beat it all, for writing this review they gave me a discount. Now I’m the proud owner of a pretty smooth ride thanks to these guys.

Took my BMW X5 for a tune up they have great pricing for labor and parts and got a 20% discount off the labor for mentioning that I found them on Unilocal!I’ll be back as «Terminator» would say!

The only shop I will ever trust to work on my car. This shop is very hardworking, honest, thorough, and effective. Their customer’s best interest is always their number one priority so you can always expect them to do what’s really needed and you don’t even have to expect a big bill for them to do so. Seems like a win-​win to me! If you want an affordable and honest and reputable mechanic, you should’t look elsewhere!

The service here is outstanding! I was looking for a Mazda and all the other shops I had visit were overpowering sales representatives that were trying to push me just for the sale. Top spec was not my typical experience, they took care me in a comfortable atmosphere. The technician was very knowledgable and helped me find the best fitting car. I now own a Mazda 6 and couldn’t be happier with my new purchase!

… Was referred by a friend. I drove all the way to Everret from Seattle to have my brake done.
A reasonable price + Friendly services + well done job. Whats else do you want Men? Very satisfied!

Had my truck service here the other day. Very quick service and honestly it was very affordable. Lots of good and honest recommendations. They even showed and pointed out that my spark plugs tips were still good and didn’t really need changing. Didn’t try to up sale me or anything. Very professional and highly recommend these guys.
