Found Peterson Automotive after I bought my 2019 Crosstrek. In my 50 years of driving I've not found a more honest and trustworthy auto shop! Although I dont need much work done besides oil changes at this point, I trust them. They are always busy, so make your appointment asap!

Sandi Vosburg

Used Peterson Automotive multiple times and never had any problems with my cars after. They've worked on my child's STI, rebuilding the entire engine. And worked on my other child's C300, getting rid of the stalling issue. Quick service, friendly staff, highly educated mechanics. RECOMMEND!!

Abby

Always love the service and respect there. Will always utilize their services and also send others to them as well

Was referred to this company for service. I have taken both vehicles here now and could not be happier with the service.

Caroline Brooks

Great mechanics and great people. I highly recommend them.

Marianne Neely

Amazing service! Chris is a wonderful person and a very knowledgeable professional. The guys who worked on my car did a great job and the overall experience was nothing but great. Plus, they gave me the best price. I called multiple shops after I got a list of to-dos from the dealership and Peterson automotive gave the most reasonable quote. I would definitely recommend them!

Anna

They are friendly and knowledgeable. They take the time to make sure you know what is happening with your vehicle and they complete work promptly.

Wendy Farber

This is a great family run business with honest hard working folks who get the job done right and stand behind their work. Honesty and integrity are not always synonymous with the auto repair industry but Peterson Automotive exemplifies both. I wouldn't go anywhere else. If quality, professionalism and integrity matter to you, go to Peterson Automotive.

Martin Allen

These guys are the best. Kind, honest, and do good work.

Michael Williams

We have taken several of our vehicles to this shop over the years. We have always had a great experience. The service is great, reliable and honest. We will definitely continue to come back and refer our friends.

Natasha Georgescu

Dianna Pietrzykowski

I have had great service with Peterson Automotive ! The knowledge and the care I've received on the care of my car has been great! The receptionist is also extremally knowledgeable about car repairs! She has advised me what maybe wrong with my car and the break down on the cost. The waiting room is well set up with a TV and coffee if you need it to relax. My car is a BMW usually its hard to find a close by Mechanic to work on it I'm so happy with their service!

Sherry Froeber

Great work, good price. Even better service. Chris is a stand up guy. They run a tight ship here. No steering you astray. Highly recommended! My new go to shop for all my mobiles from here on out!!

metal4afterlife

They are honest and reliable and go out of their way to find parts for your car. Their prices are good. I would trust them with any of my car and highly recommend seeing them first before you go anywhere else.

Debra Carroll

Great people work here. They don't try to scam you out of money & they genuinely try to help their customers. I won't take my cars anywhere else

Michelle Lynn

Brie Begins

My experience at Petersons automotive repair started with my 2015 Kia Soul. My daughter has her cars maintenance done there and said I should go. I did. My kia was toast! Cylinder issues. Petersons diagnosed it for a minimal fee. I now drive a Subaru legacy. Petersons diagnosed and fixed my car within the time frame they gave me and charged less than they first quoted. I am returning in 11 days to ask them to fix the immediate needs of the car. They are awesome! RaShonda will answer the phone and give you a no nonsense answer. They are very thorough. It is rare to find efficiency in the world of auto care. Petersons is my beacon of light in an otherwise dark world of vehicle repairs and maintenance. I am grateful to them and appreciate that they are doing well for the community. Love and light to all.

Teri Reeder

These Guys Are Honest & Very Efficient . They Have Been Real Helpful To My Ex-Wife ! Thanx Fellas !

Todd Parker

Amazing and honest. They give you all the information up front before they dig into your vehicle . I will never take my car anywhere else. The price they quote you is the price that you pay. If they find something that they had not quoted you on they will call you and they will let you know right away. Rashonda and Eric are amazing people. I will never take my car elsewhere.

Scott Wheeler

A family ran business. Great rates And they get it done!

Stan Miller

Small town service. Highly recommend!

Alanna Olson

Everyone that works here is honest and extremely helpful. I recommend this shop to everybody I know.

Trevor Raska

I have consistently had great experiences at Petersons! The staff are incredibly friendly and patient when I have questions or concerns. They explain things to me very clearly, ensuring that I understand everything that is happening with my car and what needs to be done. They have gone out of their way to ensure the parts they order are as inexpensive as possible without compromising on quality. Sometimes the wait to get in can be long, but they are worth the wait!

Sarah Hart

I always feel confident and respected when having my car serviced at Peterson's Automotive. They are honest and courteous and I highly recommend them.

William Rathgeber

I know every time that I take my Honda Pilot in to Peterson Automotive to be serviced it will be done accurately and efficiently. I also don't need to worry that after the service they would give me a litany of stuff that "needs" to be fixed immediately like some dealerships have done to me...trying to get me to buy one of their cars! Peterson only tells me what needs to be done for the safety and integrity of my pilot. There is nothing better than being able to totally trust your mechanic shop! That's Peterson Automotive for me!

Beth Johnson

Corvettes, classic s or newer model's. Eric and his crew can fix it

Delm Stabu

Super honest, great value, reliable work.

Mark Hoenisch

Prompt, professional, courteous. The staff at Peterson Automotive are second to none. I promise you, these people are the best.

Chris Kvistad (AzureCathexis)

Still love these guys, they're practically family at this point.

Ben Lasher

Awesome service filled with kindness. I recommend this place to all people with car or pickup troubles.

KEN R BURKE JR

Really great mechanics here! Fair & knowledgeable :)

Cassandra Poe

It's hard to find a reputable mechanic in a new place. But these guys are what you're looking for. They not only did a fine job with my car, they also showed me that what the other guys said needed to be done didn't. They turned away money in their pocket because it just didn't need to be done yet. It's rare to find a quality, up-standing, honest mechanic. This company proved to me they are worthy of my business. I recommend them without reservation.

Not Public

I have had great experiences with work done. Highly recommend them. Only downside is they are very busy.

Robert D.

The mechanics and staff are outstanding and the repairs done right! I won't use anyone else!

Tracy Foreman

The best part is the freindly staff. Thy helped keeping my disintegrating old Dodge truck on the road. New fuel tank, fuel pump, seals,, etc. New Wiper motor. Parking brake mechanism...I'm sure I'm forgetting things. Not only did they do great work, it almost felt like they undercharged me or something. Very highly recomended.

Kevin Newton

Great customer service that was friendly and honest. I was very pleased with the quality of work and going the extra mile with identifying and fixing a small air leak in a tire. Thank you!

Steve DeHaart

Love these guys, they have helped so much and have been very reliable in figuring out my jeep. Very grateful and very happy with my service.

Chelsea Giles

Great experience at Peterson Automotive, Another shop told me my rear main seal was leaking, I decided to drive it for as long as I could, finally I decided to call up Peterson Automotive for a quote, I was happy with a price and took it in for repairs, after dropping it off they called me to say the rear main seal was not leaking and in fact was the oil filter housing they replaced the seal saving me tons of money in the process, and even scheduled a fallow up appointment just to confirm that?s all that was leaking, I highly recommend them and the work, and will continue to use them in the future.

Cody Graham

Honest place and kind service. I'm very scared to take my car to mechanics because majority of them lie and some are just plain lazy with diagnostics. I recently had a very minor problem with my vehicle (loose bolt) ,Petersons's Auto quickly diagnosed the problem and quickly fixed the problem. They only charged for diagnostics which wasn't expensive and way cheaper than other auto mechanics. I'll be sure to take my car or truck to these guys if they require maintenance in the future.

jason petquack

Very happy with the service I received and the friendly atmosphere that they create! Very busy so make your appointment to save your spot you won't be disappointed.This is a must if your looking for a mechanic, reasonable shop rates and very honest!!!. Have visited Petersons Automotive twice in the last couple of months and both times received fast and professional service!! This is my favorite automotive shop in Vancouver, VERY TRUST WORTHY AND AFFORDABLE...

Steven Lehman

Once again 5 Star service! A small family business that took care of a stubborn Jeep that saved us a ton of stress. Highly recommend!

GHT Overland

Amazing family, they took amazing care of me even arranged me a ride home while my vehicle was in the shop. They fixed the vehicle problem promptly and had it back to me same day. Very wholesome people, caring.

Zachery Thune

Great service and they stand by their work!

Chase Meredith

Peterson Automotive has been working on my cars for several years and I have come to trust them completely. They recently did fuel injectors, ARP head bolts, HPOP, etc. on my 6.0 powerstroke and I am very happy with the results. The job had some challenges and surprises but they always put my needs first and did the work right. UPDATE - 5 Years In...... It's been 5 years since Eric rebuilt my 6.0 and it's been running flawlessly since. No problems with anything they've worked on.

Michael Randall

Professional /excellent service done on time.very friendly service writer and technicians.

Clifford Bell

Chris and staff went above and beyond to get me in same day for a brake job and fluid service. Kept me posted on their findings and came in $500 lower than repair shop across the street.

JT and Mich

I purchased a used car, for others to bang into and vandalize. It seemed to be running inconsistent, odd not indicative to that vehicle. I took it in to ask them a look over it, test drive, block test, engine inspection, I will pay no problem, i was extremely disspointed that all they did was plug into computer check codes, recommend big dollar transmission shop for easy repair. I will say this, after I picked up vehicle from Peterson automotive it ran great, all the issues seems to have disappeared. it runs great now. no more shifting problems, no more under powered issues. driving as it should, so i want to say thanks, still need to find a place to have it completely checked over. but in this day in age and area. its hit miss and hope you get lucky.

Jason Morasco

Super helpful and refreshingly HONEST mechanic returned my request for appointment call and put my mind at ease as to unnecessary 'repairs' the Dealership was telling me I needed for upwards of 3k. Will definitely bring all my business there whether my vehicle needs it or not, I know I'll get an honest answer.

Heather Ryberg-Williams

Always feel like they are checking everything thoroughly. No surprises. I trust this company.

Lynn Charneski

Amazing place and honest work

Casey Spilka

Excellent service! Great communication, quality work. I would highly recommend this shop for your automotive needs.

Mark Prine

Very friendly and honest folks. Been going here for several years. Covid had them short staffed and booked out but they?re still trying real hard

Tanner Starkey

Peterson Automotive is everything you would hope to see in an auto repair shop.Eric made it clear from the start "at the end of the day ,it is all about the car".My Mini now runs better then it ever has.Chris kept me informed every step of the way.They were extremely thorough ,checked everything,and gave me a 3 year 36 k mile warranty. It is a great feeling driving now, having that confidence everything was done right.

Lance McNamara

They fixed my car it's running great.

Arthur Miller

Most honest mechanics I've encountered. Great work. Straight forward customer service. I've used these guys for several years. Each time it's been a pleasure.

Michael Key

Great service and great prices. Quality work and won't recommend something (ie factory recommended services at a certain mileage) unless you actually need it.

Stacey Smith Family

Finding a new mechanic is always a coin toss... fortunately, we won the toss by finding Peterson Automotive! The reason the owner opened his own shop is a great story that I encourage you to learn about when you visit. ;-) One of the biggest gripes my wife and I have about any automotive shop is when they talk to my wife as if she knows nothing about cars or just ignore her and answer her questions directly to me. Peterson Automotive has never showed a sign of that. They speak to us both the same way and gladly answer questions we ask whether dumb or not. Everyone we've talked to there is friendly and helpful. Not to mention they've always done great and honest work!

Don Larsen

Reasonable prices and friendly service. I always feel welcomed when i go in there. Will be returning for other repairs to be done.

Dawn S

It's difficult to find any automotive place worth your trust. This is the only place I take my car to. Fair, honest, competitive prices, and are straight-shooters. No up-selling from them. They have only told me what I needed and offered suggestions that were helpful. They have never steered me wrong and I don't anticipate that changing.

Tony (Old Nerd Reviews)

I drive far out of my way to get my car serviced at Petersen's. They've always done exceptional, high quality work, and they're honest. And of course, great people.

Melodee

Love the customer service. They always take the extra mile to make sure things are done right. Very fair on prices. Wouldn't take my car anywhere else. Totally trust these guys.

Teresa Otteson

Used to go here for years with all my vehicles. Friendly staff and skilled mechanics.

Aleks Dzyuba

Winnebago Rialta owner you are in Luck! Peterson's Automotive I have known them for 17 plus years. If you are a Winnebago Rialta owner this is a must-go-to place. I found it difficult to find a repair shop to work on this little VW motor home. Not only are they willing but Mike seems to be an expert who has worked on them since the Eurovan chassis came out. They can even do some undercoating and body painting! It's worth the drive. Great staff.

Jimmie Cox

Highest recommendation across the board. I have a VW Eurovan Rialta and I wish that these guys were close to my home. I was traveling in WA and the check engine light came on. Found them and was so happy with the service. Mike the owner is very friendly but Ted the mechanic was amazing. He brought me in with him for the full inspection and showed and explained everything in a way I could completely understand. I'm not a mechanic but he made me feel so comfortable that they are 100% straightforward and honest. The work was excellent, right on schedule and good communication. Other people have mentioned the cost is high, I can't say because compared to California it seemed what would be expected but for me I would pay for this service. Couldn't give a better rating.

Mark Underhill

Kind and helpful

Marty M

The whole team is very friendly, efficient and professional, even for a European brand truck, reasonable and justified prices, highly recommended! All the team very friendly, efficient and professional, even for a European brand truck, reasonable and justified prices, to advise

Nicolas PC

These guys are awesome. Chris the service manager is always polite and helpful. Eric, the owner is great. They are always willing to work with you. Keep up the great work guys.

joe yeska

Did a great job on my truck. Employees were very polite and prices were very reasonable. Would definitely go back

James Weaver

Always does a great job. Honest but busy. Will always be a customer here.

Kim Lehman

These guys were the least expensive option in town. They were efficient and helpful both on the phone and in person. I will be taking my vehicles here from now on.

Nathan C

I did not end up having work done here but the owner was very personable and helpful I would recommend any of my friends to go and have their car serviced here

Todd Wheeler

My husband Joe has been going there for 15 yrs,honest,reasonable ,great guys, won't go anyplace else

Yvonne Heinser

Great people,polite, know their job and damn good at it. I recommend them to anyone.

Ram Setab

I've been bringing my car in for oil changes for years and never have a problem. Today, I had a minor complaint about the service, and in the end decided to bring it to Chris' attention. (I considered not, since it was really minor, but just wanted to bring it to his attention for the future.) He went above and beyond to remedy the complaint, and ended up bringing the business owner into the conversation, and instead of the "issue" becoming one, they really made me feel comfortable with them, and there is no doubt I will return in the future. I would *highly* recommend this auto shop.

Amy Glass

They take care of my oil changes on my vehicles. Very dependable

Brent Willett

Been coming here for 4 years now. Only people I trust to work on my cars.

Ryan Green

The staff is friendly and helpful.

Nicholas Stocker

Haven't had my car fixed yet but Russ @ Swineharts transmission gave me their phone # & they sound very nice. I don't have to worry about them ripping me off! And if you ever need your transmission fixed go to Swinehart's Russ is a great guy!

Deb Bailey

These guys helped me out with replacing my clutch. They also were understanding when the money I had set aside for the repairs were drained by a family emergency and gave me time to pay it rather than continuing to charge me for storage. The car drives better than new now! Thoroughly impressed with the expertise and technical skills of this place highly recommend to anyone needing automotive repair!

Benjamin Connery (BenJammin)

I brought my ford truck in with a severe timing chain problem, some other garages said they might accept the job but wouldn't guaranty their work. Peterson's went out of their way to accommodate my needs, fully guarantying their work, taking every step needed to get my repairs done right!

Miles Armstrong

Super honest. They do good work and don't take advantage of you.

Caleb D

Honest mechanics! Excellent doing business with.

Serge Letunovskiy

Honest and quick service at a fair price.

Jacque Wallace

Great Service

Pamela T

Great group of people! Very knowledgeable and professional. The are our fleet mechanics now. Thanks!

Ray Rauscher

Peterson is honest and trustworthy. So relieved to have found a great mechanic that we can trust!

Kathleen Green

I wouldn't bring my truck anywhere else. They are always professional and courteous and get the job done right the first time.

Anita Bingham

When my car failed the emissions test, my sister recommended I take it to Peterson's. She takes her car there and has been very satisfied with their service. I set up an appointment with Chris and took my car in. He gave me an estimate and told me when my car would be done. Overall I was completely satisfied with the service I received form Peterson's Automotive and I would definitely recommend their services to other people. Chris was very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. And I also received a follow up call regarding my satisfaction of the services. Thanks again, Chris and Peterson's Automotive for taking great care of my car! :)

Diane Herz

A pleasure to business with. Curious and up front with what needed to be done. Answer my questions with intelligent answers and not with a lot of shop talk.

Carla Frazier

I went to Peterson Automotive for a second opinion on A/C repairs as I was charged $80+ at the first place just to check it out and give me an estimate. Peterson not only gave me a more reasonable estimate but did not charge for the diagnosis. That tells me they are honest and trustworthy and will get all my business from here on.

Lillian Volden

Excellent service I can trust.

Diane Feldt

My Olds Aurora was not the first vehicle I had worked on by Peterson's staff. I also had a Nissan Pickup which they worked on a couple of times. Every time, they get the work done as quickly as possible.The prices are as reasonable as they can be . There's no nonsense either. When they tell you something needs fixing they are truthful. The owner, Eric Peterson is personally involved in the shop and stays engaged with its day today operations. That is why I trust him and his crew to work on my vehicles. They care.

Jack Rhodes

Honesty is their policy....I've been coming here for 5 yrs. What I like and appreciate is their honesty. No up selling or down right lying they just tell you how it is truthfully. Also very polite and courteous. I highly recommend them!!! I

Phyllis Nuebel

Outstanding! I limped my car in and they were able to help right away. I doubt I'll ever need to see a dealer shop again. Dan

Dan Brown

Professional, courteous and thorough. Not the cheapest but if you want work done right, this is the place.

Joe Herz

Fair Priced, Quick and Courteous. I brought my Hyundai Tucson to Peterson Automotive in October 2012. I was expecting to be without a car for a week and end up with an astronomical bill after my experience with other repair shops and dealerships. At Peterson's my car was ready the next morning at a fraction of what I expected and half their initial quote! They were even nice enough to check my VIN for any factory recalls I had missed. It turned out I had missed a very important airbag recall. I can't thank them enough. Peterson Automotive, you are awesome.
