Always highly recommend F&F Auto, but they are in Bothell.
I like them for two reasons:
1) They have never tried to cheat me and they stand behind their work. If I ask them to do the brakes, that's all they do. I've been to shops that try to add on other stuff just to make a sale. If they happen to discover an emergency they will tell you but they won't go looking unless you ask them, saving you money.
2) Because I do most of my own work I sometimes take parts of cars to them to do things I don't have time or tools for. They are more than happy to do this and are willing to talk me through (advise) how to fix the problem myself.
