R & L Auto Repair

I had a really good experience here! My car kept stalling for several days, and finally I figured I had to get it looked at! So, R & L was recommended to me by a co-​worker (I work just up the street from R & L). I called them that morning, and they were able to fit me in the same day, and get my car back to me by the end of my work day. Everyone there was very friendly and informative. I felt that the price was reasonable, and the location was so convenient for me, I really couldn’t have been happier!

Best auto repair shop in Arlington.
I work on my own cars and like to do as much repair work myself as possible. With my work schedule I sometimes find myself unable to squeeze in repairs at home. I first went to R&L 6 years ago, brought a F250 in for a brake job. They had it done before they promised, and they only replaced the front pads– said the back were okay. Any other shop would have done all four regardless.
Since then I have had them service my company trucks, and I have referred co-​workers and friends there. Probably 20 or so services, and have never had a bad experience.
Not sure what the deal was with the other reviewer– I love these guys and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
The only downside is they are fairly small and can get busy– coming in on short notice can be difficult when they are slammed, but they always do their best to get you in.

I brought my car here, convenience right down the street, for a squeaky belt. One of the employees, a male, came out to have a look. He immediately pointed at the tensioner and said look, see it’s out of place. I asked if they could fix it, he acted like he didn’t want my business with his condescending attitude. I’ll tell you, I’ve worked on cars since before this dude was born, but due to a divorce and losing my tools, I no longer have the resource to repair my own cars. He told me he didn’t think he could get the part, another indicator he wanted me outa the way. With the advent of the internet, there is no way in hell that you can’t find a part for any car nowa days. I gave him another chance and asked if I could get the part can they put it in, he mumbled through a mouth full of food that yea for about 160.00. I’d had enough by now and relied on a referral to Ask Jim Auto Repair at Smokey Point. Read my review for him, he puts this putts to shame. So to summarize, if you want someone working on your vehicle with that type of attitude then go for it, it’s not for me, believe me take your car to Jim’s, you’ll not be disappointed.

Hey, this is a teriffic shop. Honest and affordable service. Worked on my car and my son’s car and did what needed to be done and was affordable! Yeah! It’s nice to know a honest repair shop. Though I live in Snohomish it was worth the travel up to Arlington to have work done on my car.
