GN Northwest

Dan Miller and the guys at GN Northwest are awesome. Trustworthy, kind, professional and fair. They are also highly skilled mechanics with lots of experience. I have done business with Dan for years and never been disappointed. I’m glad to have been referred to Dan and GN Northwest.

I am new to the area and when calling around, Dan was able to give me the quickest, most honest, and cheapest quote. So I dropped my car off and after less then an hour, Dan called and said it wasn’t my alternator and he only had to reset my electrical system and my car was able to start! So he said he would keep my car and keep rechecking and restarting it and drive it around a couple times to make sure it was ok before he gave it back to me. He was very thorough. Even did my oil change and fixed everything else that set off my warning lights on the dash. But he only charged for an hour’s work and my car is running perfectly! Thanks to Dan! He is so professional, honest, quick, reliable, and charged even less than others in the area. So glad I found this place. :)

Went to Dan again to service a problem with my car, and once again very satisfied with his service. Very dependable and will not return your vehicle until the service provided is at its optimal. Very affordable prices compared to the dealership without a doubt. I recommend him to any individual. His service is beyond my expectation. He is the only mechanic I trust with my vehicles.

Extremely friendly, professional, great prices and more than thorough. I won’t take my truck anywhere else.

Nice people, cute dog, and they fixed a surging idle on my civic that had every other mechanic stumped. And at a beyond fair price. Couldn’t be happier. This was my first visit. Definitely coming back.

These guys are just fantastic. They took what could have been a really bad situation and made it into a reason I’ll always be going back to Dan and his crew. Long story short, brought my car in to troubleshoot some vibration in my Honda Civic and decided on fixing a bad bearing that was creating some noise. Dan was extremely friends, easy to work with and pretty fast getting it repaired. Unfortunately, crap happens, and the brand new bearing failed as soon as I drove it off the lot. Brought it back to the shop and I know Dan put in a lot of extra hours to get my pain in the butt car back on the road again. He even took me back to my home in his personal car when I dropped it off the second time. The next day when I picked the car up he had also replace the windshield wipers for me and de-​fogged the headlamps as a «sorry for the trouble». Again, despite a crappy situation where the repair failed, Dan took full ownership of the problem and fixed it without a single hesitation. Oh and their shop mascot, Bre, is a pretty awesome dog that will greet you the moment you get out of your car.

Dan and team did an outstanding job on completing the 60k routine maintenance on my Lexus RX-​350. His quote was less than half the dealership rate for the same service, and the actual bill was 10% less than the quote! Communications were good and they even dropped me off at my nearby job. I brought up a noise I was hearing in the steering column. They couldn’t hear it as it didn’t happen at the shop (always the case, right?) but Dan investigated online looking for service bulletins which he printed out for me. These guys clearly know what they’re doing, as they also do a lot of high end car modifications for maxing horsepower on muscle cars. I didn’t need that, but their honesty and professionalism are top drawer.

We had a great experience at GN Northwest. I brought my Volvo S60 in and they serviced it for ¼ of what Volvo was going to charge me. They were very nice, got my car back in less time than promised and the shop was very clean. Plus, they have a shop dog who is freaking adorable. I’ll come back just to pet that pup!
Highly recommend this place!

Dan and his friendly crew got my ride running again for half the price Klein Honda nearby would have charged. 100% would recommend!

Dan and his guys do very diligent work on our cars. Our second time there and the service was by far the best yet! Very satisfied! I recommend GN Northwest to anyone who needing work done on their vehicles. And his prices… what a steal! Thanks Dan! My wife and I are fans of your work, that’s why we brought my sister in law in for maintenance on her Mercedes today. We are loyal customers.

I am so grateful to have found GN Northwest! They do a fantastic job and really explain what needs to be done and why. I’ve even had them show me the old part to help me understand what was wrong with my car. Even though I drive a very much less than fancy car, they never made me feel like I wasn’t worth their time and energy. They let me know if something needs to be done, but it’s never a high pressure situation. I’ve been thrilled with what they charge as well Everyone was super friendly, and helpful. I absolutely recommend GN Northwest!

The guys down a GN Northwest have been excellent with my car maintenance needs. I feel lucky to have a shop with such extensive knowledge and experience dealing with high performance cars in my area.
I will be relying on GN Northwest for all my future needs.

I just have to say that Dan at GN Northwest is an AUTO GOD! I have taken several of my cars to him in the past and when I was living in the Lake City Way area I had taken my car to 3 different places to have my breaks looked at becuase I was having problems and they all said my break were fine. Then when I moved back to Mukilteo and brought my car to Dan and finally I had answers. He was able to fix the problem right away. Now even if I move to another state I might be tempted to just bring my car back to him. His prices are great and his service is fantastic. Thanks Dan the Man! YOU ROCK!

Driving down from Vancouver, BC to Portland, I stopped to get gas in Everett and couldn’t restart my car. Not knowing anyone in the area, I looked on Unilocal for nearby auto shops. GN Northwest had good reviews, so I called them and Dan came down the road to where I was stranded to do a quick diagnosis. He saw the problem right away, a loose wire which he reattached and crimped so it wouldn’t come loose again. No charge! What a decent, honest man! As someone who doesn’t know a whole lot about cars, it is so refreshing to find this quality in a mechanic! I cannot recommend GN Northwest highly enough!

The guys at GN Northwest really know what they are doing. It is increasingly rare to find this combination of honesty, knowledge, and professionalism.
As others have said, they don’t just specialize in creating impressive Buicks. I took my Nissan 350Z in and had GN add a supercharger, big brakes, upgraded suspension, wider wheels/​tires, etc… The list goes on, it was quite a bit of work. They did an amazing job, and have continued to offer fantastic support in the 2+ years since the initial work.
You don’t have to think about this one. Take your vehicles to GN Northwest, Dan and the crew will take care of you.

We have been using Dan’s services since 2006 and keep coming back for more. As everyone knows, finding a good and trustworthy mechanic is not easy but we’ve hit a gold mine with this one. We always trust that he won’t nickel and dime us and will do a thorough and quality job. I couldn’t be more grateful to have him available! You won’t be disappointed.

I am not great with car problems — in fact, I’m pretty terrible with them (case in point, the other reviewer mentions Dan is good with American cars — I have no idea if my car is American. I do know that it is white). I’m usually the one to have to make embarrassing noises in order to tell anyone what’s going on with my car. I always worry that this lack of knowledge will result in my car turning to a pile of smoking rubble someday during a commute, but since I found Dan, I no longer have these worries. Dan is on top of it! Seriously, I wouldn’t even consider going to anyone else. If you’re looking for an excellent mechanic and a great guy, look no further.

Dan was very professional and very experienced in performance modifications. They built their own race cars, so he knows what he is doing. I went in for diagnosing a leak on my turbocharged volvo and he used a smoke machine to quickly identify the problems. Highly recommended for people who want to have their work done by somebody who knows performance modifications very well.

This used to be Speedway Automotive on Beverly Park Rd. in Mukilteo.
I’ve been taking my cars to Dan since 2005. I would not consider taking them anywhere else. His shop is not convenient to my house, but no matter. When you find a good honest mechanic, you get there! His new shop should be convenient for most people, as it is right off Evergreen Way not far from Home Depot.
I don’t race cars or drive performance cars. He does, but he is very happy to fix my old vehicles. He doesn’t look down on them just because they aren’t anything special as far as cars go (hey, I love you cars, but let’s be real).
He’s really more of an American car guy, but will work on other cars or at least help you figure out what’s wrong.
