M & W Auto Sales & Rentals Inc

Had to return our first rental vehicle due to the noises it was emitting. I was told by Wendy that all their older rental cars made «special sounds.» Pretty expensive considering the quality of their fleet.

Rented a small Chevy for the day and enjoyed every minute of cruising around San Juan Island. We headed out to Cattle Point and South Beach and explored the area. Visited almost all of the fun stops and cruised all over Friday Harbor. Wendy was more than helpful and renting was easy. She even offered a nice cushion for my 84 year old Mother to sit on so she could see the sights. I filled the car up at the end of the day and return was easy. She even offered me a ride back to my hotel but I was right across the street. Thank you for such a nice experience. Well worth the $ 60 to have the freedoms to go where ever you want to go and stay as long as you feel like staying!

A little pricey, but welcome to San Juan Island. Paid $ 60 for a teeny little Chevy. Requested automatic, and the transmission was literally the only automatic thing on the car, haha! Had to keep leaning over to unlock the door for my husband (haven’t had to do that in a long time!) and the windows had cranks.
Car did its job, and I’m very glad we had the freedom of having our own car on the island. Staff seemed a little all over the place — guy renting the car was trying to handle three customers at once when it would’ve been easier to do one at a time and keep people moving.
We were able to return after hours on Sunday which was great — we were able to catch one more sunset at Lime Kiln and then drop off the car! Close to Friday Harbor, so we were able to walk back to the hotel in just a few minutes.
Free shuttle from the harbor was nice too!

We got a Ford Focus in 15 minutes time and were off zipping around the island in no time. What was amazing was after we dropped off the car and started walking down Spring by the Wells Fargo and up pulled the owner with a jacket we left in the back seat. If that isn’t small town island good people I don’t know what is

They’ve got you. There are no other car rental companies on the island. If you’re island hopping, perhaps you may want to get a car on another island. We had to pay $ 60/​day for a rusty worn out 2006 Caprice. They didn’t even bother to wash it before we picked it up. The owner said this way we would fit in with the locals.

I don’t know the car was ok. when I walked in the clerk was having a discussion with a previous customer about how much gas she had to put in.
here’s a tip wherever you rent always check the gas and the milage before you leave. M&W doesn’t bother to check out going miles and is adamant about returning the car full, but didn’t seem the least concerned when I pointed out that according to my calculations I had gotten only 11 Miles/​gallon on a subcompact car.
buyer beware! Expensive perhaps Usury but that might be what you get when you’re on an island. Shop around!

AVOID IF POSSIBLE, employees tell different stories, owner charges what they think they deserve.

I had been trying to sell my car for a few months without success. A recent family emergency necessitated I get the vehicle moved quickly. I met with Wendy at M & W and worked with her to nail down a price for my car. Wendy was knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful in putting the deal together. My vehicle did need some repairs, and this was factored into the final price offered. I very much appreciated her fair offer and agreed to sell her the car.
Imagine my surprise, when a couple of weeks later I get a call from Wendy and she states she has a check for me. Check? She had already paid me in full for the car. I went down to see her, and she explained she had recently sold the car I had sold her. The new buyer was not interested in paying for the repairs the car still needed, and bought the vehicle as is. Wendy indicated that as she had negotiated the price she paid me based on her out of pocket costs to repair the vehicle. As she never needed to repair the vehicle, she offered me an additional 10% premium over our original agreed sell price. I have dealt with hundreds of businesses over the years. Never once has an business owner called me back and said «I’d like to give you some extra money.»
I was left absolutely speechless by this kind, and honest gesture.
I would highly recommend you speak to Wendy and her team if you are in the market for a vehicle.

If you decide you need a car on this island that is 26 miles from end to end, these folks are the place to go. Everyone knows them; they are friendly + they offered to deliver the car to us. What more do you want?
The cars are not fresh off the assembly line with 0 miles, but that is completely OK in this environment.
I noted the shop had lots of car stereo bits. Also if you bond with the car they will totally sell it to you. Drive it on the ferry and go!
