Mike’s Auto & Electric

Best mechanic in olympia, lacey and Tumwater. He is the only person my family and I will go to. My family will drive from tacoma, Portland and Seattle to have Mike check thier cars out if they need them looked at. I’ve been referring people there since the first day they opened. Mike, Travis and Karen are great people and it’s awesome that it’s a family business that does what they can to help people and not tell you things need to be repaired when it isn’t needed like most other mechanics seem to do. Thank you to Mike, Travis and Karen for all they have done for my family, friends and myself. They are amazing!

I went to Mike because my car battery literally died completely when I turned it off, after I drove all the way to Tacoma a couple of weeks ago. I got a jump to get home, and without checking, jumped it again in the morning to get into Mike’s. I found him on Unilocal when looking for auto electric service nearby — you need nearby when you don’t know if you are going to make it or not OR have a car to get home!
I called first, but arrived on my schedule, which was lunch time. Mike immediately took in the car, tested the battery and alternator & pronounced both good. Then he cleaned the connections to the battery. Car has worked fine ever since.
I was so impressed with him, his efficiency, and his demeanor that I took the car back for service this week. Excellent job, he went over the whole car to assess if I need any major future repairs – only one, performed the routine maintenance, and the price was very reasonable. I had my regular mechanic give me a list of 100K service that my car needed; it was a page long.
He appears to be a good mechanic and an honest man. I plan to change repair places and return again.

Gotta give a shot out to Mike. It took a little longer than expected, but I was very impressed with Mike’s assessment of my daughter’s car wiring issues. He showed me where the issues were stemming from, corrected them, and did not overcharge me. Was so grateful for his expertise and assistance. Will gladly refer people and def be returning. His labor per hour is cheaper than most.

These guys are awesome!!! They did exactly what they said they where going to do!!! My Lincoln runs like a champ right know! I would absolutely recommend this company if your looking for auto repair!

I have used Mike’s several times for my 2001 TDI Jetta in the last two years. All my experiences have been good. Mike is honest and will explain what is going on with your car. Skilled mechanic and reasonably priced. I will use him again.

One of the scariest things to me has been to have a vehicle electrical problem diagnosed. Mike has set my fears aside. He really knows his business… and his limitations. I have taken 5 different cars to Mikes and there have been a couple of times where he gave me advise as to where I needed to take my car. The other times, he’s fixed them. He’s not the cheapest, but he’s very honest and fair. A great value.

After a terrible incident with the dealership of our vehicle, which cost us $ 1800 to get a broken bolt out of our engine (their fault), I went looking for someone trustworthy to work on our vehicles. I asked my brother in law who is the tire center manager at Costco, and he recommended Mike’s. That was a few years ago, and my wife and I have been taking our vehicles to him ever since. He’s honest, fast, very fair priced, and can do just about anything — we’ve even taken our motorhome to him. The only problem with this guy is that I don’t know what I’m going to do when he retires! Seriously, every time I go in there, you can tell everyone who deals with Mike trusts him completely. I am one of those people as well. I am not one to often write Unilocal reviews, but when I think someone really deserves it, I do. Mike is one of those «really deserves it» kind of guys.

I got referred to Mike by a local mechanic friend who wasn’t able to diagnose my electrical problem. At first look Mike found out that my computer was fried and I needed to order one at almost double the price from back east cause it was the only one he could find. I sadly told him to go for it knowing it was going to make the total repair probably $ 1,200. He didn’t order it, instead went through everything again and found the real problem and he didn’t need the computer at all…$ 500 bucks later my Jeep is back running great. So glad Mike didn’t settle so quickly on spending my money when he didn’t need to!

My Husband and I love this place. Mike is honest and great to work with. He does a great job explaining things to me so i can turn around and relay the message to my husband. His work is always excellent. His quotes for the work are very accurate and we wont take our cars anywhere else.
We love this place.

I just have to say that Mike is one of the best mechanics I know of in town. I have gone to Mike 2 times because I was referred by a good friend and both times he diagnosed the problem on the spot for free. (one of those times was just minutes after he had closed)
He sent me somewhere else because it would be cheaper in those particular instances.
I will always recommend Mike’s without hesitation.

Last few trips didn’t pan out well
