FAME Automotive

I bought a used 2003 Audi A4 wagon about a year ago and this is the only place I will take my car. I am incredibly impressed with FAME’s attention to detail and customer service. I feel very well taken care of. We bring our Porsche and VW Euro van here too. Love FAME!

These guys are the real deal. They seem to do lots of German stuff, did an extensive amount of work on my BMW 530i, and were so diligent on the details around diagnosing the root problem — I couldn’t help but trust them with my baby. Car runs better than ever before because of Bryan and the team at FAME Automotive.

Great guys. I take my 1993 BWM 325i for service/​repair and have been very happy with their quality of work and customer service. They are very knowledgeable (based on how they explain the issues to me :)) and costs are usually reasonable.

Visited Marco at Dyno Authority after winning some time on the dyno at a car show. I have to say I was impressed!!! I got great numbers out of my car and Marco made me feel important. Very satisfying experience here.

Over priced and tries to upsell everything. I took my 560SL there for several years and wasn’t impressed.
Problems I experienced were always dealt with the most expensive way. I didn’t want to go the cheap route, but sometimes it’s worth an trying a lesser expensive solution before jumping to the costly.
I have moved on.

I was lucky enough to buy a 1985 Mercedes 300SD from a friend that was in really great condition. When we moved it over here to Western Washington I found out my old mechanic didn’t really work on diesels. They recommended I go to Fame and I couldn’t be happier.
I’ve been taking the car there for a little over a year now, and with an older car like I have that means a lot of little repairs. They always list what I could repair and do a great job explaining what *really* needs to get done without pressuring me to get stuff fixed. They had repaired the door straps on both of my back doors and when one of the straps started feeling wonky again they made it right.
When you go there you get a rewards card that earns you savings and also gets you roadside assistance and free towing to their shop if you break down. I work so close by that I haven’t used it yet but they also offer a free shuttle if you are within 5 miles.

Brad Bean is the owner, and is an honest, decent guy. He put a rebuilt transmission in my 560SL, and when it started to go bad he was extremely diligent in helping work with the rebuilder to make it right. It took a long time but is fixed the right way. A good experience overall and I’d recommend him for sure.

FAME has worked on my cars since 1989 and I trust them completely. I had a problem with my car in 1989 that no one else could diagnose (at least 3 other shops tried) and FAME figured it out and fixed it. Since then they have worked on my other cars, 2 Volvos and 1 BMW. They are knowledgeable, use the most appropriate products and parts for your needs, easy to work with, flexible in scheduling, and are really good at explaining what they are doing.
My 1986 Volvo has over 250,000 miles on it and is still running, and my other cars have clocked 150,000 and 80,000 miles to date and run like new. I don’t live anywhere near their shop, having to pick up and drop off from a half hour away, and wouldn’t think of switching to another service shop. I feel like these guys have got my back.
