Ty’s Auto Repair & Service

He’s an awesome mechanic. Won’t take advantage of females. Always a cheap price and quick service.

Ty and his wife did a great job on my car. He installed suspension parts and did only the work we agreed upon. He could have replaced more or charged me more but didn’t. That says a lot about Ty. The cost of the repair was much lower than I expected.
The only negative is communication. Ty speaks broken English and his wife is somewhat better. They seem like good people and are eager to please. Just repeat the details and price clearly and you should do fine.

I bought my car new over 8 years ago and haven’t ever taken it anywhere except Ty’s for anything other than oil changes. granted, I’ve had very little in the way of major work done.
there has been at least one occasion when I could have been completely hosed on charges (I had a loose electrical connection that had to be found to be fixed), and the work was done quickly and cheaply.
in my experience, Ty is very fast, inexpensive, and easy to work with. the only downside to any experience I’ve had is that sometimes there are communication issues with the lady who runs the counter. she is often extremely busy and doesn’t always write everything down when she should, if she answers the phone when she’s away from the desk. otherwise, their place is fantastic and I still give them 5 stars, and recommend them highly.

i completely agree with Natan C, was thrilled to come here with all the great reviews, and referral. however, dealing with wife up front i was so put off and humiliated! here’s the facts; after being referred from my mechanic, who was out of town, and calling to inquire about types of payment i let her know I’d be paying with my boyfriend’s credit card, which she said was fine and requested i bring; photo of my boyfriend, photo of his id, and signed consent from him. i showed up with more than that; photo of my guy holding id AND brought his id with me, along with consent to use his card and credit card. she saw the photo of my boyfriend, and ran card with no issues. i was about to leave when i saw she had our card number written down on my paper work in a pile with other receipts unsecured and no safe; being a victim of identity fraud i requested she black out all but last 4 numbers due to privacy, that’s when it went down hill and i was accused of being a thief, in so many words. she showed me another’s receipt which showed a fraudulent transaction, their name, address, etc. i explained that I am in the health care field and follow hipaa, this type of information is not to be unsecured, she insisted that she’s the only one that sees this, this after repeating the card number several times to the bank she was calling to make sure i wasn’t a thief, in front of a handful of customers. (she called bank to make sure this is a legal transaction). i was humiliated to say the least! she threatened to void transaction and keep my car. she wanted to talk with my boyfriend, who was working and doesn’t always pick up calls, as he works with clients, which i explained. after the multitude of text messages to him and frantic calls he called me. she was on the phone with bank and refused to speak with him, he suggested i call the police, really, we’re at this point? she actually encouraged me to call police; i don’t have enough time in my day to deal with this, nor waste my and others money, i already missed a day of work. my boyfriend ended up calling back on my phone, again, and speaking with her; she double checked the telephone number he had put on the consent matched the number calling my cell, another humiliating moment. at one point she told me, since overhearing my convo worth my boyfriend earlier, that there was over 1k on his card, that i go across the street to get cash, yet she didn’t have ability to void transacting and neither did her merchant banker, since it was a legit transaction. i refused to pay her twice. after she received my boyfriend’s text with another consent, she requested again he take a photo with his face next to his id, which i had. after my car was blocked in and got the «free to go pass» i left, shaking with anger… if it wasn’t for her I’d be back to drop another 500 on my brakes and continue with regular maintenance, however, i won’t subject myself to such ridicule and humiliation, as a loyal, paying customer avoid this place by all means necessary. the west Seattle blog and bbb have been contacted. i gave one star due to her sweet husband and great work. come with cash if you want to bring your business here.

I was referred to this shop, I saw the reviews .some good some bad but because I was referred I decided to give them a try. I had some noise coming from my front end and I had a feeling it was either my brakes or possibly a cv joint. I make an appt for 9am, I drop off my car and ask them if they could let me know what’s wrong with it and call me before they do anything. The mechanic was very nice. After two hours I call and a lady answers who says she will ask the mechanic and call me back. I wait another 40 min and call again. This time she is apparently on her cell ph and tells me she forgot to ask mechanic and is picking up her child and will call me back. Another hour later I decided to walk to the shop to investigate. Low and behold there is my vehicle and they haven’t even looked at it yet. Needless to say I took the keys and left. The next day I bring my car in to try again, this time leaving for the whole day. Again I say CALL ME before doing anything. After the entire day passed with no call I decide to call them. The lady answers again and says my truck is ready and fixed. some bolts were just loose. I said oh great then she immediately says, «how you gonna pay»? LOL really I thought. so I entertain this to see how much tightening 4 bolts costs these days and she says $ 75! I said that’s ridiculous, and she replied with most places charge $ 150 and would lie to me about the problem. ok? So I go to pick up my car and I say I’m not happy with the charges so she says she will loosen up the bolts to my brakes not charge me and I can go. Can we say law suit??? I said sure then she said just pay what you think it’s worth. I could list a multitude of shops that check breaks for free. If ur looking for a mechanic the lady here wears the pants, the real mechanic seems like a very nice guy but be prepared cause from the reviews this is really typical.

Ty’s Auto Shop is definately a diamond in the rough! I must say that upon discovering this place I have saved 100’s literally. If you want a safe mechanic, come to Ty’s. No gimmicks, tricks, or lies… sheer honesty and DEALS. My tip to you auto owners out there is, get your second opinion from TY. Bring your quote in hand and they will save you!

I have been a regular customer at Ty’s auto repair for almost twenty years.
Ty is an honest and reliable mechanic, and I have the utmost trust in his recommendations. I feel very lucky to have his shop nearby. For quality auto repair and maintenance at a fair price, go to Ty’s.

Ty’s is the best auto repair experience I have ever had. They are fast, efficient, so incredibly affordable, honest, and direct. We moved out of West Seattle, but we still get our car fixed here because, basically, I don’t want to pay a bunch of money for the same services or get scammed and manipulated on top of it!

I LOVE these guys! They have saved me a lot of money over their competition. They are fair, and have even charged me less than their quoted price. Very honest, very hardworking. I don’t think a mechanic like this is easy to come by anymore.

If you are in need of a great mechanic in West Seattle, look no further than Ty. He does a great job and his prices are better than anyone else. He will try to save you money if he can, that is what I love about him and his shop. He is one of the few honest mechanics that is why he is always busy.
He always takes such great care of my Geo tracker, I don’t trust to take her anywhere else. He also works on my other cars, minor work to major work, he gets the job done. Give him a try if you are in need of auto work, you will not be disappointed.

Hubby brought his car to Ty’s today for an oil change and they did an excellent job. Good prices! Will use them again.
