Scotty’s Electric Motor Repair

I live in the Seattle area and bring all of my motors here. If I was a truly smart man I would tell everyone to stay away so they wouldn’t be busier, but these guys are awesome! Fast, reliable, and friendly.

I know very little about motors and had a sander that I needed the direction reversed on. After reading the reviews on Scotty’s I dropped by a couple of days ago to ask his advice and see if I could afford to have the work done. He fixed the problem in about two minutes and didn’t bother to charge me anything. He also advised me on what kind of motors to use for other sander applications I need. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He could have easily squeezed bucks out of me, but instead made me want to bring all my business to him. That’s how a professional operates!

I dropped into Scotty’s yesterday and found an old school family business. I brought in a commercial espresso grinder that’s nearly new but isn’t developing enough torque, so it stalls if there are partly ground beans left in the cutting burrs. Dick and Curtis greeted me, and Dick spent 15 minutes testing the grinder. He wanted to see if doubling up capacitors or changing out the one I had would increase torque. No luck with that. He inspected the motor and saw it doesn’t have a belt drive. That eliminates another torque option. So he realized the difficulty was probably because the motor was originally designed for European voltage. Increasing torque would require rewinding the motor. That would have been expensive. So after taking his time to thoroughly assess my situation with about half a dozen different capacitors, I asked Dick what I owed him. He said he didn’t want to waste my money, and there was no charge. This was said in a friendly way. He was really on my side. Luckily his shop is one driveway away from Compass Coffee’s café and roasting shop. Like his business, they’re the best in the county. So I went over there and bought him some delicious fresh roasted coffee beans. I also told him I would write this review. It made my day to find two craftsmen who are trustworthy and do business the old fashioned way.

You cannot do better than dealing with this shop. Honest and hardworking folks just like the way it used to be. Dick and his Son Curtis are the salt of the earth. They will tell you the truth upfront without any BS. If they can make a repair they do so promptly and correctly. If they need to get you a part they will do so promptly and quickly. You will leave this shop knowing you will return again someday if necessary. You will also tell all your friends of this place and feel good doing so. i have had many dealings with this place through the years and actually look forward to going there because i know i will be dealt with fairly. They have never ever disappointed me no matter the challenge, big or small. You will be treated with respect and appreciation by 2 men that definately know what they’re doing. They are the best around and i hope they’ll be around for a long time to come because Clark County needs businesses like this one.

This Place is a great little business. I first went about a year ago needing a hot tub pump motor. If you have ever shopped for one of these, it can be a pain.
The guy tested my old motor and and verified it was faulty. He didn’t have any on the shelf, but said they should have more in a week.
I called back a week later and they actually had the one I needed for a good deal. Which I always like.
Yesterday I stopped in for a capacitor for my old compressor, They didn’t have a new one, but asked if I wanted a free used one.
Hell yes I do. What is it my birthday.
This is a good old style shop, helping the people who come in. They have my business.
