Emily's Garage

"Emily's Garage is one of the Seattle city-approved vehicle safety inspection mechanics.  They offer ASE-certified TNC inspections, pre-buyer inspections, diagnostic services, and general car inspections.  They have three locations - Everett, Tacoma, and Burien. For the vehicle safety inspection, I didn't have to make an appointment.  It was fine to do a walk-in. When I visited Emily's Garage, there was a customer who was pretty upset with the repairs and the cost.  I was able to hear what the customer had to go through but I would not comment on that as I have limited information. From my experience of getting my vehicle inspected, I was very surprised at how quickly they were able to complete the vehicle inspection.  It was done in less than 2 minutes, and I paid over $50 for that service. For comparison, when I had my vehicle inspected at Les Schwab Tire Centers in Portland, they spent over 20 minutes to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and the cost for the inspection was only $20. Will I re-visit Emily's Garage for the vehicle inspection?  Probably not but if the state requires me to get the vehicle inspection done, I will probably have no choice as there are not that many shops that offer the ASE-certified inspection."

"I went to get my inspection done the lady drove my car and i knew she will break it so i went outside to stop her before she hit curb because my car is low now they not replacing my $300 front lip that she broke and threatening to sue me call cops and lawyer on me if i ever call them back"

"NEED A Uber, Lyft, Hop Skip Drive, or other Rideshare or Gig Vehicle Inspection. In and out fast for your inspections. Make an appointment but they will take drive up inspections on a First Come standby basis only Appointments take priority so appointments are strongly advised. Otherwise quick and easy to work with."

"I was a little nervous to come here, because I know little to nothing about cars. When I showed up, the front desk associate (Dee, I think) was kind and efficient. The mechanic who worked with me was also kind and took me into the garage to show me on my car where the issues were so that I could visualize them. He also was very specific in describing how dire my problems were (i.e. the xyz fluid doesn't need to be replaced for another 10,000 miles so you don't need to panic about it). I had to make an appointment to get my car fixed because I needed a long service. There was no pressure to schedule the new appointment at the exact moment that I picked up my car. They gave me a sheet with all the issues and the prospective prices so I could do the math and decide what I could afford. When I called, the woman at the front desk remembered me and got me scheduled for the services I chose with no problem; I got my service and everything went without a hitch. Several days later, I noticed a problem with my car related to my service, and I called Dee to tell her. She told me to bring my car in and they fixed the issue that day, free of charge. Overall, for a person as scared of mechanics as I am, this was a refreshing experience. I will continue to take my car to Emily's Garage and enjoy the kind employees who understood this can be a stressful experience for your average person."

"I don’t have an option to give 0 rating for this center. The lady at the front office has Heights of attitude and not a customer focused, rude. But was surprised to see her giggling with other customer. Seems like a racist to me . Though you don’t go to this center often, I would recommend to think twice as everyone would expect some courtesy as a customer. Better stay away if you don’t want to spoil your mood for rest of the day"
