Ev Discount Auto Repair

I started bringing my car to Mike about 8 years ago (at his prior location) when my 1994 Mustang had an engine miss-​fire problem. «Honest Mike» told me I just needed new spark plug wires, a new distributor cap and a good tune up. He could have easily fooled me by telling me I had a more complicated problem (like coils needing replacement, etc) but just fixed what was really wrong and charged me a fair price for the tune-​up.
He just replaced (12÷15÷14) my rear brake pads and rotor on my 1999 Lexus ES300. I told him my rear brake pads probably need to be replaced again since it’s been 130k miles since the last replacement and I’m hearing grinding noises. He showed me the rotor just to make sure I knew he wasn’t cheating me and with both the rotor and pads replaced, he ended up being cheaper than Les Schwab’s brake job service that essentially did the same thing.
In the past, Mike also performed coil replacements on my Lexus (they failed at different times). He never suggested I replace them all (I asked) since it’s an old car and just because a couple fail doesn’t mean the others will fail soon. He also replaced my timing belt and water pump (at 150k miles). My Lexus has 211k miles on it and still runs fine.
I also took my Acura MDX there for minor repairs. One time, the back wiper blade got torn off and needed to be re-​fastened to a new wiper motor. He didn’t fasten the blade quite right the first time but was very accommodating in doing it right the second time (of course at no charge). It’s been a couple of years since the repair and all is still fine.
I’m writing this review because I think Mike needs the business. He’s an honest mechanic who charges a fair price. Because he’s an older Korean guy with a heavy accent and a hole-​in-​the-​wall garage, I don’t think people trust him. He’s very sincere and hardworking and I’d hate to see him go out-​of-​business. It’s hard finding a competent, honest auto mechanic these days.
