I've been taking my Ford Ranger to Bernie's for about 12 years, both my current truck and the Ranger before it. Bernie's is honest and thorough each time. They troubleshoot, reccommend fixes, then they let me decide which fixes to authorize and which to wait on. No pressure, just quality assessments and and repairs. I live on Capitol HIll and since I retired, Bernie's is out of my way, but I continue to use them, because I trust them. It's worth the drive.
Ready and Running – Have used Bernie's on two occasions, and both were great experiences. The scheduling and actual service is prompt. They fix only what has to be fixed, guarantee thier work, and have it out in record time. The staff there are polite, personable, and professional. Would recommend this to both DIYers and those who wouldn't know a wrench from a screwdriver!
F-A-N-TASTIC!! – I have been a returning Bernie's customer for about 2yrs now. Every time I step foot into the shop, I am greeted with a smile and genuine interest in why I am stopping by. Patrick is always helpful and thorough in the assessment and explanation of the ailments of my vehicle. Not being very auto-savvy, I never feel pressured or taken advantage of when it comes to the repairs &/or maintenance of my truck. I will be a life-long customer of Bernie's and will continue to recommend Bernie's to my friends, family, ... read more

Thank you Abasure1583, for taking the time and letting us know we are doing our job correctly. I will pass this on to Patrick and the boys, they will be happy to hear that they did it right!! Your business is sincerely appreciated :)
QUALITY and EXCELLENCE in WORK and SERVICE – I am a relatively new customer to Bernies having been recommended to this second generation automotive repair shop by a second generation customer about five months ago. How often do you feel good about a car repair bill? Like me, probably not often (if ever). But ... I can honestly say I feel good about the service bills I receive when I pick up my car at Bernies. QUALITY customer service is what Bernies is all about. Not only have they done excellent service on our family's cars... read more

Hi Mark, Thank you for all the positive feedback!! I have shared the review with the whole team and they appreciated sincerely as well. It's always nice to hear that we are doing our job. And you're right, our 3 year/36,000 mile warranty is better than everybody else's because we don't cut corners or use generic parts but STILL try to be competitive with our pricing. Our main goal is to take care of our customers and fix their vehicle right the first time so it will last!! Thank you again for taking the time and notifying us... read more

Great service by Patrick at Bernie's – Thanks to Patrick for taking the time to thoroughly explain the service I needed for my car. I am new to the area and needed to find a trustworthy auto shop. The price was fair, Patrick was honest, and I love the warranty. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

Hi Cottonrc, Improving our customer service is something we work on everyday and it is very nice to hear it's paying off. I will share this review with Patrick, I know it will make him happy that you are happy. And yes, "the warranty"...3 year/36,000 mile nationwide warranty IS hard to beat!!! ;) Thank you for taking the time to let us know we are doing a good job. Troy (owner)
Excellent staff, from all angles – I've had the opportunity to be a customer at Bernie's Automotive, though that's not how my relationship with them started. I work in a related business, at Hertz Rent--a-car in Ballard. I've had the opportunity to share customers with Bernie's. I've always been impressed with the way customers talk about their experiences at there. They say they get great work at a fair price, and excellent treatment from Patrick and Will. I have worked with many auto shops in the area and am always impress... read more

Watch out! They will rip you off – DO NOT take your car here. These guys will rip you off while smiling at you. Yes, it is true that they are very nice to you, they take the time to explain everything they do, and they have a shuttle service that will take you wherever you need to go so long as you let them know ahead of time. However, their prices are completely out of control. I took my car in because my oil pressure light was low. After they diagnosed and fixed the problem, it turned out to be a cracked oil filter cap.
