I have been dealing with Ron and Tracey for decades. Their work is always the best and super nice to visit with them. They have VERY fair prices and the best quality of work. Upon my visit last week, I learned of the loss of their (and mine) beloved Maggie. Sometimes We would stop by just for Hugs from Maggie and play with her. She will be missed. Mr. H.

Long, but important REVIEW ***Read Me*** before going! On Tuesday at about 4pm, I called “Federal Way Automotive Radiator” and spoke with a woman I believed to be Tracy. I asked if I brought in my radiator (out of the car) if they were able to pressure test it. She stated, yes absolutely, but Kevin (I believe was the name) had left for the day and she asked if I could come in on Wednesday. I said yes and asked what time he was off and she stated 5pm. I told her I would be there close to 4pm on Wednesday as possible with traffic and all. On Wednesday I needed to leave work early in order to make it there on time, leaving enough time for them to test it. When I arrived at the shop, Tracy remembered my call and began to escort me to the shop to speak with the person that was going to test it. When we exited the building, she must have not seen this persons vehicle, because she stated “Oh, looks as if he has left”. She was very nice and apologetic, I was slightly upset since I had to leave work early to make it there and she was aware I was coming from the call the day before, but it is, what it is, at that point. She apologized again and asked if I could come back tomorrow at the same time. I said yes, as I really needed this repaired ASAP. On Thursday, I once again left work early, un-paid time, to make it to their shop on time. My travel distance is about 30 miles during rush hour traffic which makes judging commute time tricky. About half way I decided to call to make sure the guy was there this time before driving another 10 miles past my house to their shop. A male (unknown name) answered the phone. I then described what had happened the day before and stated “I was calling to make sure he was there before coming all the way”. He said actually that guy has gone home for the day. I said, “WOW, So you guys must not want my business then”. He said, “really dude”. I said “Yeah, really,… I took off work early twice to come have work done”. He then began to tell me something about the employees are paid by job and if there is no work they don’t have them sit there all day. (Which I understand! BUT what about my appointment TWICE… is that not work for him to do.) Then after his statement about can’t sit there all day, he tells me, “You Know, why don’t you call Performance Radiator up the street, they should be able to help you”. Now exactly what kind of business refers paying customers to their competition??? Why was my appointment handled this way, twice, by supposable professionals. I mean after all they do advertize themselves as “Full Service Radiator Shop - Special Project Capabilities Clean/Test/Repair/Rebuild/Recore/Plastic-Aluminum Radiator Repair/New Radiators Available” directly on their website. Apparently these services are only available when it’s convenient for them. And if this is the mentality of the people working there, I wouldn’t let them touch a lug nut on my car because this is case and proof they don’t care about customers or their customers’ time and vehicle repair needs! I am affiliated with Pacific Raceways and all the local hotrod shops (as they claim to be as well) so if this is the service they give to fellow hot-rodder’s, imagine what the John Doe would get??

This is the most standup business I have ever had the pleasure of working with, they are honest and fair and take very excellent care of their customers, they make you feel more like family than a customer. We have been taking our vehicles to them for 3 years and will always take our vehicles there for all work that needs to be done. I highly recommend this company to everyone. Great job guys!

Can't say enough good things about Federal Way Automotive and Radiator without running out of room to post. Their service manager, Roger, is not only very knowledgeable but has an extreme sense of what customer service is all about . I was in recently for an overdue oil change to which I had only called 2 days before and was scheduled in with no problem. While I was there my car was serviced by a highly qualified technician in a very reasonable time and the cost was even more reasonable. Also Roger and I engaged in conversation about various topics, but he never failed to make sure the phone was answered in a timely manner or the walk in customer was taken care of promptly. My hat is off to the owners Ron and Tracy for having such a great automotive business I can count on with awesome people working for them. Sincerely, Larry M. Good friend of Buster Gray

I wrote an earlier review on how stand up this company is and how honest they are, I had some work done on my car by Federal way Automotive and a part came off that they installed and it did major damage to my engine Ron and Tracy are picking up the tab for all the repairs and have taken responsibility for the damage and are even reimbursing me for a rental car. These people are wonderful, I would recommend them highly and strongly to everyone and they have earned our business for life. This is the best shop my husband and I have ever been too. Thank you Ron and Tracy.
