Hands down the BEST place to have your vehicle fixed!! These guys are so friendly and very straight forward about what to expect when they look at your car. Brian came out and checked the codes on my car and walked through every possible issue it could be. Josh was so diligent in calling to update me on the process and issues. He explained in detail why they needed to do certain things and didn't treat me like I knew nothing. I truly appreciate that! They always ask before fixing something and run through ACTUAL prices of parts and labor. They round down on labor hours and even do extra work on touching up and tuning up!! Love this place!!!! 6.5 years of having an e-vap leak code on my Jeep and in 5 mins he diagnosed it and cut the hose to fix the problem... It wasn't even what I came in for. My hero!!! Thank you guys 1,000x over!!

We had issues with out Chevy Avalanche over the past year where the truck would randomly power down and go in to an energy saving mode - which is quite scary driving the truck at high speeds on a highway then randomly it shifts down much slower.
After doing a lot of research online about the issue and getting a diagnostics test at Midas, we were referred to come to Mathewson's for the electric work. As it turned out, we needed the throttle body replaced. The guys at Mathewson were very knowledgeable about a recall for the throttle body switch, in turn we needed to replace the entire throttle body which is a up to date part. Anyhow, yes a more expensive part but it has fixed the electrical problem. We have not had any issues since. They were easy to get an appointment with our work schedule and in a timely manner where we did not need to leave our vehicle over night.
The only issue was a little mis-communication when we went to pay the bill. We were quoted one amount and then were charged for an oil change we never asked to have. The guys were super nice about the mishap and offered to take it off of the charged amount on our credit card, or give us a free oil change later. They happily took the amount off of the charge for the oil change. We definitely plan on getting future oil changes with them for one, it was a better price then Jiffy Lube and two, they seem trustworthy and knowledgeable.
After our visit back in May, I believe Mathewson's definitely gets 5 stars for the service done on our vehicle. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants honest and reliable work done.

I have taken both my car and my husband's car to Matthewson's four times now. I have also recommended their service to friends; however, after today I will never recommend them again. Being a loyal customer, I thought I would be getting exceptional treatment and honest service. This is not the case. I took my car in for a brake check and Matthewson's said my car needed rotors, calipers and brakes replaced on the front of my Geo Prism (1997). Their quote was astronomical compared to the real prices of parts for my vehicle. I called Autozone and found parts for 3x less than what was given to me there. I chose to get a second opinion, paid for the brake inspection (which most places don't charge for, but they do), and left. Welp, driving out of the lot my car is making a weird noise that it had never made before and sounds awful! I am even nervous to drive it 1 mile down the road to my house!
I called Thomas Auto Rebuild and asked if they knew a good place and they recommended Tony's Auto Care on Logan in Renton. I told Tony's about the noise I was hearing and how bad it sounded, also that he should hear it even when he pulls my car into the shop. He calls to tell me the noise I am hearing is the back drums of my car are rotting and need replaced. Matthewson's failed to tell me this. The write up said 4x4 service may be necessary but never verbally told me about the drums rotting. The sound was not present when I dropped off the car and was present when I picked it up. They must have heard it too! Failure to tell a customer this is beyond liability to me. I provide services to people everyday as an Exercise Physiologist and I have a duty to care, what happened to their duty to care also? My life is in as much their hands as it is mine when I get behind the wheel. Not telling about the rotting drums is negligence and could result in my brakes failing. So, If I were you I would not take my car there. The price I got at Tony's was 200+ less than Matthewson's and the reliability of honesty!

I do not know what people are complaining about. I have used this shop off and on for 30 years and never have had any difficulties. I treat them as any other professional, ask what is wrong, not tell them. They ALWAYS call to say what they found and what it will cost to fix. They always call to inform me about when my vehicle will be ready. They always suggest what should be done while they are in the area, saving me money in the long run. Only once have they ever had to re-do anything AND then it was done without charge or long discussion. They are not cheap - you get what you pay for. No wonder AAA rates them highly.

My family and I have been taking our classic cars here for years. I would not trust anyone else to handle custom cars with the same care and professionalism that they do.
Yes, they're labor rates are perhaps not the cheapest, but they're in line with most automotive shops and, to be honest, here you get what you pay for - knowledgeable mechanics in the back and good communication at the front desk.
I wholeheartedly recommend Mathewson's for all of your automotive maintenance needs.

So you should go here only if you want to get screwed over. I went here because my water pump when out of my car. Here is a few of reasons i would never go back.
1) I was towed in on a Wendsday, was told that it would be done in a few days(so you would think Monday at the latest, right?). I figured a day to get the parts and then if it wasn't done on Friday, they might be a little longer since there was that darn weekend.
I got a call on Monday afternoon saying it shouldn't be much longer. So Wendsday rolls around and i call b/c it has not been a "few days," but a week. I then let them know that i am a little irritated because i am having to rent a car this entire time!!
The response i get is priceless.....The guy on the phone says, "Well if we would have known that we would have gotten your car out of here faster."
Ok so that REALLY made me mad.
2) I got my water pump changed and the guy told me that i should get my timing belt changed in addition. However this would cost me over another 1000 dollars. Later to find out that when you replace the water pump off you actually have to take off the timing belt too.....which was rediculous because the timing belt actually costs like 30 buck. When i'm actually paying for the labor to do the same thing to change the water pump!!!
I could go on for a while longer but, point being only go there if you want to pay a ton, taken advantage of, and for it to take forever.

Mathewson's is a shining star when it comes to honesty, service and communication.
My Dad recommended that I take my 1998 VW Jetta to Mathewson's when I was having issues starting it. My folks have taken their car to Mathewson's a few times and have had ONLY great things to say about them (coming from my Dad, that means a LOT!!) I thought maybe the ignition coil was out, maybe the fuel pump, but I called Mathewson's to schedule an appointment and was given a quote for the 1st hour of diagnosis, and that they would call me with details of what they find. I was also advised to drop my car off at the night key drop (which was very easy and convenient), with an explanation of the problem. That next morning, they called me to let me know that it wasn't the fuel pump or the coil, but that they wanted to try a new distributor cap, plugs, and a fuel filter to see if that fixes it. They kept it overnight to try and re-create the problem, and their suggestions resolved the issue, Potentially saving me tons of $$!
Even though I suggested to them that it may be the fuel pump or ignition coil, they were *honest* with me and let me know that it wasn't that, and that I should try this less expensive fix first. Upon picking up my car, the personnel explained to me in detail what they replaced, and why.
I ended up spending a lot less than I thought I would have to spend, and because of their honesty and reliability, I will be bringing my car back to them with any service needs.

I found the gentlemen at matheson's to be courteous and pleasant. It is hard to find a car place that you feel is not taking advantage of you, especially as a woman. I will be returning and would recommend their services to others.

When I lived in Seattle I only took my cars here--and not just because the shop and I have the same name! Modern cars continue to get more complex, and I could always count on the technicians here to have the training and experience to handle not only older cars, but also all the latest models and equipment. Couple that with impeccable honesty and consistently great service, and the peace of mind alone was worth the 30-minute drive to come here and no place else. I remember once convincing a friend to bring in his beloved, but aging Toyota Cressida. The car had lived for years in the northeast, where they salt the roads in winter. In addition to its immediate problems, the undercarriage was shot. After completing a checkup, the Mathewson's rep took my friend aside and said, "Look, here's a $2,000 list of repairs we could do on this car to keep it on the road. But, there's so much rust down there...it's just not going to be safe for much longer. I'm really sorry to have to tell you this, but...I think it might be time to let this one go." That kind of integrity (and sensitivity) is so valuable in an industry where customers are often dependent on the judgment of an expert. Mathewson's may not have gotten any business from my friend that day, but they sure won themselves a customer.

This is absolutely the best place to go to have your vehicle worked on. Prices are more than fair. There honesty is beyond 5 stars. They have gone above and beyond in many circumstances to please there customers. Very knowledgable. Very friendly and caring. The only down thing I can say about this place is they are quite busy but that just shows you there are a great company.

Tried to charge a friend of mine $1100 for a new steering column. Was a bad ignition and they said they couldn't find the part. Googled it and it only cost us $75. Not the only person theyve over charged. Beware these guys!.

These guys have been so great to me for about the past17 years! I was having nothing but trouble with other places where I took my car and once I found them, it was straight forward and clear. They have been the ONLY shop I trust! They are nice, consistent and know what they are doing! I recommend them to everyone. Even though I've moved out to Issaquah, I still bring my car to them!
