Honda dealer had told me I needed a $2,000 “critical” repair to my “leaking” timing chain cover. Tom determined it was not a leak at all but simple discoloration. My 2019 Honda CR-V has over 200k miles—looks like the dealer was trying to scare me into buying a new car. Ihler Automotive has a customer for life!
Great work. They were more than happy to use the parts I had purchased previously and recommended some work to fix a problem on my truck I wasn’t aware of.
Brakes! 4 of them needed replacing. So glad I brought my car here. Honest quotes given based on best case and worst case scenarios (based on lots of experience, not just guess work). When my car needs more work, this is where I’ll bring it.
They really helped us get our car back on the road. They repaired our transmission, and even recharged our ac, all for a reasonable price and in a timely manner.
Thanks Ihler.
Tom worked our car into his work schedule so we could take it for our trip! The car ran really well and ee liked the work he had completed on the van! We will be back!
They were good at communicating with us. It took time, due to parts and shipping, but they let us know up front it may take time so we could plan ahead. Competitive pricing.
Great value with Camano Island convenience. Performed transmission fluid change on 2011 Ford Expedition that requires dropping the exhaust system. THANKS FORD :(.
The atmosphere was a little intimidating, but they had excellent service, and they gave me accurate information regarding my vehicle. They were open with what was wrong and how much the repair was going to cost. Very happy with their work, and I’ll definitely be going back as long as I’m local.
When you provide a service to a small, contained community, that service has to be good consistently over time for your business to succeed. Ihler Automotive is an institution in the community. This was my first experience at Ihler’s and it was a fine one, as expected. It puts me at ease going forward knowing such a good service is available.
The head mechanic Tom was awesome very friendly knowledgeable about trucks and very honest had repairs done here after seeing reviews and glad we did Tom was upfront and honest at what had to be done and what should be done also a family man thanks Tom your our new mechanic
Luke got me in so quickly and fixed my car right up! He is so friendly and professional. Way less expensive than the dealership and like 5 minutes from my home! He’s now my go to! Also, I had already heard from many locals that Tom and Luke can be trusted as exceptional mechanics.
I had IHLER Automotive do some significant maintenance to my 2017 Ford F150. They replaced the spark plugs, transmission fluid plus Engine coolant per factory recommendations. I believe the staff is honest, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I recommend them for any vehicle work.
My husband had his alternator replaced here. They did an excellent job and were very professional. They kept him informed on the cost and it was fair. It was completed within two days. We are very happy and will utilize their services in the future. They are honest, knowledgeable, and fair. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
On this visit Tom and Luke did a great job of replacing the brakes front and back on my 1998 Dodge Ram 1500. They were fast and efficient and very professional. Pricing was very reasonable. If you need honesty and integrity, these are the guys to go to. As a resident of Camano Island these qualities, along with peace of mind are invaluable.🌟🏆🎖
The repairs were done quickly and efficiently. I got a thorough breakdown of what needed to be fixed and replaced, and was given an accurate and reasonable quote on the cost of repair. A great experience overall.
Needed new brakes after 70k miles. Most shops had a two week waiting list. Ihler got me in for diagnosis on the same day, and did the repair on the next. Price was fair, and no upsetting. Friendly, approaching jolly, interactions. Talked directly with mechanic. Will definitely come back!
Really knowledgeable, patient, and exceedingly fair. Tom diagnosed an issue in less than 10 minutes that had stumped my (much more expensive) mechanic in Seattle. Going to go out of my way to have his shop work on my Jeep again.
Ihlers is booked two weeks out, and then it's a little wait. So I'm not sure how it works if you're needing a quick fix. Other than that they did a very thorough job and service was great. If I get me a second car I'll be back for more service.
I stopped by because the check engine light on my Mazda 6 was on. Tom checked it out and let me know it was just a filter needing replacement. He is clearly very experienced and knowledgeable, and I appreciated his generosity (no charge for checking) and his willingness to check it even though I showed up unannounced.
Ihler Automotive was fantastic. Tom Ihler was extremely helpful in making recommendations for my engine replacement. Communication was very good, as there were a couple challenges related to supply chain issues related to the Covid pandemic. The work is top notch. Service was great, too - they even sent Luke, who worked on my truck - to pick me up when I had trouble finding a ride to pick up the truck. Quality parts, quality work, reasonable prices. I couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend them.
I'm a single mom and don't know a lot about cars so I always worry that I'm going to be taken advantage of whenever I need car repairs. Ihler's was professional, respectful, and got my car in and done super quick. It was something simple and they didn't jack up the price or try to convince me I needed a bunch of other stuff done. Prices were very fair. I will be taking my vehicles to them from now on!
Tom is a trustworthy professional who demonstrates how much he values his customers by providing honest and knowledgeable insight and won't charge you for work that doesn't need to be done. I've had experience with mechanics who will do thousands of dollars work that didn't fix the problem... And then there's Tom, who will make suggestions for upcoming work with an estimate of when it will need to be done and how much it will cost, never doing more or charging more than what is necessary. I'm glad I found him as my mechanic, and I plan on taking any car I own to him so long as he's in business. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and honest mechanic! 👍👍
