Scanwest Autosport Seattle

I’m so fortunate to have found Scanwest. They’ve serviced the two Saabs that I’ve owned for 30 years and are now servicing our BMW X5 now that they also service other makes as well. All the staff - Rob the owner, mechanics, and service staff are all top-notch, and I challenge anyone to find a better auto repair shop with such honest and likable guys. Don’t hesitate to book a repair with them. Services: Oil change, Electrical repair

These guys are the real deal-- took my Saabs there for years. I've since switched to BMWs and had a really weird problem with my X5 that they stuck with until they found the problem-- rodent damage! The kind of problem that could bankrupt you with diagnostic labor and 'experimental' parts being replaced, but instead they totally undercharged me for the time spent and ultimately got it fixed with no parts replaced! This was the kind of problem where you really have the trust the shop and they really came through. Rob and team are awesome-- customer for life here! Service: Engine repair

My gf was having issues with her transmission slipping in her 2012 Subaru Impreza. I did some quick research and found the valve body in the transmission is a common failure for Subaru CVT transmission so much so that there is a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty issued from Subaru. I call Subaru of NA and they said it needed to be diagnosed. I brought the car to scan west based on the reviews just to confirm. I asked if they had the proper Subaru software to perform the diagnosis and they said yes. When we went to get the car we were told all they did was drain the transmission, found metal in the fluid, and said it needed a new transmission. I ended up then taking it to a Subaru dealer ship who confirmed it was the valve body failure so I could move forward with the warranty claim. It didn’t cost much for the inspection from scan west but I’m disappointed based on their reviews and their self proclaimed expertise in subarus that they couldn’t even diagnose a very simple common failure and recommend I spend thousands of dollars relaxing a transmission instead of the much cheaper valve body replacement. I think these guys will be good if you know what repair you need to have done. But if you need something diagnosed just better to take it to the dealer. Never thought I’d say that but it seems to be the case. Judging from the amount of Saab’s in the shop compared to subarus I’d say these guys seem more like Saab experts than Subaru anyway. Ymmv.
