My husband brought his BMW in because it was over heating was told it needed a new hose payed to have it diginosed and fixed, a week later the same issue happened so we called the shop and was told to bring it back in and they told us it had the same issue but now a different hose so we paid them to fix it, brought the car home pulled into the drive was and could you guess what happened the car over heated so we turned right around and brought it back to them they called my husband back and told him they fixed the over heating issue but now the car won't go into reverse or drive and they needed it out of the stall in the shop so they were going to pull it out with a fork lift. My husband told them absolutely not, and we raced over there. The car ran perfectly besides overheating, now another issue. The macanic said he could not figure out how to get the car in reverse to back it out of the shop, mean while another macanic there over heard me and my husband talking came over and backed it right out now they want 1200 something wrong with the transmission so we took the car home. Come to find out, it needs a new water pump, which cause the car to go into limp mode. Do not use this shop waist of time and money.

Bought my 2018 civic 4 years and haven't taken it in for much more than basic check ups. All of a sudden a couple months back my AC started blowing not so cold air. Wellllll that's an issue that I thought was going to be an expensive fix. I brought it to do-rite and Angie in the front was able to tell me how this will go down, very easily. Chris and (unfortunately didn't get his name) in the bay worked on my car. I asked for an oil change as well. Apparently..... Some ding dong a number of years ago over charged the coolant in my car and that ended up messing with the whatever that made my car cool. They fixed that, got a new air filter cause mine was horrendous, and an oil change. All for WAY less than jiffy lube would charge for a basic oil change. 10/10 Do Rite is now my go-to mechanic and I will be referring them business. Thanks guys!

Brought my Acadia here as my car was making a horrible “clanking” sound. I feared the worst. Turns out it was just a broken bracket on my muffler. They were able to fix it same day, I was in and out in less than two hours. Great service.

My friend and I have had many cars fixed there -- Fast friendly service

This is place is a joke he had my car for 10 day's he couldn't find out why it would not start first he said it was the ignition after buying a new ignition and installing it that was not the problem then you try to tell me that it was the brain in my car that was going to cost me $1,600 and that when I had it taken somewhere else and they had my car fixed within an hour it was a loose wire how are you going to be a mechanic and not recognize the loose wire stay away from this place

Do Rite is a very reputable shop. They are very upfront about the vehicle's situation and what needs repair. They are on task getting the job done. Priced right no gouging your wallet.

Driving from Texas to Alaska my truck engine light came on! I drove to an auto store to get a diagnostic and was informed it was the transmission output speed sensor. When I finally reached Kent Washington I called Do Rite Auto Repair and told them I was in the middle of my drive and they were able to fit me in same day! Luckily they found the problem and it was an easy fix ( my serpentine belt was eating thru my transmission wiring harness). Right after the fix, my truck was running great! Thank you for helping us out.

Had my vehicle inspected and repaired here recently. The staff is easy to communicate with and humorous. For those who don't know much about cars like myself, they were able to replicate and find my mysterious "morning squeaking." Which ended up being related to my brakes. Then the dreaded conversation of talking $$$ came. It made my heart sink a little since it wasn't a great time financially for my household. I agreed to the price and they were very accommodating in terms of when I could expect to pick it up. I showed up ready to pay and to my surprise, the price was much lower than expected! I never mentioned my financial circumstances or haggled a new price. It was a pleasant surprise that I won't forget. I will be a returning customer. Even without the price being lowered it was a great experience. I would say excellent, but y'all need to work on your website. ;) I recommend calling for appointments. P.S - I'm not sure what other reviews are talking about in terms of staff interactions. Unless they spoke with other personnel, I didn't have the same experience (or maybe the customer was being.. difficult?..) Thank you again Do Rite.

I've been a mechanic for 36+ years and have only found a hand full of shops that I trust. Do right is at the top.l bring my personal vehicles to them as well as vehicles from the large fleet that I maintain to keep everything rolling. They are professional and honest!

I’ve had great experiences here very happy with price. Great shop cool staff. These guys have worked on my commercial buses -/ AC and mechanical work.

Missed over $1000 of issues, still had the check engine light on and was told "it was nothing to worry about". We had to take it somewhere else to get it fixed again, And that was after it took almost a week to look at it, and then vaugely threatened to take down my initial bad review

Over a month wait to fix my husband’s car with Mark the owner delaying us a week after a week telling us it will be ready in a few days over and over again We ended up renting a car 3 different times because of Mark at the office who I think is also the owner so unprofessional We got quoted for 1360$ but he tried to bill us for more than that which we didn’t agree regardless a week later the issue wasn’t resolved we lost our money and mark said it’s not their problem. I do not recommend this repair shop to anyone who needs a good quality repair in a scheduled time frame be ready to wait for longer than you’re told

Such a great team of professionals that did an amazing job at a more than reasonable price! Could not be happier with how fast my truck was diagnosed and fixed. Would recommend to anyone.

This place used to be pretty good. Not so much anymore. I have an aftermarket transmission pan I wanted to be installed. Not a hard job at all. It’s annoying for me to jack up my truck completely level for the refill, so I’d figure I’ll just have a shop do it. I have everything. The guy I spoke to said “we do not install customer supplied parts.” IT’S AN AFTERMARKET PAN FROM PPE!! You are going to get it from the same place. It’s just a hunk of aluminum with no moving parts with zero chance of failure. I understand supplied parts like calipers and what not, but this is a pan! The guy answering the phone is terrible. Will cost that business money for sure.

Long review... I've used Do Rite for my car and my husband car. They're usually fast, and affordable. On Friday December 23rd, I called to speak with someone about my husband car. That person told me to wait for Mark. I waited and waited, and no phone call. I called back, and Mark was never told to call me. After speaking with Mark, he told me to drop my husband's car off on Tuesday due to the holidays. Tuesday comes, I called Mark and he told me he couldn't give me a quote but to drop the car off. When I got the car towed there, there was no call for a full day. I called Mark Wednesday to ask about my car. He acted like he didn't even know my car was there. Then he said the car is there. My husband called and spoke with another person, and they told him what was wrong with the car. Again, they cannot give us a quote. Thursday my husband call again, and he was told they're going to start working on it. We waited, and still the car has not been touched. Today December 30th, I called Mark. He still can't give me a quote. After knowing for a day exactly what's wrong with the car. Then he said they couldn't start working on the car until next Tuesday, and it still won't be ready that day. I chose to move the car to another auto shop. The car get to this auto shop, and the alternator belt is missing. A whole week my husband has missed work. A whole week of my car just sitting there. A whole week of not even getting a quote, and you not put the belt back in the car. I will NEVER go back there!
