Family owned and operated for 38 + years as a subaru specialty shop ,working on all makes, this shop shows a vibrant and general warmth that doesn't scare you off ,taking the time and patience to explain how somthing is repaired and why it needs to be, and as far as taking you in the service area under a car and showing the damaged and or worn out parts, this is so unusual. These guy's care. Come see for your self, it's a positive experience, and they are all ex dealer workers happy to be free of the dealership grind, and at 165$ an hr this beats the dealer by a mile.

Great experience working with these gentlemen. Intelligent and passionate about everything Subaru. I would trust these guys more than the Subaru dealership. We had some communication issues at first but Mark worked it out and we were able to come to an agreement.


Sep 06, 2024

Mark the owner is awesome. He went above and beyond answering his phone on his day off to answer my questions really appreciate the help! I will be going back for sure.

EVAR builds a great motor


Aug 06, 2024

Fast, reliable, trustworthy. I’ll be bringing my car here for years.


Aug 06, 2024

These guys are the best. The dealer repeatedly could not properly diagnose the issue with my 2017 Subaru Forester. One time at EVAR and the problem was properly diagnosed and fixed. Due to their outstanding work I now feel confident buying used Subarus because I know where to take them to keep them running.

If you have a Subaru go here. The cost for a rebuilt engine is if it is a common engine the turn around time is fast. They also took the time to find the best quality head gaskets so, when those get replaced, there shouldn't be any problem so long as you do the regular maintenance.

Very helpful, and great customer service!


Mar 07, 2024

For the rebuild on my '03 they created what I asked for and more.


Feb 07, 2024

Awesome place for getting my Subaru service done. Really knowledgeable people and extremely helpful too.


Feb 07, 2024

Fantastic place, everyone there is honest and knowledgeable. I brought it in my Subaru Legacy GT here after the headgasket started leaking on it. We decided on rebuilding the entire engine and Mark was very helpful in telling me which parts should be upgraded given the power goals I had for the car. Mark, Damon and the rest of the mechanics working there have a ton of expertise especially when it comes to Subarus. I got my car back in excellent condition and it drives better than ever. The prices are more than fair especially when comparing to dealership costs and in my opinion the mechanics at East Valley are far more knowledgeable than the ones I dealt with at the dealership. Since the engine rebuild I've been coming here for any work my car needs and will continue doing so in the future. Would recommend this shop to anyone that needs their Subaru worked on or upgraded.


Feb 07, 2024

Friendly group of people! I really like Marks energy and enthusiasm! So far, nobody has beat around the bush on my Subaru with the problems she has, but I trust these guys with my baby girl and getting her up to date since I have sadly neglected her and keeping her healthy


Feb 07, 2024

Great service


Feb 07, 2024

Great shop, extremely transparent and Mark is always helpful whenever I have any questions. I just had a complete engine rebuild, and they got it done in less than a month. 5 stars.


Feb 07, 2024

Hands down the best auto shop I have ever used. Mark, Damon and the rest of his team helped save my beloved 94 Loyale from going to the junkyard! When every other shop told me to scrap the car, Mark helped me by finding 2 cylinder heads. His shop pulled off an impossible job of, cleaning, machining and mailing them to Alaska and in my hands in 5 days! Seriously, an amazing shop that deserves more than 5 stars.


Feb 07, 2024

I bought a refurbished Subaru (engine and drive chain) in 2016 that I am still driving. I have put 60 thousand plus miles on it relatively maintenance free and it shows no signs of wearing out. They did a great job on it and Subarus are a good all weather car


Feb 07, 2024

I had East Valley Auto Rebuild, rebuild, my engine about a year ago on a BRZ. Their work is still holding up to today and the engine is running perfectly. The Guru keeps you up to date and is as responsive as one could be when you are looking for updates.


Feb 07, 2024

I had a full engine build that needed to be done for my car. After I talked to Mark, I knew my car would be in good hands. I had the pleasure of working with Damon who kept me updated on the tear down of my old engine and progress of my new one. They weren't pushy about their recommendations for upgraded parts and there weren't any surprise charges. I wouldn't go anywhere else and have found my lifelong shop for my future car needs.


Feb 07, 2024

I recently had the pleasure of working with East valley auto rebuild to bring my project car back to life! I am a DIY mechanic and had destroyed my engine racing rallycross during the winter season. I started taking apart the engine and found the typical leaky head gasket on my Subaru ej251 engine. After taking the heads to a machine shop I learned all my valves were leaking and a full top end rebuild would be needed to bring the car to life. While at this stage I decided to go ahead with a bottom end rebuild, but couldn’t find a shop to work on my Subaru engine until I found East valley auto rebuild. The team was extremely informative, helpful, and allowed me to do my own install which I appreciated. The engine is running strong now and I am taking my time to break it in following their recommended procedure. Would definitely recommend coming here for a Subaru engine rebuild!


Feb 07, 2024

Sold me Suburban said it ran and drove good it doesn't shift the transfer case or rear end growl is very bad and the owner said that he would bring the title to my house never showed very disappointed


Feb 07, 2024

Stands alone when it comes to Subaru service. Was given a tour of the shop and very well treated when I dropped off my wrecked Sti. Since then Mark and his team have gone above and beyond expectations even when negotiating with negligent insurance companies. Extremely diligent and Committed group of guys. Will be returning again in the future!


Feb 07, 2024

The best shop to go to for anything Subaru. I had a blown motor and within a day, they were starting the rebuild. Rebuild in my opinion was quick but according to them it was slow. No problems with the motor and they are very informative with the break-in and anything other issues i would have.


Feb 07, 2024

They always do good work. I trust them, when they suggest a repair and their prices seem acceptable. And I really like Mark.


Feb 07, 2024

They rebuilt my 2.5 turbo and it runs great! The staff is great and I will only let them work on my car.


Feb 07, 2024

This shop is a great place to get your engine rebuilt and are full of good information on your vehicle and are friendly !


Feb 07, 2023

I have used East Valley Auto Rebuild for about a year now and have been very satisfied with the quality of their service and communication.


Feb 07, 2023

Oh my God, this was not just a good experience with an auto repair shop, it was the best. And they KNOW Subaru. They live Subaru. They can make it new again.


Feb 07, 2023

Quality service and products.


Feb 07, 2022

East Valley was great to work with - I had the Re-Seal done on my Subaru. The only think I would like to see better is an account of what the "re-seal" entailed on the bill. A listing on what was replaced in the process would help for future maintenance history.


Feb 07, 2022

Honest work of good quality.


Feb 07, 2022

I've trusted Mark and his crew for over 14 years now, to service my aging Subaru. I can always count on them to give me the best advice and the most reasonable solutions to any problem my car has ever had. Integrity, honesty, reliability and professionalism are alive and well at East Valley Auto in Kent.


Feb 07, 2022

If you have a Subaru and need work done this is the place to go. My Subaru has over 300,000 miles and East Valley Auto Rebuild is the only place I take it. With that many miles you know I wouldn't stick with them if they weren't doing things right. And with that many miles you know I would have long since traded up if they didn't have reasonable prices.


Feb 07, 2022

These guys are great. Extremely helpful and easy to talk to. Bought my car from mark in December 2019 and I go to him for everything. Don’t take your Subaru anywhere else!


Feb 07, 2022

These guys are top-notch they know what they're doing great place to get your motor rebuilt
