Good News Auto Service

Ting is a really good mechanic. He fixed work that other shops had improperly done on my vehicle and he got me back on the road at a fair and honest price. Thank you Ting!

So far most trusted and honest auto service Shop I have ever been. I brought my wife VW Touareg V8 had engine light and burn so much gas. After service done my wife notice has consumption dropped at least 1/3 and passed deq. Car now runs smooth. The cost for this service is much lower if u were take it to dealer! I recommend this place to my coworkers

I cannot say enough good things about Ting and Good News Auto (as well as Pace-Way). We have taken our three cars (Toyotas) to him for over four years. I have also recommended him to friends and family. He has done everything from routine oil changes to brakes, struts, alternators, belts, radiator, thermostat, and more. There have also been times that I have brought a car in because I thought something was wrong, only to have him look at it and confirm that there was nothing to be done - or provide a heads-up on work that should be performed in 6-12 months. We are thankful to have an honest, trustworthy person like Ting/Good News. Thx.

I can’t speak highly enough about “Ting” and his kind, easy, personal, affordable service. I’ve brought both of our cars to Good News Auto because Toyota Dealer next door recommended him highly the first time. I came back for an AC charge. He replaced leaky hose and front end of Explorer where it was hidden, changed a dangerously low oil level and I drove off with a bill as low as my car’s temperature.

I came here for the first time to get an oil change done, and I really appreciated the work done. He even explained everything to me that he was doing and was very kind and helpful. I appreciated his service very much!

I really appreciate Ting's expert knowledge, excellent work and great customer service. We have been taking our vehicles to Ting at Good News Auto Service for all our repair and service work for several years and have always been very pleased with his conscientious and thorough work, and competitive pricing. We have recommended his shop to friends and family who have been pleased with his work as well. We had our 2006 Honda Odyssey in this last week for a timing belt and water-pump replacement, engine tune-up, oil change, tire rotation and pre-trip checkover. If you are tired of paying way too much for service at the dealership, try Good News Auto Service! You will be glad you did!

I recently visited Good News Auto Service for thermostat and rear brake pads replacement on my car, and I must say I had a fantastic experience. The service provided by Ting was top-notch, and I was impressed with his professionalism and attention to detail.

I've been going here with my Altima since Hortnagl closed (2016ish) and Ting has consistently been a champion troubleshooter and excellent communicator. His mechanical and technical wisdom shines in his high quality work and his choices of quality replacement parts (mostly OEM). It has been such a privilege working with Ting over the years on so many issues. I will continue to utilize his services and reccomend his work to friends and family. More auto repair shops should have this rapport with their customers. I can't say enough good things here. Thank you Ting and never close down, the world needs you. :)

Ting - Good News Auto Repair - is the best !!! He is a Master Mechanic with many years of experience on a wide variety of makes and models of cars in a local car dealership before obtaining his own shop. I have used Ting for many years for all of my 2003 Camry's minor service (lube/oil, etc.) and major repairs (alternator replacement, catalytic convertor replacement, A/F Sensor discovery and replacement, etc.) Ting also serviced my daughter's 1998 Infiniti for many years until she replaced it for a new car. Ting has been very helpful and honest in correctly analyzing and advising me of problems. His prices are absolutely fair as evidenced by his expanded customer base which depend upon his work ranging from total motor replacement to brakes, electrical, or mechanical issues. I absolutely recommend him as long as you don't overwhelm him with work which would delay his ability to service my needs. :) Bill Manley

Ting is spectacular. We'll be back. You should give him a chance. Great price on my timing belt & coolant pump service. A fair review of the things my car needs next without the ultra hard sell that I've come to expect.

Feb 07, 2024

When I had a broken seal on my brake master cylinder, Ting helped as soon as he could. He identified the problem immediately and got my truck back to safe working order. At a dealer I would have spent three fold on such a repair. Ting is fair and reasonable.

not to impress

Affordable, knowledgeable, master mechanic service. I'm very happy with my repairs. Good News got me on the road again.

Feb 07, 2023

Great mechanic. Busy, but good.

Feb 07, 2023

I came all the way here from SE Portland like 50 minutes driving, but it definitely worth it. I had a dead mouse in the blower motor and a other mechanic asked me for over $800 on labor only plus whatever going to cost if there is any damage. However the Good News charged me $300 and cleaned up all the mess! I couldn’t ask for any better than this!!!! Amazing guy! Thanks!

I’m always so pleased with Ting’s communication, honesty, and the swift repairs when I take my car into Good News. As I’m not much of a car person it is so helpful when he explains why something is off and gives advice as well as a heads up on things that may need work later vs things that need immediate attention. Recently I was having misfire problems with my Subaru and took it to another shop closer by me and was told that my engine would need to be removed to diagnose and work on it. Within the day that I took my car to Good News Ting had diagnosed it as an ignition wire issue, gave me a cost estimate, and fixed it. I will always bring my car here first from now on!

Ting (the one man band of Good News Auto) is an exceptional mechanic and a very conscientious human being. I can't actually fathom how he runs the entire business by himself, but this is clearly his passion. A very big deal: Ting voluntarily saves the old parts he replaces on your vehicle as standard ops and takes time to show you how and where they failed. This policy of customer education is one facet of the uncommon integrity he brings to every aspect of his business. He clearly enjoys helping people. Ting has won my customer loyalty in one single visit because of his honesty and strong communication skills. And whereas many other automotive shops will recommend / prescribe replacing parts and fixing things that have not yet become a priority, leaving the customer to either overpay prematurely or build an ambivalent feeling of mistrust, Ting is transparent and especially mindful in his approach to guiding repairs. If something isn't yet a priority to be replaced, he will put that fix on your radar but will also provide an honest assessment of how much life it has left. He clearly understands that most of us don't have a bottomless bankroll and need to prioritize the more crucial and immediate needs over the less time sensitive ones. As other reviewers have highlighted, he is a high integrity individual who charges very decent rates and brings a remarkable amount of knowledge and experience to the table. I'm grateful a family member recommended him to me and in turn I absolutely stand behind his highly ethical automotive repair business.

Honesty, integrity, attention to detail, that sums up Good News Auto’s service. Ting has been a expert mechanic for decades at local Nissan dealerships until he decided to venture out and build his own business. Boy I’m sure glad he did as I’m just not in favor of going to dealerships when one can find a great mechanic nearby that charges reasonable rates. He’s changed out our Subaru Outback head gasket, done oil changes, transmission fluid changes and an alternator on my Odyssey. He also gives great advice such as noticing battery charge retention levels and brake pad levels and other things to pay attention to. I’ve been going to other great shops such as the one next to Best Buy In Town Lanscape Supply. Good News Auto is yet another one worth a try. This shop is getting noticed, I’ve seen folks talking about it on my company chat forums as well.

I'm so grateful to have a man of God to do my auto service! Ting is honest, hard working and reasonably priced. We sure do appreciate you taking care of our cars brother.

My handicap w/c lift van sat in my driveway for a year without starting while I was in the hospital. Ting knows how important transportation is for me and worked on the van the same day I brought it to him. He thoroughly went through the van for any needed repairs and fixed or replaced what was needed. I was very satisfied with his great service!

Feb 07, 2022

Ting got my car working so quickly, and it didn’t cost a fortune!

Feb 07, 2022

Ting is a very a knowledgeable automotive technician and very nice person to talk with. I have worked on automobiles myself for more than 40 years. I can no longer have the physical capacity do so. I refer all my friends and family to Ting. Hope he continues his business for many years to come.

Amazing work, very friendly and out going!! Workmanship is Outstanding!!!

Feb 07, 2021

Has done wonderful work on my wife and my car. Always professional and has kept my almost 300k miles Avalon running like a dream. Treats us like family and is truly a very good mechanic! Trust them with your vehicle and you won't regret it.

Feb 07, 2021

Ting was very courteous and professional. Honest and didn't price gouge. We will definitely be back!!!

Feb 07, 2020

Extremely happy with his work saved lots of money when Les Schwab wanted to charge me triple the amount I will be taking my cars and referring more family and friends in the future.

Feb 07, 2020

Got my Honda brake repaired, brake oil and engine oil exchanged, within a couple hours and an excellent work. He only change the necessary parts and trying to save money for you. The only thing is the shop is a little far from my place. But will come back whenever need big auto work.

Feb 07, 2020

He is a very high-expericened mechanician. many years working in NISSAN/Subaru dealership. My Lexus RX400H radiator got replaced there in one day with reasonable cost. He also helps me on finding very reliable and low cost body shop. Great service and suggestion on car maintenance. He never asked me to do anything extra another than the issue itself.

Feb 07, 2020

I have taken my vehicle to this shop 3 times this year and have received excellent customer service. Repairs were done quickly and at a reasonable price.

Feb 07, 2020

I took my nissan maxima here for spark plug change and they did a great job! Very affordable and great customer service. I recommend my sister and a my friend here and they were satisfied with the work' price and service. Best Auto mechanic shop in town!

We took my Nissan Quest to Good News and he repaired my power window motor the same day. Excellent service and a terrific guy.
