I have had Emerald City's address on my kitchen counter for
a year and finally the ideal opportunity came up to test
them. For 6 months I have had a strange loud mechanical
buzzing noise coming from the motor (passenger side) of my
96 Mercury Sable wagon. The sound occurs when I start the
car and rarely when running. During my last checkup the
Ford dealer told me that it was most likely the power
steering pump. If it was somewhere on the way to the pump
it would expensive. On the way back from the pump it would
be less expensive but they wouldn't know until they got in
there and checked it out. So I went to Emerald City and
asked them to check the noise. Twenty minutes up on the
rack and the mechanic found that the noise came from a
loose bolt on the catalytic converter (cost - $1100)that
was improperly tightented when instaled by the same Ford
dealer. Cost - $41.00 Goodbye Sheehy Ford, hello Emerald
City.

The warranty on our Ford had just expired but since the dealer had been so supportive we brought the car back for a new repair (to the dealer) The estimate was astronomical, they were no longer as friendly. Emerald City eliminated the unecessary work and cut the cost in half. I had an old Toyota that blew a head gasket and the repairs would have been more than a possible selling price of the vehicle. The guys at Emerald City made the best of the situation and purchased the vehicle from me. A door lock broke on our Ford. The guys at Emerald City said they could do the job for X amount and then suggested I could bring the lock to a locksmith and spend half as much. I just can't spend money at this shop. They always provide alternatives and free minor services like cursory diagnostics. In addtion, they have treated my wife and other female customers equitably. These guys are as a nice as the sweet Doberman they keep in the office. Sometimes I wish my car would breakdown so I could give them the business!

Did a great job with my front brakes, and in one day. You won't be sorry if you go to these guys.

They are very honest mechanics in my opinion, which is
rare in this business I would say.
Their charges (oil change is around $32), would seem to be
higher than shops like TiresPlus (oil change $15). But
their total bill would be the promised $32. In case of
shops like TiresPlus you would end up paying 10 times
their advertised price.

After a year out of state, driving all over the southeast
and southwest, my ford limped back home in need of some
serious TLC. Wilbur remembered me right off the bat and
gave me the same service, honesty, and reliability I'd
been missing everywhere from here to Texas. One of the
best reasons to be back in the area.

Fixed my brake pads & rotors...then threw in for free a repair to the undercarriage of my car -- a hole that someone else had quoted me $80 to fix. Did it all in one day and treated me like family. My second time there--I recommend them highly to my friends and anyone else in the area.
