Larsen Enterprises repairs most makes Japanese. However, I've taken my Maserati to have Matthew work on and poke around it. Always explains the problem/repair specifically and then how it relates to the remaining economic life of the car if that may be a factor. Both my brother and my self have been taking our cars to Larsen's for about 10 years.

Matthew and the guys at Larsens have serviced my 1994 Toyota pickup and 1993 Corolla since 1994 -- they are honest, fairly priced, offer terrific explanations for the non-mechanically inclined, and I really trust them with my cars. I moved away from Olympia four years ago and still have my cars serviced there when I can arrange a trip from Portland. The last time my car broke down on the freeway, I was happy that it was near Olympia! I had it towed to Larsens, and felt better knowing it was in good hands.

This is a great place to get your car repair. My 92 Miata
has over 375,000 miles on it and I only bring it to Larsen
for repairs. They are always polite and accommodating.
Matt and the rest of the team take the time to explain
what is wrong and what your options are. If they don't
think its worth the money to repair it, they will tell you
that.
The first time, I took my Miata in to Larsen (based on
comments here in this website), they fixed what I wanted
and told me the front brakes should probably be replaced
in the near future. I said I would do that next time.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I was not able to pick
the car up until the next day. When I did, Matt had
replaced the front brakes because the car didn't sound
right to him.
I said fine, how much more do I owe? Matt's reply was
nothing since I had not wanted to replace the front brakes
until next time and they did it anyway, it would be no
charge.
I have found over the last four years I have brought my
car in for servicing and repair, this is typical. I
highly recommend Larsen Enterprises.

Without a doubt the best shop I have ever been to. Very
honest and willing to explain the problem. Willing to
give rides to work and back. Recently I had some major
work done on my engine and on the way home the oil light
went on. Having been cautioned by Matthew prior to the
work that this may not fix the probem I figured that it
was simply the end of the line. I called Matthew and he
encouraged me to bring it back for one last look. Ends up
they found that in addition to the work they did they
should have recommended one additional replacement. Long
story short they re-did $1400 of parts and labor without a
peep and charged me nothing. They didn't have to do this,
but they did. Very classy. This shop is so good that I
buy cars they specialize in and avoid the ones they don't
work on.

Car is a 1990 CRX, and these guys are my regular repair shop now. This summer I came in midday with a battery on its last few electrons and they checked and replaced it on the spot, interrupting other work to do so. An expensive plastic part of the heater control broke a couple of years ago, and they recommended an inexpensive, effective work-around rather than ordering a replacement (the fix still works fine). Shop provides rides to and from worksites, at least in central Olympia.

I love this place! I'd read their reviews here and had
been planning on calling them to get my '98 Civic in to
them for a long needed check-up. However, my car forced my
hand sooner that I'd planned.
Late one night, my car went poof (white smoke billowing
everywhere, shaking and lurching). The next morning I
called Larsen's and explained what had happened and asked
if I could have it towed in. (I'd never been there or
talked to them before.) Come on in, they said, you don't
even need to come in with the car. We'll let you know when
the tow truck drops it off and then call you again when
we've had a chance to look at it and have an estimate. The
car got to them a little before noon. By 3 pm, I'd had my
estimate, and by 3 pm the next day I had my car back in
excellent running order and for less than the estimate!
I've found my new mechanic. As a woman, I'm very hesitant
about being taken by a mechanic. As a car owner who
hasn't been as good to her car as I should, I dread the
guilt trip and extras a mechanic can add. Larsen's did
nothing of the sort. 5 pages of part and labor (including
a timing belt change) for less than my last mechanic
charged for a timing belt change alone.
If you have a car that needs any work or just regular
maintenance, bring it to Larsen's - you won't be sorry!

I have taken my various cars to these guys for years - Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Mitsubishi Galant, Chev S- 10 pickup and Acura Integra (my son's car). They always do great work, don't overcharge, tell me what was wrong, and are very competent. They are so good it usually takes a week to get in, my only complaint. So I have gone to other places when I couldn't wait. Kudos to Matt Adams and the rest of the crew.

I do some auto work on my own cars but, I do not have a
full blown auto shop. Also I am not a journyman mechanic
by any means.I am a guy that was first introduced to Larson
Enterprise by a happy-co worker female. Most important
thing to me about any auto shop is that they be honest. I
beleive Larson enterprise is an honest shop. I bought a
nice type 1 Mazda RX-7 which they worked on. Later I
bought a nicer Mazda type 2 RX-7 convertable and they work
on it infact, they are the only ones that put there hands
on it besides me. They have also recently worked on my 1987
suberue gl sedan. Matt and larson Enterprises has gone
beyond what is comon in auto repair and they keep it that
way. Oh by the way I once had a problem with a job thay did
and Matt took care of it promptly. I dont know what you can
ask for more from this shop. they are pretty fair kinda
people to do buisiness with.

My parents started going to larsen enterprises when they
moved here from seattle about 26 years ago and we all
havn't stopped. Mathew and C.B. are put a lot of effort
and have pride in there work. They allways answer every
question I have with great detail and enthusiasm. My
sister, mom , dad and me have all owned many subarus and
Larsen enterprises has been very honest about what needs
to have work and what can wait. hands down the best
mechanics in town! -Nolan

Can't say enough about these guys. They have a terrific
reputation in and around Olympia. I have never had to
worry about my cars when I left them there or after
picking them up. They're fabulous and I wish I could have
taken them with me when I moved to Arizona. BEST CAR SHOP
EVERRRR!!!!!
