Marlin always provides excellent service. He is a very honest man and you can expect top notch work. We have taken our vehicles to his shop for years. His station is very clean and well kept as well.

ERMA J
Ive been taking my Volvo to Marlins for repairs and oil changes for a few years now, on the recommendation of a AAA truck driver. There are always nice, friendly and explain the repairs to me. They have amazing prices the major repairs my car has needed. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a great group of mechanics and anyone wanting a fair price.

We have been relying on Marlin's Auto Service for over 10 years and have been completely satisfied. This includes specific scheduled maintenance, even 90,000 mile service at realistic pricing. We believe you will be highly satisfied with Marlin's quality ASA service and repairs. They even include a complimentary hand car wash with oil and filter change..

DON V
Excellent

Marlin's Auto Service is a fantastic place to have your vehicles serviced. We have now had the pleasure of having Marlin's look after the service needs of 5 of our vehicles over the past ten years. They are honest, capable and very friendly. I heartily recommend Marlin and his staff for your automotive repair needs.

BRIAN S
We have been very pleased and impressed by the quality of customer service we consistently receive from everyone at Marlin's. We just picked up our car on Thursday, and they had quickly determined the problem, found the new parts and completed the very reasonably-priced repairs that same day. In addition, they offered to do our almost-due oil change, then after completing everything, they washed and vacuumed our car to top it off. We came to pick it up and were floored by the extra care they took in making sure we were satisfied with our service. We would sincerely recommend them to anyone for service in a heartbeat! Thank you, Marlin's!

STEVE B
Always done on time and car is clean

WAYNE B
Very good service

MEGAN D
I love going to Marlin's for not just a simple oil change on my car but anytime I have an issue with my car. They are very honest with everything their doing, if your car has more issues they will come explain what's wrong and then explain what needs to be done first if there's multiple things wrong. Being a single women I feel completely comfortable there and know they're not going to over charge me or do things that really don't need to be done on my car. I would recommend Marlin's Auto Service to everyone!

STEVE B
On the spur of the moment one afternoon, I stopped by Marlin's for gas and also asked if they had time to swap my summer wheels/tires with my winter wheels/tires. They were glad to do it and I was in and out of the place within 40 minutes, including time spent balancing all four wheels.

BOB V
You didn't find the noise problem the first time I mentioned it, but this time you have solved the problem as far as I can see (hear). Thank you. The bearings were the cause of the irritating noise I have been hearing evidently.

BOB V
Although you didn't find the noise the first time I brought the car in, this time you solved the problem. It is nice to have quiet car again. Thank you.

MIKE H
As always, excellent work at a fair price and quickly completed.

STEVE B
As usual, Marlin's did a great job and was careful to keep the car clean.

PAUL D
I really like a call when my vehicle is ready, including a brief synopsis of what was found and adjusted. Left to me, I will call too early (not ready yet) or too late (end of day after hours), and it's clumsier to figure out picking it up. I recommend making the extra call (especially when the news is good).

LARRY M
Trustworthy & Fair!

WILLIAM T
I get a lot of comments on the hat that wear. And I pass on the excellent service that you give. Thanks Bill

I choose to go to Marlins for all my automotive needs because of their honesty and integrity.

DAWN W
thank you for a quick and thorough job on my car!

CLAUDIA V
I always appreciate your help with my SOS's and taking the time to advise me that someone else wants 3-4 hrs. to diagnose and charge me that many hours labor. I live paycheck to paycheck so you are a blessing to me. Thanks for reminding me of and taking care of my regular oil change maintenance.

STEVE B
Marlin, Doug, and the staff at Marlin's Auto Service are always prompt, reliable, accurate, and honest in their work. They will always tell me if I do not need certain work done, or when it should be done in the future. Over the past 12 years in which they have maintained my cars, I have come to trust them--if they say I need work done on one of my cars, I know it is true and needs to be done! I have always been well pleased with their work.

JAMES C
You guys are friendly, always do a great job, and stand behind your work. What more could you ask for?!

BOB V
I found everything great and friendly. Just one word of advice (even though I must not complain about a FREE service) about the guy that did the car wash. I need to show him how to do wheels since they were half clean. Now, if I were to pay over $7 for that service - then I would complain!. Thank you for the wash anyway.

STEVE B
We have used Marlin's Auto Service exclusively since moving to WA in 2001. We have always found them to be reliable, honest, and prompt in their servicing of our three vehicles.

DONNA T
I have already told all my friends how good my car drives after you work on it,and how you bring it back to me sooooo Clean inside and out.

At the price of a brake job, it would have been nice to have had a quick wash job when they finished. Otherwise, the service was great.

My wife and I have been customers of Marlin's Auto Service ever since we moved here from Michigan in June 2001. We have found Marlin, Doug, and the other employees to be friendly, helpful, reliable, and honest in their work. If they tell us something needs to be done, we know it is true and that it will be done correctly. If something does not need to be done, or can wait awhile, they will tell us so. We trust Marlin's Auto Service and highly recommend them.

Called last minute for an oil change for the wife's SUV. They made no fuss in fitting me in that very same day. Sat only for about 20 minutes, in their comfortable waiting area, and the work was finished. They even washed and vacuumed the car which earned me extra brownie points from the wife. Thanks again Marlin's, you know how to treat customers well....

JULIE K

JANA W
It was great to have my car looking like new again. Fine car washing job! Thank you for all the hard work done to put the steering wheel work again. Water still gushes out into the car on the passenger side floor after a rainfall, though. Odd sounds like gurgling and hissing are heard along with it. I hope my car will be ok with that not being fixed. Thank you for helping my car "be all that it can be" and at a reasonable cost. :)

I recently had Marlin's team give my 1999 mini-van a going over before a long family camping trip to Idaho. Everything looked "good to go" according to Marlin and that's piece of mind you can count on. I just got back last night from my trip, put on 1100 miles with ZERO problems. Thanks Marlin, Your team is great!!

Very happy with the reliable service and very couteous employees. I feel my vehicle is in very good hands. That is so impotant to me since I do not know much about engines......well, nothing about engines. Your name was given to me with high regards to your high standard of ethics,knowledge of vehicles and assurance of your trustworthiness. Thank you. Also, your price was resonable. I didn't feel gouged. That means a lot to me.Again, many thanks for your excellent service.

As always, my recent repairs were done on time, done with expert proficiency, and this time the cost was even under the original estimate. I'm always impressed how Marlin's team takes the time to repair and replace only what's necessary without running up a huge extra bill. This time, their concern for me their customer saved me over $150 on the work that was planned.

ROGER H
I am impressed with the service but what is outstanding is the cleanliness of the shop and grounds. To me this shows that they care.

WENDY V
Wonderful service! Had car towed to Marlins, and they identified the problem and had it fixed (a new starter) by the next day. Price seemed reasonable!

My car's alternator failed while I was driving one afternoon and I just made it to Marlin's Auto Repair. Not knowing what the problem was when I pulled in, Marlin's team was quick to diagnose, and worked it into their schedule that afternoon. They pointed out one other problem with my brake lights as they checked the vehicle and saved me from other problems down the road. Thanks guys, excellent job, well done. It's that kind of service that keeps me as a client for all my vehicles needs.

Good job informing me of the timing belt needed in the next couple of months. Oil change was done in a timely manner. The only problem: You didn't change the windshield wiper fluid like I asked you to.

I've been happy with the service I've received at Marlin's. I used to take my vehicles to Midas for oil changes, but the customer service at Marlin's is a thousand times better. I'm glad to give them my business simply for that reason.
