Auto Repair & Auto Maintenance Services in Seattle, WA

“5 Stars!”

“Paid 1/3rd of what the dealer wanted for the same repair. They did a great job and I will definitely be back for any service needed.”

“I recently took my car here for new tires and a check engine light that wouldn`t go off. The staff were very patient and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain to me why the check engine light was on (and how to get it to go off). They also took the time to talk to me about the process for replacing my front tires. I went in expecting to be taken advantage of because I know nothing about cars. However, they didn`t charge me for anything but the labor on changing and rotating my tires. Thanks Hermann`s.”

“Having had bad luck in my search for a good car mechanic, I gave Hermann's a shot. Despite my vehicles notorious issues, they were able to diagnose and pinpoint the cause of my high idle problem, and I was sent on my way without being hassled to buy parts or other services. It's hard to come across a shop that doesn't swindle you for something, so Hermann's has definitely earned my trust in terms of reliability, efficiency, and quality of labor. I will be returning for all my basic maintenance and servicing of my vehicle.”

“I recently tried Hermann's for the first time and I'm sold. Having recently moved across the country, I was in need of a new mechanic and hesitant to trust anyone new. I like to think I know a fair amount about cars but I've still been put in situations with questionable recommendations by mechanics. Here I never felt like they were trying to sell me anything I didn't need and my repair was completed quickly and efficiently. They even went out of their way to work around my work schedule. I will definitely return.”

“Nothing but good things to say about this place. They did their job quickly and efficiently, and were very knowledgeable, all while being very clear and concise with any questions I had. I needed new tires and they did a phenomenal job of informing me what I needed at a reasonable cost and before I knew it, I was on my way and ready to go. Very impressed with their service.”

“As a man who knows virtually nothing about car repair I often find it VERY intimidating when trying to price parts and service for my vehicles. After speaking with a couple of friends about options I heard Hermann's come up more than once so I decided to give them a try. I was not disappointed. The pricing was great, service was performed timely, and they were extremely flexible with scheduling. I do not hesitate to rate them a 5/5 as they really went the extra effort to make this as painless of a process as possible. If you want your car in the best of car and want a great deal do not hesitate to call Hermann's International Auto Service.”

“I am not much of a car lover, so I find my appreciation for repair companies like Hermann's goes through the roof when I get sideswiped or have a window smashed in the night, both of which have happened recently. Not only was the work done according to my busy schedule, my car looks flawless. Definitely contact this place if things go wrong on the road for you, but hopefully you're luckier than I've been!”

“They were the nicest people I have ever met. Warm, friendly, knew exactly what I needed and was able to help me explain my problems without making me feel 'like a woman.' lol. I especially loved that they were flexible as to when I could drop off my vehicle... especially with my crazy work schedule!!! I would definatley recommend Hermann's Automotive to anyone looking to repair their car!!!! CALL THEM FIRST!”

“Hermann's will now be my go-to carhop when I'm in the north end of Seattle. I own a Subaru and don't like taking it to shops that don't specialize in Japanese/foreign cars because I have always gotten better service and care at those which do. I recently moved to the Greenlake area and was looking for a new place to take my Subie for regular maintenance. I took a chance on Hermann's from a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I'm really glad that I did. They were upfront and prompt through my experience, and I'm very pleased with the service.”

“Hermann's International Auto Service has some of the best customer service out there in terms of auto care services. I had heard that the staff at Hermann’s International Auto Service was skilled but I was unprepared for how nice everyone was. These fine folks specialize in German, European and Japanese vehicles which make them invaluable to anyone who owns a foreign car. My parents were visiting recently and their car started giving then problems. We stopped into Hermann’s on the recommendation of a friend who is also a mechanic but doesn’t work on foreign cars. My parents needed to make sure that the repairs would get them back to California and they did and then some. My dad reports that they have had no problems since. I would recommend using this car service.”

“No one likes to shell out hundreds of dollars to fix an unexpected car malfunction, but Hermann's made the process easier with affordable pricing, knowledgable staff and a speedy process. When my car's AC went out during a particularly hot spell, Victor recharged my AC quickly and it was significantly cheaper than some of the other places I've looked at. All the staff was easy to talk to and they really knew what they were talking about. Hopefully I don't have another car problem anytime soon, but when I do, I'm definitely coming back to Hermann's!”

“I have always had good service as this Auto place, they are very friendly and their customer service is fantastic! I also highly recommend buying vehicles from them. They will give you very good and competitive quotes on services, not to mention they always treat you like a valued customer. Some auto places just dont care about you and only care about your money.”

“Had a complete engine failure so needed a new engine. Victor gave me two options with approximately a $2000 difference in price. Told him my driving habits and asked what he would do if it was his car. Without hesitating he said he would recommend the cheaper one. That meant a huge deal since I don't think a lot of mechanics would do that. They were extremely helpful to the point where when it took a little longer than anticipated, they provided me with one of their personal cars to use until mine was ready. I will tell everyone I know to go see Victor.”

“I've been taking my LR3 to Hermann's ever since the warranty ran out. I've been very happy with the quality of the service and the fact that they're always conciderably lower priced than the dealer. What i like best is that, most of the time they can get me in and out on the same day and I can get a ride to work fromt them. It's also nice to pick up a freshly washed car.”

“Fixed my headlights for free in five minutes, and also looked up the best price on tires for me, also for free, at the same time. Really helpful. I haven't had any major work done there but they definitely made a great first impression.”

“Best Service Ever!! Not only did they have my car ready sooner than expected, they also took the time to research to find the best price for the parts I needed. I will never go any where else!”

“5 Stars!”

“My daughters first car, a high milage Kia needed some repairs. Now of course this is a cheap car. You pretty much expect your teen to wreck her first car. So when the dealer wanted at least $900 to fix her headlight switch and horn. I was less than thrilled.
So we took it to Hermann's. They replaced the needed parts and performed the service fast, and at a price way more in line with what I expected. $298. So my experience with them was very good. And I highly recommend them for you.”

“Great service from Victor and his father Vic (Mr. Cessarea) -- will definitely be bringing my vehicle back for future repairs and service!”

“I just got work done on my car. Its a dodge charger with a very unique color. I was in a fender bender that took my bumper off. I brought it in, told them what I wanted done( bare minimum) and Victor said he'd find the parts and give me an estimate by the end of the day. Not only did he drive me home but I got the estimate right on schedule. When the parts came in he called me immediately and then called me as soon as the car was all done. I didn't have the cash on hand and so they were nice enough to let me keep my car there for two weeks while I gathered the money. Then when I was ready he picked me up and they had matched the color perfectly, washed the car till I could see my face! They were awesome super nice and professional, I fully intend on bringing my car here for all future work done!”

“Automotive headache averted. My BMW started sputtering yesterday morning when I came to a stop. It continued idling funny so i brought it over to Hermann's. Within an hour they diagnosed the problem and began the work. It needed a part and they had someone drive right over to the dealer and pick it up so I could have my car back the same day. I had a friend come pick me up and before the end of the work day I had my car back in my possession.”

“I received super service here. I told them I was a AAA member and they gave me a discount on my services. Thanks for everything.”

“My Mercedes E350 we bought used (4 yrs. old ) from an authorized Mercedes dealership. It had two faulty original engine parts which the company later grudgingly acknowledged but did not warrant, since the warranty period had expired when the problem became apparent. A $6,000. repair estimate.

Hermann's repaired it. It was complicated and took some time getting parts. But they were fair, careful, generous and trustworthy in every respect. I recommend them unreservedly.”

“This repair shop is the best! Trustworthy and great prices. There is nothing more dreadful then not knowing who is handling your car. They are really knowledgeable stand behind their work which also means a lot to me! Thanks!!”

“I've been going to Victor at Hermann's Auto for a while now. I was in the market for a new car, not being very savvy with carsI wanted someone to look over the vehicle for me since its used. Victor was nice enough to check it out and give me the go ahead. I'm loving my new 2009 Jetta. Thanks Vic!”

“My car has been repaired at Hermann's a few times. Victor Sr. always tells it straight and gives reasonable pricing. In my opinion Hermann's has all the qualities to look for in a good auto shop.”

“Victor and his auto technicians definitely know European Cars. Would not take a mercedes or audi anyplace else. I have known both Vic and Victor for years as the most caring and honest in Seattle Auto Repair.”
