Trusted by Hundreds of Local Drivers
See what your Kenmore and Bothell neighbors say about their experience with AVS Automotive.
"I can't say enough good things about AVS Automotive in Kenmore. Finding a mechanic you can truly trust is incredibly difficult, especially as a woman who often encounters people underestimating her knowledge. I test shops by asking guiding questions to see if they're being straight with me, and the team here passed with flying colors. They didn't try to bullshit me at all, and their expertise, honest communication, and fair pricing make them the best. I was extremely satisfied with the service and how quickly they got the job done"
Brittany
Kenmore / Bothell Local Customer
"Andrei was extremely helpful, prompt with communications, and thorough in his approach. After getting a quote from the dealership on some necessary repairs including a crankcase breather and water pump replacement, his business was able to perform the same work with OEM parts at approximately half the cost. In addition, he identified several misses from the dealership inspection, including a disconnected fog light cable, and reattached/fixed these quick items for no charge. I plan to return as a repeat customer after the excellent experience."

"This place is great! Very helpful and reasonable. My water pump went out in my Volkswagen and I called multiple places to get quotes and AVS was able to look at my car same day and get me in the following day. I highly recommend them!"
Melissa Fitchitt
Kenmore / Bothell Local Customer
"These guys did a fantastic job getting to the bottom of a mystery issue with my car. They kept me in the loop the whole time and put in way more hours than they charged for, shoutout to Richie and everyone else at AVS for their hard work getting me back on the road!"
