Tacoma Auto Repair

I took my car here to have a charging system issue looked at. I thought I needed a new alternator, but they tested my entire charging system, and everything was fine. They then checked my car's computer, and found an error code that was throwing up the battery warning light. Although they didn't have the equipment to fix the error code, they do have relationships with the car dealerships along S Tacoma Way. They took my car to Tacoma Dodge to have this computer issue resolved, which was done in short order. I had my car back by the end of the day. Although they specialize in working on exotic cars (I saw a Mercedes SL 500 parked in the garage!) they will also work on everyday cars, as well. If you have a Dodge, Jeep, or Chrysler, this is a very good shop since they have a relationship with Tacoma Dodge just two blocks up the road. Recommended.

I'm really picky about my BMWs and Porsches. Finally I've found a local shop that I can trust my babies with. Integrity. Ethics. Trust. Confidence. Proper parts and service. That's what I get at Bristows Exclusive Auto Repair.

Bristow's is my go to shop for quality repairs at a fair price! They have always taken first class care of my cars whether it is my race car or my street car. Over the last two year the race car has never run better! Thanks to the team at Bristows!

I have been bringing all my vehicles to Bristow's for service, repairs, and modifications for over 13 years. Pete's extensive knowledge base for all foreign autos is very impressive. He has taken care of my BMW's and Porsches with the top notch care and attention to detail. The staff are all friendly and attentive to your needs. Pete has always taken the extra effort to make everything right so that I would be happy with all the service for my cars.

I've had my 1988 Porsche 911 in for tech inspections prior to track days and had always been satisfied with the work performed at Bristow's. This year my wife and I decided to take a 6000+ mile road trip in the 911 and I knew there were some items for maintenance so I asked the guys at Bristow's to change belts, upgrade the aircon, and generally inspect the car for anything else they would recommend. They did all I asked for a reasonable price, but, more importantly, completely checked the car, made a couple of suggestions, and, once done, I had complete confidence to take my 26 year old car on an epic trip to Chicago, Route 66 to LA, and up the coast to Tacoma. There were many areas on the trip where we did not have cell coverage, no AAA in case of breakdown, but never once did I lose the confidence that Pete, Brian, and the techs give me in the performance or handling of my car.Thanks All, we had a special trip, great fun, and a flawless performance from our 911.

Best service in town, hands down. Pete and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and get the job done right at a fair price. I wouldn’t take my cars anywhere else.

I recently bought a heavily used 1993 Honda Accord, and went to Bristow's to have a diagnostics check done and repair several lights that were out. The Bristow's team kept me informed about the work being done and what they were learning about my car, explaining it in Layman's terms and really working to teach me rather than just tell me. The visit took slightly longer than expected, but thanks to the Bristow's front desk team I and my two young children felt extremely comfortable in the waiting room. I intend to take my car to Bristow's for all of its maintenance needs.

I love Bristow's!!! Brian (front counter guy) is excellent at communicating to both the customer and for the customer. He squeezed me in when i had a car emergency. He clearly explained what the shop mechanics had found and also made recommendations of work that needed to be done based on my car's mileage. He explained which of them should be prioritized and how long each of them would take to complete.The mechanics are thorough and meticulous. They managed to even fix the squeak that a previous shop couldn't manage to remedy. Yay!My car was cleaned & vacuumed when I picked it up!. A nice touch. Pete Bristow has assembled quite the crew. It's awesome to have an automotive repair shop that is honest & dependable. I'm so glad I found Bristow's Automotive.

Only place I take my car in tacoma! You can trust Pete! Most reliable service in town and at a good price :)

I have been taking my Acura TSX to Bristow's for many years and have been very pleased with the service. Pete and all of his staff are friendly and pleasant and always make you feel special and they are honest and giving me a fair price.
