Kohout’s Automotive

I couldn’t appreciate more for what kohouts does for me and the company I work for. Virginia is a pleasure to communicate with. The mechanics are fast and extremely efficient in completing our vehicle’s. 5 out of 5 no doubt.

I have been using Kohouts ever since my wife took our car there two years ago and she was very impressed with how they not only explained what was wrong with the car but also showed her the bad parts. I have been very pleased with their service myself and know I cant count on them to give me honest service and piece of mind that i’m not being gouged with excessive unnecessary fess! I highly recommend them to everyone!

Virginia and Darrell were really great! The service was awesome and done in a timely manner. Darrell was highly knowledgeable. If you’re shopping around for great service and great pricing this is the place. Thanks for a great experience!

This 5-​star review is long overdue as I have been going to Kohouts successfully for over 25 years. My experience is that there is no Olympia service provider of any kind more trustworthy, reliable, cost-​benefit and effective. Consumer Reports has articles regarding auto repair that independnent auto repair provide much higher quality work, much lower costs. Kohouts is a stand-​out example of that C.R. conclusion. For example, not knowing that Kohouts repaired brakes, I went to the dealer for repair. Its service manager called to say that I also needed a $ 500 engine repair as indicated by engine oil on the timing belt. When I refused, he called days later: «Your engine wont last 2 months». I took it to Kohouts for a 2^nd opinion. Owner Ron explained in detail that the engine scenario could not be true, and that I did not need engine work. None done: sold the Japanese car 50,000 miles later. You don’t forget that kind of help. I think that the quality of Kohouts comes down to the high personal integrity of the owner and the people who work there. It’s customer service, pure & simple.

Positive experience. Did not give me a hard time about changing spark plugs before factory recommended time. Two other car repair places wanted to know WHY I needed or wanted to change plugs. My truck — that’s why (and that Ford factory plugs for the Ecoboost engine do not have a good track record). They understood my request no problem. Put in NGK Iridiums 6509 for ecoboost engine.
