I got a new clutch and serpentine belt recently installed into my 2000 Toyota Camry. Derek was very helpful from the beginning giving me a quote beforehand and explaining the procedure. He had the lowest prices around and finished the job on time and the car runs great. He even checked in a week later to make sure the work hed done was satisfactory. I would definitely recommend and will be going back.
Derek has been the best! I have had several issues with my 20 year old car, and Derek has always been available and reliable to fix the problem to get me up & running in no time. This last time he fixed the starter and I had my car back within a couple of hours. Great service, great value and very professional. Thank You Derek!
Dereks shop is the best in town. Honesty, educational, and reputable work ethic. No gimmicks, frills or runarounds; just great service.
They resurfaced my flywheel. Even though pins were stuck in there, they kept trying and got it out with special tools. It took some time so I was charged a small fee. Fair enough. It was worth it. They were nice.
Derek was really up front and communicative. He diagnosed my problem as soon as I brought it in, and told me he didnt have room for me. I appreciated his honesty and dropped my car off later in the week. Hes my mechanic for as long as Im in Seattle!
Derek and his team were great, very professional and offered top notch service. Derek also made sure he purchased OEM parts for my brakes and I think Aurora Clutch & More is the place to go for auto services in Seattle land area.
Derek is the greatest in his field, no contest. Even with a same-day appointment, he was able to easily install a replacement catalytic converter at what was an amazingly affordable price relative to competitors in the area!Id take my car back here before I went anywhere else (and confidently, too).
Very consistent. Lots of super valuable feedback from super knowledgable staff.
Derek is an awesome mechanic. He revived a very old and sick XTERRA for a very reasonable price. It works great now. Highly recommend. Amazing place.
Great service, these guys know what they are doing. No BS, they told me how much it was going to cost and its how I paid. Very competitive prices. I highly recommend!
I highly recommend this shop! I have been coming here for years, and have always been 100 percent happy with the service. Derek the owner can be reached directly during shop hours and is always willing to answer questions I have and accommodate all of my car maintenance and repairs.
I am a return customer, and Aurora Clutch has always done an excellent job for me. Their pricing is more than fair. Derrick is personable and professional. I feel like Derrick really cares about customer well-being and satisfaction.
Zero stars They blew out my new under 300 miles master clutch cylinder and wrapped a plastic bag around the leak to hide it I found it out 3 years later. Done by owner s mechanic or owner. let the buyer beware
Derek Todd represents the Best of a generation of businesses endangered for extinction: because of his decades of paying attention, his evaluations are accurate; his honesty is breath- taking; i m sure that he brings that level of experience to his hiring practices; his charges are competitively fair (no gimmicks; honest opinions) ; I would not hesitate to recommend (! ; dozens of ***** reviews speaks Truth; thank You, Derek Todd ~~CatherineK. 98133
Derek has been my familys go-to mechanic for years now. Recently, I got my first car and needed some work done on my AC. I finally got to see for myself what makes his shop so awesome.Derek and his shop will go to incredible lengths to make sure your car gets fixed to a quality standard while keeping your costs low with no BS. Nobody else does it like Derek!
I saw with Dereks service exactly why this place is rated 5 stars. Its much deserved. I felt very well taken care of.
Dennis was really helpful and able to repair my car in no time.
If you need your clutch replaced, this is the place. Excellent service, super helpful, and the best price. Great guys here all around. Derek went over and above what I expected.
These guys are amazing. I had a broken Catalytic Converter and my back brakes were at 4%. They did both fast and at, I thought, a great price. I would recommend them to everyone and I will definitely go back.
They were able to replace my stolen catalytic converter for over $2000 less than the first place I went to, and my car is running great!
Derek and his crew are the best. Honest, reliable, friendly service. I’ve been bringing cars here for years now, I’ve never had an issue with any service provided
Absolutely top notch! Before I chose a shop, I did quite a lot of research with the idea of a DIY clutch replacement. I wisely concluded it was above my skill set, and started looking for reputable shop.My initial conversation with Derek convinced me that Aurora Clutch was the place. He absolutely amazed me with his knowledge of the clutch in my specific car. I got schooled by the professor, and am ever so glad I didnt attempt the DIY project. Car feels smoother than it has for as long as I can remember.Very highly recommended. Thanks Derek and team!
I just brought my old pick up truck in to Dereks again. He has continually been such an honest and reliable resource over many years now and not just for clutch things. I can’t even begin to tell you all how much I highly recommend him. Thanks again Derek!
Love Derek at Aurora Clutch & More. Always friendly and work with safe practices. I appreciate the personal touch of a follow-up call or text to make sure everything works and is satisfactory.
Derek wont b.s. you and your car will come back better than you left it. weve had work on our older (90s) and newer (20teens) cars with no problems and a good price.
Great work, reasonable prices, and an owner - Derek - who has enough old school customer service sense that you leave the shop with confidence that your problem is solved, and if it recurs, theyve got your back. Derek is a good listener and communicator, and a wealth of knowledge and experience. AC&M did a clutch and Timing Belt on my 97 Trooper a couple years back, and I so satisfied with their work that when my Chevy Pickup Transmission started having trouble, I knew AC&M was the right place to go. Transmission work is expensive, so getting your moneys worth is important and AC&M delivers on that. I recommend them to everyone I know.
These guys are great! Derek is such a great guy! The clutch in my 98 Ford Ranger went out so I had it towed to Dereks shop. The truck sat for 2 months before I took it in and my rear driver side wheel wouldnt turn at all. We couldnt even get it off the tow truck. Derek came out right away with 2 of his guys and took care of me even though they were already busy. They jumped my dead battery and broke the wheel free in no time! Derek was straight forward with me from the time I first called until I picked my truck up all fixed. Hes down to earth and easy to talk to. Fixing cars and trucks is expensive but I was told what to expect and thats exactly what happened. Ill be going back to Aurora Clutch and More anytime I need work done in the future and I strongly recommend them. Thanks Derek and your crew! Awesome people!
Derek was very patient and helpful throughout the whole process of getting my car fixed. He even helped me secure a tow to get the car to the shop and they did a great job on the repair, the car feels awesome. Fair prices, nice people, honest and reliable service. Would definitely come back, 10/10 would recommend.
These guys are awesome! They have worked on both my Honda Civic si, and my Lexus sc300. They diagnosed a problem with my clutch, replaced it with no hidden fees or drama. Just got the job done! Same with when I brought my Lexus in, it was in bad condition and he could have easily wrote a laundry list of repairs needed to fix my leak. But he diagnosed it correctly and saved me a lot of money. Derek and his team are great! No hassle, no B.S kind of atmosphere. Will keep coming back and sending friends his way!
Derek was great with my 1998 ford escort! Fast service, and gave a very fair estimate. I will definitely take my car back to him!
Aurora Clutch & More gives you the best and the honest service in Town. Mr. Derek is very experienced, very professional and honest Mechanic I have ever seen in my life. On top of that the price I have paid for my vehicle was very reasonable. If you go to any other Auto work shop you will be charged almost double than Deriks estimate; therefore folks Aurora Clutch & More is the right one for your any vehicle repair services. Go Derek!!!
This place is awesome! Just inherited by Grandfathers 82 Dodge pickup and had been trying to get my Dad to fix the original hydraulic clutch before it failed, but he couldnt find anyone reliable or knew how to address. Derek and his staff had it fixed in 1/2-day with a brand new clutch kit and it runs like its brand new. They even adjusted the brake and clutch pedal for free after it was broken in after a few weeks. This shop is just great !
My car needed new struts and Derek gave a fair and competitive price. Their customer service was awesome! I wasn’t able to pick up my car during their business hours but they were very accommodating and flexible. The work was great! My car has never driven so smooth. It’s great!! Thanks, Aurora Clutch and More!
Derek and his staff are amazing. He is very honest. When I was unfamiliar with the area and other shops quoted over priced, he and his staff were very easy to work with. I like the way he does business and treats customers. He’s been in the business for a long time. I recommend him to everyone.
Derek and the team at Aurora Clutch & More managed to fit my car in before the long holiday weekend and get it back to me only two days after I had it brought in! It was amazing! Ill recommend them to anyone wholl listen.And on top of great service they have it to me at the best cost in town. Definitely going back, for any car troubles in the future.
Derek and team at Aurora Clutch and More treated me super well when replacing the clutch on my Nissan Versa. They had an extremely competitive price and their timing was perfect. I will for sure be returning for regular maintenance. I would not hesitate to recommend.
Great shop, wouldn’t normally leave a review but he’s always done me right.
Aurora Clutch & More was recommended to me by a friend 10 years ago. My husband & I have brought all our cars here ever since. The service is always dependable, efficient & friendly; and the price for parts & labor is always lower than any other shop in town. Ive recommended them to several friends who have also had the same experience in their shop. Id never go anywhere else!!!
Derek and guys at Aurora Clutch & More have been doing my oil changes and other minor repairs for a couple of years now. I was recommended to them by a friend and have been very happy with their service. They are a smaller outfit that knows who I am and doesn’t try to take advantage of me just because I am a woman. They have been goood about recognizing work that might need to be done and if they can’t fix it, they will recommend someone who can. I can’t thank these guys enough!
This is the best place I ever been to in my life. They were honest and fair. The price was good also. Not a ripoff. First they did my clutch. I was so impressed by their work and the fair price, I took my truck back and had them do the brakes. Just like before. They were honest, fair, did great A+ work, and did not rip me off. I am now planning to take my wifes car into them. Why not. Its the best shop I have ever went to in my life. I know how to fix simple things on my truck, and I have an idea about how much it should cost. These people are on the up and up and I could not say enough good things about them. I give them a AAAAA+ rating. They are number 1 in my book. They are the best in Seattle.
Derek and the crew at Aurora Clutch and More are awesome! Ive taken my car to them twice. Both times the service was done very quickly and at a fair rate.
The workmanship, scheduling, and suppliers at Dereks shop were outstanding. I initially rated them at 6/5, but I raised it to 7/5 based on the way Derek dealt with a little problem that came up (not the shops fault). Ill be back if I have any drivetrain issues.
My 1999 Isuzu Rodeo only goes to Aurora Clutch! I recently had my master cylinder replaced (for the first time) and I expect to continue driving my Rodeo for another 50 years!
On the fly exhaust system repair in less than an hour with no appointment.The main guy that Meineke used to employ is still here--awesome and experienced. Top notch. I trust these guys with my car. Definitely recommended, easy to get to from Southbound Aurora or eastbound 85th Street at Aurora. NB Aurora, just hang a U and turn right at the first driveway.
Derek and his Aurora Clutch guys did a *great* job on our 1990s Camry ... timing chain replacement ... also new windshield wiper motor ... its a year later & everything is running perfect. Completely satisfied.
Pro in every aspect. I dig their work. John Lee
Always great service, never felt ripped off like some mechanics.
Always a 5 star visit! Derek, Ali and Dennis always go the extra mile to service and repair my vehicle. I trust them completely. They are very pleasant and fun to work with. I look forward to my oil changes! !
Good price good service. My go to shop to get it done right!
Derek is great! He worked with me on dropping my car there while I was traveling for work. The car was ready by the time I got back into town. He also helped me with other issues that my truck as having and kept me updated every step of the way. This definitely wasnt the closest shop to where I live, but was definitely work taking my truck there. The price here is fair and the service is outstanding. I highly reccomend them!
Work fast and at a reasonable price! They even stayed open past close to make sure I got my car back the same day! Cant recommend more
Hydraulics for clutch failed in Seattle Washington on trip from Illinois to Vancouver British Columbia and towed here. Best luck ever. Fixed hydraulics and stored vehicle until I could return from Vancouver and noticed brake issues and fixed them too. A-1 top-notch service. Very customer and safety oriented. Thankful for their services. The red Dodge Dakota lady.
I am very happy with Aurora Clutch and More. The old technician we use to use sold out to Pep Boys, who told me our work vehicle needed 1000.00s in repairs. I didnt feel they were being honest, so I asked around thru friends and was refered to Derek at Aurora Clutch. When he looked over the vehicle, all it actually needed was an oil change. I feel blessed to have found a truly honest technician and will continue using him to repair all of my work and personal vehicles. The prices are fair and service prompt. I highly recommend Aurora Clutch and More!!!!S. Duffy
This is truly a good, honest shop. Derek and his crew always get my vehicles repaired quickly and for a very reasonable price. Old school shop with good old school values!
Multiple times I have called and asked if they could fit my in and take a look at it. Every time they have been able to do so, and either diagnose the issue or work on my car. I definitely trust their quality of work and integrity!
Ive been going here for years now and they are wonderful, great customer service, they dont over charge you they really try to help you . Theyre not trying to get an extra dollar. Im glad I found this place. Theyre fast and efficient with your car.
My landlord has been using Auroa Clutch and More for years. She recommended to me and they have been great. Always have been honest and fair in prices. I have had big mechanical issues fixed and regularly do my oil changed with them. They are great at every level and will continue to use them as my mechanic. This is even if I move across the city.
Almost 2 years ago I had the clutch replaced. I selected them because of the location, positive reviews and good price. I talked with another couple garages I respect and they were looking at about 50% more in cost. Recently I had trouble in shifting gears. Since it was still under the 2 year warranty I called Aurora Clutch & More and they said they would look at it the following day (I called in the late afternoon). Turned out that they were not able to fix the problem without taking out the entire transmission - which they did. Along the way they ran into a number of obstacles because parts on the exhaust system which were in the way had corroded. So they ended up replacing other parts besides the clutch. When I went to pay, they would not accept any extra money. They would only charge me for the non-clutch related parts and a small amount of the labor time. They refused to change me any extra for all the time they spent due to the parts being corroded. They would not charge me anything for the pro-rated 21 months that I had driven on the previous clutch plate they installed. I was very impressed. The total cost ended up being around $200. The transmission shifts smoother than it ever has before.
Replaced radiator on GMC pickup. Good work, good price. Derek spent time on follow up and advice. Nice to work with...
I had Aurora Clutch & More do excellent work on my car a few years ago. Derek diagnosed the exact problem and fixed it for a very fair price. He also took the time to explain what was wrong in detail and answered my many questions. I have never been treated so well at an auto shop, especially considering I know nothing about cars.For the past month its been progressively harder to shift gears, Ive been having to push the clutch all the way to the floor before I can get into gear. Today I stalled trying to get from 2nd to 3rd, so I called to ask if I could bring my car in. After I described the problem, whoever was on the phone said it sounded like low clutch fluid. He gave me a quick tutorial on how the clutch hydraulic system works and step-by-step instructions on how to check & fill the clutch fluid myself. Sure enough, my clutch fluid was way too low and I managed to fill it without damaging anything, and now I can shift gears as smoothly as before. (Not that smoothly, but still.)I got a free education in car maintenance from a trustworthy shop - a less reputable auto repair shop could have taken advantage of my ignorance, charged me for labor & brake fluid, and I would have been none the wiser. Aurora Clutch & More didnt make a dime off me today, but they made a customer for life!
Good service, close, fast turnaround, reasonable prices, honest mechanics.
Always does amazing job on time!
I have brought in my wife car for oil changes and now for brakes, these dont beat around the bush they just tell you straightforward what needs to be done, they are not expensive but you definitely know your car is in good hands versus the chain mechanics shops. We will be going to these guys specifically from now on!
Love Derick at Aurora Clutch. He is a solid mechanic who is fair and honest. I am always satified.
These guys are amazing! Derek is a great guy and they really know their stuff!
Amazing service and quality for a great price.
The clutch on my 94 Toyota went out. I got an estimate for $1800 from the place I usually go. i decided to trash my car as thats more than its worth plus I am moving abroad. Neighbor said that price was too high and to get a second quote. Googled Clutch+Seattle. Dereks place came up and silly me why did I not think of that before? I had work done by Derek back in 03. My roommate had his clutch replaced there too. I even had Dereks place in my phone from years ago.Called him, read off some of the estimate. I most appreciate his easygoing manner, like talking to a neighbor about the weather. The quote he gave was half the other one, and he had a spot open the next day. I drove it right down. I showed him the other quote and he translated for me - the other shop was throwing in a bunch of stuff that was unnecessary, to cover their bases. I just needed a clutch and a couple other things. I picked it up the next day. I did not even recognize the truck. It was like brand new. I appreciate that he took it for a spin to go get a part he needed. He used a good used part where available.Sorry if this review is a bit lengthy and convoluted. I have been composing a brilliant piece of literature for the review as I was and am so happy that I went to Derek. Now I just need to get it posted ASAP to say thanks; other than homemade baked goods and piles of cash I cant think of any other way to thank him incessantly for my having a truck to use during my last months here.Really all that need be said is-Go See Derek. There is no need to go anywhere else for your clutch work.
The owner is cheerful and considerate. I was given a ride home after dropping my car, and the price was reasonable.
Very efficient, and cost effective.Highly recommend their service.
Good clutch work done quick at good price
These guys are awesome! Continually my favorite, trustworthy shop to go to!
Derek and his crew have ALWAYS given me very satisfying and prompt service. They have been working on my vehicle for 15 years and I wouldnt even consider taking it to another shop.
Ive had my brakes replaced and a few oil changes at Aurora Clutch and more. I am very satisfied with the quality of their service and now I only go there if I have a car problem!
I received a fare price and excellent service.
They were great! Quick, reliable and affordable!
Excellent, fast and personable.Thanks Derek!
Exceptional customer service & care!
Very honest and very detail oriented when it comes to fix and recommend solution to a customers problem about their vehicle.
Theyre reasonable, friendly, and reliable.
Always great!
Dereck was with us all the way as we had our transmission rebuilt. All is well again now with our Honda Odyssey.
Great customer experience
Nice People
Went to get an oil change.
Great customer service!
Not only excellent service and at a modest price, but funny : ))
Always great!!!
Trustworthy.
Had squeaky brakes, Derek took a look and called me back in an hour or so saying they just needed to be re lubricated, and he refused to charge me for it!
Derek is an excellent and honest manager. He will find the right repair at the fairest price. To recommend
