This will be my mechanic from now on. Professional and fast service. I called a few places but decided to take my car to Jim and I am so glad I did. Thank you.

Best mechanic on the coast. Big jobs small jobs. Honest and reliable. If you need specialty work to be done on classics or any kind of rig you are working on this is absolutely the guy you want under the hood. Thanks for everything Jim!

Just moved to the area and needed to find someone to take care of our aging fleet. After several online reviews on social media to Jim, I made appointments to get routine service done. I was very pleased with their service, explanation of needs both current and future, and there was no pressure to have things done that frankly don't can either wait of don't need to be done. Very pleasant, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Will be returning and I highly recommend Jim's team.

We live quite a distance from Varner Automotive. There are plenty of other repair shops closer, but I don't think twice about the drive. This business is run right, period.

I contacted Varner s Automotive to do an inspection on a used truck I was considering buying from a local dealer. I am not an Astoria local, so Joanie coordinated with the dealership to get it done. She was so easy to work with. Jim did the inspection the following day at a fair price. He was VERY thorough and documented many problems with the truck, including several that the dealer had tried to cover up. Thanks for saving my time and money!

I have been a huge fan and frequent customer of varner's for almost 5 years now. It started when he salvaged the engine of my old car when every other mechanic insisted on a new one. The relationship continues because of the impeccable service and quality standards the shop holds for every vehicle they service, not to mention their customer service is top notch as well. So whether it is for an oil change or a total overhaul I HIGHLY recommend Jim varner's auto, there is no other auto repair shop that has given me the peace of mind I seek for my pedal to the metal driving habits Thanks for all your awesome work guys!

Jason Boyd assistant principle of Seaside High School here, just wanted to pass on my wholehearted appreciation for the services I received at this establishment. Upon my last visit, I had my tricycle with custom rims upgraded. I added a titanium alloy chain to my new off-road tire and and a teacup magenta purple respray job. I was given a lollipop and balloon during my wait for the installation process. I will be back on the trails soon, thanks! Just as I was thinking to myself that this experience couldn't possibly get any better, Jim himself made a valiant appearance, in a plume of smoke and glory. He awarded me with, get this, MORE BALLOONS, POPCORN AND COTTON CANDY! A big warm hug was received and a kiss on the check of which I will never forget for the duration of my remaining lifetime. Thanks again, love you Jimmy Pop

"only" 4 stars because that's just me. Varner's is wonderful, but I'm Saving Star #5 for something I still can't imagine :-)Jim's business has done my cars very well. He understands there are different objectives based on the car owner and the car - it's age, and what you plan on for the car's future. That helped me maintain my older car up to the time I sold it (to a happy buyer); and also helped me get adjusted to my new "used" Pontiac Vibe. They do good work; listen well, and explain to me well, my options for repairs or changes that may best suit my needs.

If you are looking for professional, thorough and quality work done right Varners is the only spot on the North Coast worth mentioning. Great communication, very organized and awesome service. This is the only place I will be taking my vehicles from now on.
