Derek was very kind to me in a time of need. My head gasket failed and he checked out my car, professionally and quickly diagnosed it, and then let me keep my car in his shop over the holidays. Only charged me for a quart of oil. One of the best guys in the industry for real.

This review is way overdue. Derek and his wonderful crew have been taking care of our cars for over twenty years. I doubt there is a more honest car mechanic in town. Thank you guys!!!

I do medical transport for people in wheelchairs, and my wheelchair van suddenly got an extremely loud noise coming from the exhaust. I called around to see if someone could check it out and was denied everywhere, but when I called Aurora Clutch & More and explained my situation to Derek - that I have patients waiting to be picked up - he told me to come in! He got my van directly up onto the lift, diagnosed the noise, fixed it, and had me out of there in time to pick up my next patient. On top of that, he refused to charge me because it was an easy fix. Any mechanic would have charged me, and probably a little extra for such short notice. You really don't see that kind of genuine kindness and neighborly service anywhere! Thank you!

Went here initially for a clutch replacement. Got a very fair price and was done in a timely manner.Came back to have them look at a power steering issue and a washer fluid reservoir leak. They determined that no parts were needed with either of these issues and fixed both problems for me, only charging labor.I d be surprised if there is a more honest mechanic in Seattle, and I give them 6 stars if I could. Derek is the man!

Excellent service. My 5 speed manual transmission is running sweetly again. Definitely recommend this business for your auto needs. Quick turnaround, reasonable prices, and honest assessment of repair needs.

Excellent service. I brought my suv here because it s having transmission issues.The owner and employees are very nice and knowledgeable. Derrick checked my car and didn t charge me for diagnosing the issue and gave me the options for fixing my car with no pressure at all. Highly recommend this place.Their schedule is quite busy and mostly booked out weeks in advance so call ahead. Great customer service A++

I cant say enough what a blessing it is to have this shop. Derek is awesome! He keeps my old car running better than a lot of younger cars and I trust him completely. He is great at diagnosing problem, coming up with reasonable solution, and keeping my old car in stellar condition. He has saved my bacon multiple times. My car is old but it doesn't drive like it. And last time when it broke down over a weekend i knew if it was towed to him he could solve it. And that is great peace of mind. And he did solve it just when i feared maybe it was time to replace car. So glad to still have my Honda Element.I don't trust most mechanics and i have reasons for that. But Derek and this shop are stellar. They are the real deal. I tell everyone i know who is looking for a shop to go to them. I should write reviews more often. I cannot say enough good things about Aurora Clutch and More and Derek.Services: Transmission, Air & cabin filter replacement, Steering & suspension repair, Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic, Brake service & repair, Oil change

Derek the owner is a decent, honest mechanic. Unlike other shops if he has an issue that he needs a second opinion he does not hesitate to call a colleague before he recommends repair, or on a couple of occasions he sent me to a second shop that specialized in the repair! I and my family, five of us, have been going to Derek for over 24 years.Services: Air & cabin filter replacement, Auto engine diagnostic, Brakes, Brake service & repair, Battery, Oil change

I have a 2002 manual car and when I called, Derek picked up to help me with an ongoing emergency break light. He gave his advice on the first call suggesting I check a few basic things before I bring it in to get inspected. That told me a lot right then and there. Some shops around Seattle didn t want to say anything until they inspected. Derek quoted me an affordable inspection. I dropped off my car at the time scheduled and it was a quick drop off. After inspection I got a call quoting me parts and labor to fix my issue. He explained it thoroughly. I agreed and problem has been solved. The other employee was Dustin who did the work and they did a great job. Definitely coming back for future issues with my car.

This was the second time I ve been to this shop, and I m so glad I found this place. First time my car was making a loud noise and the engine light was on. While some other shops wanted to charge me $100 plus dollars to run the computer diagnosis, and would want to schedule me for the following week, Derek was able to find me a time in the very next day and fixed my car at an affordable price. The second time I ve been there was also because my car was making a funny noise. They again were able to check and fix my car on the next day. I also appreciate that Derek always checks in with you after a week or so to confirm that your car is working well after the work he has done. I will definitely be using their services again when my car needs another maintenance.

I had an incredible experience with Aurora Clutch and More and I can't recommend them enough!! I had my catalytic converter stolen and was extremely upset by it. I called and Derek was able to provide me with a quote over the phone. I brought it in to the shop the next day and had my car up and running within a couple of hours. Extremely great customer service from both Derek and Dennis. Thankful for their help and that the quote they gave me over the phone ended up being what I actually paid!

Derek is a friendly and brilliant lifesaver!Someone cut the pipe to my catalytic converter but luckily they were not able to get it out.Derek was able to get me in quickly and weld the pipe back together plus he added a piece of rebar metal along the whole thing to make it harder to cut through. I probably should have had him do that before it almost got stolen!He made an annoying event into a delightful experience. Highly recommended.Service: Exhaust

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.

f I could give this 10 stars, I really would. Derek and his team are amazing.I showed up after my Catalytic Converter was stolen off my car, no appointment, no quote. Just a recommendation from a mechanic shop up the road. From the moment I stepped into the building Derek treated me like I was his son or nephew that had a broken car the night before prom. He had immediately started working on finding a new CC and didn't charge me $2000 like other mechanics I had called. He could have had the entire repair done within a day but StateFarm held us up.All I want to do is say Thank You Derek, thank you for making me feel like family and helping me. There needs to me more businesses like you. You've definitely earned a customer for life!

I am SO grateful I found these guys. My car unexpectedly broke down and Derek was kind, helpful and totally willing to take on my car. Even though he made no promises to be able to look at the issue that day, it was 10x better than several other places I called that said minimum a week out and other places quoting 2 week appts. I dropped the car off Monday afternoon, and he called the very next day withthe issue and solution and my car was done by EOD. So great. Honest, affordable and got me back on the road in my kid hauler in no time.

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 he'd done was satisfactory. I would definitely recommend and will be going back.

Derek and his crew have ALWAYS given me very satisfying and prompt service. They have been working on my vehicle for 20 years and I wouldn't even consider taking it to another shop.

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 Derek's shop. The truck sat for 2 months before I took it in and my rear driver side wheel wouldn't turn at all. We couldn't 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. He's down to earth and easy to talk to. Fixing cars and trucks is expensive but I was told what to expect and that's exactly what happened. I'll 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!

Wish I can rate Danise(hope I didn t spell the name wrong ) 10 stars! My engine cover fell apart unexpectedly, I was so worried as I have a coming trip very soon. Took my car to the shop and Danise got it fixed in less 5 mins! What a lifesaver! He s so professional and kind and friendly! Highly recommended him!

Derek was very informative and communicated well throughout the process. I was appreciative of him explaining what my options were and then giving his opinion on the best route to take. Super grateful for the service and I will be back in the future should anything else happen. Its nice to have someone I can trust!

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.

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).Services: Exhaust, Oil change

Truly excellent service. I ve been to many different mechanics in Seattle, this place is by far the best when it comes to honesty and efficiency. They re always the most reasonable in pricing than any other shop, they are quick, and never try to tack on other things that I probably don t need. I feel really lucky to have found such an honest and reasonable shop for my car problems.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Oil change

Amazing experience with Derek and his team. I was very stressed about my jeep, tried to fix it myself, made the problem worse. They took the jeep in on short notice and fixed it quickly. They'll be my new go to shop (if it's within their scope of work).Thank you!JoshServices: Electrical, Auto engine diagnostic

Derek has been my family's 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!Service: Air conditioning

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, they've 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 money's worth is important and AC&M delivers on that. I recommend them to everyone I know.

Had my catalytic converter stolen and this shop replaced it. They were very transparent about what all would need to be done with the repair and how much it would cost. They got the part the day after I called in and had the work finished in a few hours after dropping it off. I called several shops and this one gave me the lowest price quote and they stuck to it. Very pleased!
