Nate's Fast Forward Inc.

Hands down the best mechanic in the area. As others have said, Nate is a no BS kind of guy. After getting the run around from other mechanics for almost 2 years on the same issue… Nate was able to diagnose and make my old beater run like new again within an 8 hour window. Will be going exclusively here from now on. Pricing is perfect. Not highway robbery, while also not being suspiciously cheap (aka no quick patch jobs that will break again later).

Great small town auto shop! Owner and operator Nate is an excellent mechanic who REALLY knows his cars. Reasonable prices with quality service. Don't want to wait in the waiting area? Grab some snacks from Norm's, nextdoor, and walk across the street to Lundeen Park on beautiful Lake Stevens and relax in a covered shelter or lounge on the beach watching ducks swim. Who could ask for more?

I have gotten work done here before. It was overpriced and poorly done causing me to seek out other mechanics to fix the issue. He left the car a mess inside and out with grease stains. Recently he went through the time to overprice me for work on a vehicle then made it clear that he is only performing the work as described, i.e. no diagnostics of the actual issue or other potential issues caused by the problem. Basically throwing parts at a problem without actually knowing the problem. He is and always has been unpleasant. This is a poorly operated scam of a mechanics shop fitting the stereotype of those scam artist mechanics to avoid.

I was told by the dealership my truck needed thousand of dollars of repairs due to leaking differentials. Took it to Nate and turns out the seals on them were perfectly fine and bone dry. He fixed another issue in the truck and after having it there for just 4 hours I on my way. Won’t be going to another mechanic, I have no problem recommending him to anyone

We have always brought our cars to Nate's, because he tells us upfront how much the repairs are going to be. And within a few dollars, he's right on the nose. If you need something expensive done, he usually can find a good reconditioned part, that's hundreds of dollars less. He's the Best.
