I've used Apex in Ballard, also Service First in Ballard.

there's another shop on Roosevelt across from the Safeway on the north end...can't remember the name. but all have done a good job, work on various Euro cars. prices vary...but the work was done right the first time.

Specialty Motors on 15th NE near NE125th will give you reliable service. Ask to talk to the owner, who spends most of the time in the shop. Some of the things they do seem a bit pricey but that's because they tend to do things by the book with quality parts so that they can guarantee the work.

Another vote on TecShop, great people , took my 93 Eurovan there a couple of times until I decided to sell it and focus on the Syncro. Very happy with their service
