Cohesive Garage

My family and I have been bringing our cars here for the last 3 years! Went in for some maintenance work and of course, they never disappoint. Always honest, fast and well… Honest. I’ve had countless average and less than average experiences prior to coming here so it’s nice to NOT have to worry about that when it comes to your car!
We all know that when something negative happens regarding your mode of transportation… All hell can break loose. Luckily I don’t have to worry coming here!
Thank you guys at cohesive!

Great quote! Great service! Noah proved himself to be a friendly, trustworthy professional.

Was having an issue with my 05 Acura RL and wanted to make sure what the dealer told me was accurate and that I wasn’t getting ripped off. ALL of the great Unilocal reviews led me to talk to Cohesive Garage for a second opinion. I’m glad I went… Noah was very helpful! In an industry of dishonest crooks, Noah @ Cohesive Garage stands out from the crowd with honest, straight forward feedback. He took the time to test drive my car not once, but twice! In addition, he put it up on the rack to try to re-​create the noise I was hearing. He was able to confirm that it had been correctly diagnosed and provided me with a competitive quote. Noah possesses the rare combination of automotive expertise, honesty and fairness. As we all know, in the auto repair world… that’s like finding a friggin unicorn! I highly recommend Cohesive Garage and won’t hesitate to bring my (and my girlfiend’s car) there again in the future. Oh and one more thing… he didn’t charge me for his time to diagnose the issue. For his much appreciated efforts, he has earned a lifelong customer!!! If you’re at all skeptical of all the great reviews on here… don’t be, they’re all 100% LEGIT!!! You’ll see for yourself when you take your car in.
Cheers!

Lowered my ’15 M4 and aligned. This is a perfect outfit because the owner is passionate about his work and it shows in every aspect from planning to execution.
I would recommend highly! HIGHLY!

If I could give 6 stars I would. Noah is awesome, goes above and beyond. Far exceeded my expectations, which were pretty high, I won’t lie! All these 5 star reviews. My car has never run better. He pro actively found issues and knew what to do before I had even said anything. He should be called the engine whisperer or the highway magnet. Or something. Also, he’s always got some chill beats pumping through his sweet garage. Totally gonna take care of you.
Best.
Mechanic.
Ever.

Amazing experience, as good as getting your car repaired can be. Noah is upfront about what’s wrong, doesn’t try to pressure you into spending more money than you have to and works fast and well. He also is a great guy to talk to, when I showed up a bit early he gave me a great recommendation on a couple local places to check out.
No reason to take your car anywhere else.

Because of this Unilocal rating, I decided to go to this shop to fix my car. Noah sucked. They couldn’t fix my car and we waited for more than two weeks. They don’t know what’s wrong with it, and they didn’t bother to try hard to fix it. I think they’re good at fixing simple car problems, but not complicated car problems. More than two weeks, my car just parked there. Absolutely disappointed, took it back this morning and now we’re looking at our other options to find reliable and trustworthy car mechanic than this one.

Noah again does not fail to impress: my car was experiencing an elusive problem, and Noah was the only one to track it down and successfully remedy it– again, at an excellent price!
I won’t bother with the details, other than to say that my initial comments were strongly reinforced. If you need a good mechanic who values helping people with their cars as much (if not more) as the money he makes on the work, go to Cohesive!

Super friendly and quick like ninja! I stopped by without an appointment and I walked out not only with my car fixed but an unbelievably low bill. Do yourself a favor and go here.

Noah just did an awesome job ! My lexus RX was diagnosed by the dealer to a crazy repair bill, but Noah took care of the most urgent issues and told me the other problems weren’t that serious, and the car drives great. I’ll definitely come to him in the future.
F.Y.I, he is the most civilized mechanic I’ve ever seen so far, period.

I myself found this Gem from Unilocal.And was looking for a spot to have my Honda Accord worked on. So I called Noah the owner and asked if he could install my front lip and Injen Intake and he said yes. Arrived to the shop for my appointment and Noah was very friendly and got right to work. The shop office was very nice and comfortable. Noah knows his stuff and definitely deserves all the great reviews he has earned. The installation went smooth and I was off. Fair prices for the quality of work! Would definitely recommend this place for your auto needs.
Thanks again Cohesive Garage!

I have to admit, I’m 28 years old and I’d never taken my car to a mechanic. I’m that lazy girl who always makes my dad or boyfriend do it for me, which worked fine as long as I was living in California. But then I moved to Seattle. And I drive my car about a million miles a year.
I knew it needed an oil change, maybe breaks and the little «maintenance required» light was on, so I decided to be a grown up and find myself a place to take my car (thanks Unilocalers for making it an easy decision!). I called and set up a time to bring it in on my day off to get it check out. Noah was super friendly on the phone and didn’t make me feel like a moron girl when I actually said the words «the little maintenance light thingy is on — I don’t know what my car wants.»
I dropped my car off — 30 minutes after I was supposed to — hey, it’s hard to way up on your day off sometimes! I had a friend pick me up and went about my day. A few hours later, Noah gave me a call to ask what I wanted him to do, because it seemed I really needed new rotors but my break pads had plenty of life left. I told him OK to get the rotors done/​change the oil/​whatever else he thought it needed. A few more hours later he called to let me know it was done but since I couldn’t get a ride back right away, he let me give him my CC number over the phone and I came to pick up the car after hours. The whole thing cost me way less than I was expecting and as if everything being perfect already wasn’t good enough, he sent me an email later that day saying that he’d noticed one of my brake lights was out and forgot to fix it but if I swung by whenever I had time, he’d take care of it for free. Awesome, right? I didn’t end up doing that because I instead made a friend do it at home for me (lazy girl here, remember?), but I seriously appreciated that he offered.

Noah is, in one word, the BOMB. I live in Tacoma, he’s in West Seattle…’nuff said. I had heard through the grapevine that I needed to reach out to him as I had a service due on my Lexus. I originally called the dealership to see what the damage would be and thought maybe I was better off selling the car. But seriously, I decided to take the chance and see if Noah had some availability and he was able to get me in rather quickly, especially considering he’s a one man show. And might I just add, he charged me HALF, yep HALF what the dealership quoted me. I mean, I know dealerships rape you, but this one was a no brainer.
He performed the same checks, but only swapped out things that needed it and a new wiper that I requested be changed. Noah is quick, reliable, friendly and just an all around awesome guy. I’ve got another service due, well, er… overdue and I’ll definitely be making the journey to W Seattle for the piece of mind service I get from Noah.
Thanks Cohesive Garage!

I brought my 2012 VW GTI to Cohesive Garage to have a set of coilovers and a turboback exhaust system installed. Noah is very experienced with my car model and did an awesome job with the installations. He even went the extra mile to help me adjust my suspension numerous times to get it just the way I wanted it. I totally recommend this shop and I will be visiting him again for my next installations!

Had my wheel spacers installed by Noah today. Excellent job!
Noah is not just an awesome mechanic, he’s an upstanding guy to do business with. I’ve been to a lot of mechanics in all my years of fixing cars and Noah is at the top of my list!
I’ll certainly visit him again for soon for track prep!

Noah continues to impress me with his fast and excellent service! I slid into a curb during the snow storm in January, and totally rendered my VW Golf immobile. My insurance company towed it to Les Schwabb Tires in Ballard — who quoted the damage at $ 1300. Yikes. So immediately I called Noah — and I’m so glad I did! He replaced the bent axle (!), among other things, and had me back in my car in just 2 days! He also saved me so much money! I knew I was going to spend a significant amount of money on the repairs — but he beat Les Schwabb’s price by about $ 500!
I can’t recommend this place enough. One of the best things about Cohesive Garage is I trust Noah to advise me on what really needs to be done to the car. From a consumer stand point, I really appreciate that. I’m on a tight budget and my car isn’t worth a whole lot — Noah recognizes that and provides service accordingly. It is obvious that he is truly trying to help me — not just make money. Best mechanic ever!

Snowmagedon 2012 Jan 17^th. I get off work and pick up a couple new tires for my old Ford Taurus thinking all is good and getting ready to go Rally in some parking lots ! Good plan right? Apparently nobody told my car, I started to hear a strange rattling sound in my engine compartment :(after having someone take a quick look at it, i’m informed that my water pump is on its way out and needs to be replaced soon. So I called up my usual mechanic and turns out he’s sick, luckily I have a few days off work to be snowed in so I park my American Classic out front and turn to Unilocal to find a shop.
Cohesive Garage– 8 –5 star ratings, and all of them raving about this Noah guy… hmmm maybe they are all his buddies I think, but I decide to give him a call anyway and i’m sure glad that I did. My first phone call went a little like this…
Me– Hey if your not too busy I was wondering if I could get an estimate on a water pump replacement for my Taurus.
Noah– To be honest I don’t know the exact numbers off hand, but i’ll tell you this, i’ll do it for as cheap as possible.
Noah then continued to quote me some standard numbers for the part and his hourly rate and gave me a baseline estimate that seemed to me to be VERY fair and reasonable. We set up an apt and I was on my way to getting things fixed… or so I thought.
Couple days pass and my Appointment is coming up and the snow and ice has been coming in heavy. I wake up early throw the chains on my ride and am hoping that the shop is still going to be open for business. After a short phone call with Noah he let me know that if I could make it in, he would be there to fix my car. I dropped it off, He fixed it, done deal.
This guy is a straight shooter, with fair pricing thats not trying to jack you around. I called and got one other estimate for this same job at Midus and they wanted $ 230 more. If you need your car worked on and you live anywhere near Cohesive Garage (or not) bring your ride to Noah and he will hook you up.

I moved to the West SYDE– a year and a half ago, not knowing: where to get my oil changed, where to find a decent bowl of Phở and many other things that I took for granted in Ballard for the past 10 years.
So, when I began asking the locals where to take my car for an oil change, most of them said things like Midas, Jiffy Lube and «I just take it to the dealer». Well, for me this won’t do. So, I had been just loading up the wagon’s and continuing North to Matt’s in Greenwood. I mean when you find a place you can trust not to jerk you around, well, it’s like finding buried treasure… GOLD, thar’s GOLD in them thar hills…
ANYHOO– my car was in desperate need of a change, and I called to make an appt with Matt, but nothing in his schedule worked with mine. So, I checked good ol’ Unilocal here folks– and came across the reviews of Cohesive– and I’m so glad I did.
Noah, is honest and gives it to you straight. He’s conveniently located to the West Side folk, and he can shoot the shizit. Great guy, whom I will definitely trust my Honda Pilot with in the future.

Definitely the best experience I have ever had getting my car worked on. I recommend this place to everyone now. Noah saved me hundreds of dollars off of what other places had quoted me on the rear suspension of my Lincoln Towncar. His high-​quality, low-​cost work made it so I could actually keep my car instead of buying a new one.
Since my car is ancient and falling apart I bring it to him regularly now for everything from a leaking sun roof to aging brake pads. Noah has fixed everything super quick for super cheap without sacrificing good workmanship. I would say that Cohesive Garage is an all around excellent experience for the customer.

The shop owner is what really makes this place; he’s really a dependable, affable guy. He really seems to know his stuff about whatever car you bring him (and I’ve brought him some odd ones) and doesn’t speak to you in a way that makes you feel confused.
I highly recommend this place.
