About Our Auto Repair Shop
A Tri-Cities Mechanic Shop Committed to Honest Service & Complete Car Care
At 360 Automotive & Repair, we built our shop on three simple values: fairness, honesty, and reliability. We know taking your car in can feel uncertain — that's why we've made a clear promise to every customer who walks through our doors.
When you bring us a problem, we fix it. No runaround, no upselling, no guesswork. Our technicians listen to your concerns and address them directly with professional, quality repairs.
Beyond the immediate repair, we perform a comprehensive vehicle inspection to identify developing issues before they become costly problems. We'll walk you through our findings and tell you exactly what to watch for — because an informed driver is a confident one.
Honesty. Respect. Transparency. Accountability.
It's at the foundation of what we do.
We stay true to our values.
Our core values include taking shop pride, having fun, and operating with respect, honesty, integrity, professionalism, and intellectualism. These values hold us together and accountable to one another, vendors, and our customers.
Communication is key.
We will bring you into the shop to show you the recommended repairs/services and answer any questions that you may have. If you’re not able to be there in person, we'll send pictures and video recordings.Â
We guarantee our work.
We take pride in the work that we do and know you'll be happy with the outcome. That's why we guarantee all of our auto repair and maintenance work.
