Pros

Can actually help solve problems on your vehicle instead of just direct you elsewhere. Such as alignment, suspension parts needing replaced, diagnostics on the tires/wheels.

Cons

Doesn't have a ton of locations so warranties can be challenging. Open 7 days a week.

Pros

This company organize team lunch on each festival that you do not need to pay yourself. Good location in Mercer Island WA, nearby the QFC, Thai restaurant, subway etc., so many parks you can walk around. The parking is free and the bathroom is clean. The cleaning lady pick up the trash everyday to keep the office clean. The office is very safe in the evening. No other Pros I can think... I list these pros because I had a good memory over there, not for working, but for my life.

Cons

The business shut down in September 2024, but the corporation still exists. Let me clarify some things—please be patient. This company is extremely strict about attendance and punctuality, so be cautious. The accounting department is one of the least appreciated parts of the organization. The CEO tends to focus only on the sales side of the business. For context, it’s not the accounting department that places inventory orders—this is usually done by the retail or sales teams. However, when bills pile up and the company struggles to pay them, the accounting team often gets blamed unfairly. Sales and retail staff generally earn competitive wages compared to market standards, but accounting salaries are near the bottom for the Seattle area. That should tell you something. The key takeaway from my experience: don’t overwork yourself here. Use this job to gain experience, then move on to something better. Management is lacking across the board. There’s little to no understanding of how to lead people. They can be reactive and unprofessional, sometimes raising their voice or making threats—not when you make a mistake, but when you simply upset them. They act as if hierarchy justifies this behavior, but outside of work, we’re all equals. They frequently issue vague threats about termination if you're not completely compliant. What they don’t understand is that their most valuable asset might be the underpaid and hardworking accounting staff, who provide stability while getting minimal recognition or support. Meanwhile, sales and store staff regularly work overtime—sometimes intentionally—not necessarily being productive, just socializing. Even though management noticed and attempted to address this, no real changes occurred. In contrast, accounting staff often put in extra hours without any overtime pay or added benefits. Instead, they’re simply told, “This is your job. Take it seriously.” One especially frustrating experience: promotions that don’t come with a raise. They say your workload will increase, but your pay stays the same. This issue seems to affect only the accounting team. Many team members have master’s degrees, yet their salaries are comparable to fast food workers in the area—who, to be fair, at least receive tips. Starting salaries range from $16.69 to $21.15 per hour, regardless of your degree. After a couple of years, you might see a small raise to $23.05 per hour. For those unfamiliar with Seattle’s cost of living, this is barely above the minimum wage. I asked for a raise several times but was told the company was on a budget. Oddly, despite this so-called budget, the company spent large amounts on tires and wheels that it couldn't sell and eventually had to return at a loss. They also continued repairing an old 2008 truck instead of replacing it, and when they finally bought a new one in 2022, it was via a 72-month loan for a small, low-cost vehicle. Now that the company has closed, they’re still paying it off and can’t even sell the truck until the loan is settled. It’s an unfortunate example of poor decision-making. Employees were often overworked and undervalued. Many in the sales and store departments acted as “yes-men”—agreeing to everything but changing nothing. The company is no longer in operation, so this is all in hindsight. Rating: 2 out of 5 stars One star for the positive memories I made during those years. One star for personal reasons. I'm no longer with the company, and I'm grateful that chapter is closed.
