Great respect

[Complete / General Auto Care]

I have great respect for the work they do at Clausen. When I switched over my records from having my car serviced at the dealership, they went through every page and made sure that the history was complete and thorough and there would be a seamless transition. They usually are able to accommodate my schedule and they have often given me a ride or a loaner car if they are going to take more than a brief amount of time to work. When I have waited in the lobby, they were quick and efficient. Their prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. They have helped me with many issues on different cars over the years.

Clausen Auto review

[Heating / AC system repairs]

First time to Clausen Automotive and they were very nice. The repair took longer than expected and they gave me a loaner car so I could go home and relax since I live an hour and a half away. The air conditioning is working great now and it’s nice to know of a good place that works on hybrids but doesn’t charge as much as the dealer. Thanks!

[Complete / General Auto Care]

I have had Clausen do repair work on my vehicles going back to 2011/2012 and they have always done a good job and charged a fair price. What’s cool now is that they send out videos and photos of problems and general condition level of critical parts they find during inspection so I can see what they see which is great!

2012 Subaru engine and transmission repair

[Engine Service / Repair]

Our 2012 Subaru Outback needed fairly extensive engine and transmission work recently. It developed the factory's chronic failures of heads and gaskets, and torque converter lockup, common to these range of Subaru models. The local dealership of this brand, where we bought it, insisted their repair had to include several expensive and un-necessary extra parts and work, for a greatly inflated cost. Checking a few popular engine repair shops, who all refused to discuss symptoms, each wanting the car to do their own diagnosis and go on to repair it, out of my hands. No interest in my research, testing and prelim repair work done already, and at their extra fees, of course. I remembered Clausen Automotive's repair on another car of mine 20+ years earlier, which resolved many A/C leaks with no further problems. I discussed my Subaru engine and transmission work with Clausen's Service Manager Cameron Draws, who was very good to talk with, discussed what was needed, good explanations of repairs, agreeable to my requests, of me taking pictures of work in progress, and saving parts. The total repair cost was reasonable and better than all others. Technician Nick repaired everything very well and saved every old part for me to keep. Cameron kept me informed of progress along the way, and was very personable and friendly all along, and afterwards for any questions. Clausen's 24mo/24K warranty was double all the other repair shops, which I take as being confident in the quality of their own work. It helped that Clausen Automotive is NAPA affiliated and AAA recommended, and now top of my list for future repair calls.

[Brake Repairs / Replacement]

Great service! I went in asking for brakes to be replaced or at least inspected. They told me I did NOT need new brakes for another 10-15k miles and offered to service them since there was uneven wear on the front. I opted for the service and it did help since the brakes felt a little weird beforehand. I’ll definitely return and I’m glad I can trust that they won’t offer or push services I don’t need.

First time customer

[Manual / Automatic Transmission Repairs]

I was having issues with my ‘02 Nissan Frontier. It suddenly lost drive and began missing before it ultimately stalled and would not start. I chose Clausen because they are close to my home and have excellent reviews. They were able to diagnose the problem as a timing issue and quickly had my vehicle up and running again. The only problem I had was I picked it up on a Friday and started having charging issues. They are closed on the weekends so I had to take it to get the charging system tested at advance auto and discovered the alternator is bad.I had no charging issues prior to this so I am hoping Clausens will stand behind their work. I’m confident they will. Good, knowledgeable, honest mechanics.

I was having issues with my engine not starting. I called and was able to get an appointment that day. They quickly diagnosed the problem and it wasn't the starter like I thought it was, But it was the battery. Knowing what I was coming in with they had already ordered a battery just in case for my car and within 45 minutes of me bringing the car in I was driving away and it starts. The associates that I worked with could not have been more thorough and also wonderful at describing the issues. I'm quite pleased.
