Worth the drive from Mill Creek
We’ll be upfront: KC Martin Automotive isn’t in Mill Creek. We’re in Lynnwood, one freeway exit south of 164th. Mill Creek drivers come to us anyway, and have for decades, because they want a shop that has seen it all, tells them the truth about their car and doesn’t charge dealership prices.
All makes and models of cars and trucks can be diagnosed, fixed and maintained right here, from oil changes and alignments to transmissions and diesels.
Commuter miles are hard miles
A lot of Mill Creek’s driving is stop-and-go: the Bothell-Everett Highway, 164th, the crawl onto I-5. Car makers call that “severe service,” and it changes what your car needs.
- Brakes wear faster in traffic than on the open road.
- Engine oil and transmission fluid break down sooner.
- Batteries and cooling systems work harder at idle.
We look up the schedule for your exact vehicle and tell you which services really apply to the way you drive, and which can wait.
Family vehicles and factory maintenance
SUVs, crossovers and minivans do most of the work in Mill Creek, and many of them are still under warranty. You don’t have to go back to the dealer to keep it. We perform 30K, 60K and 90K services to the factory schedule and give you the records.
We work on every make, including the Jeeps, Dodges and Ram trucks we see a lot of from this part of the county.
