A full-service shop, a short drive from Mukilteo

KC Martin Automotive has been fixing cars in Lynnwood since 1948, and Mukilteo drivers have been part of our customer list for most of that time. Whether you live near the lighthouse in Old Town or up in Harbour Pointe, we’re down the Mukilteo Speedway and a few minutes along 196th.

It doesn’t matter what is wrong or what kind of vehicle you own. The shop is ready to handle it, so you don’t have to hesitate. Call or send a request and we’ll set a time.

Hills, salt air and the ferry line

Mukilteo is a beautiful place to live and a demanding place to own a car.

  • The hill. The long grade down to the waterfront and back up is tough on brakes and transmissions. If you smell hot brakes at the bottom or feel a shudder on the way up, have us take a look.
  • Salt air. Corrosion shows up sooner near the water, especially on exhaust systems, brake lines and suspension hardware.
  • Idling. Waiting for the ferry is easy on your nerves and hard on your battery and cooling system.

We check all of it whenever your car is in, and we’ll tell you what’s fine, what to watch and what needs attention now.

What Mukilteo drivers bring us

Plan it around your day

Most Mukilteo customers drop the car on the way to work and pick it up on the way home. If that doesn’t fit, leave it the evening before and put the keys in the drop box. We’ll call or email once we’ve looked at it, and nothing gets done without your OK.

We work hard to do right by our customers with every service. That’s how a shop lasts more than 75 years.
