The Panacea Automotive Repair

Stanley said this business always works with him to accommodate his schedule which is nice. They explain what is wrong and how much it will cost. They answer questions in a way he understands. The staff is friendly and professional.

Steve and Chris listen, think and make appropriate recommendations. Their service is top notch and I am a very satisfied customer still driving my 2005 Honda with low mileage

My husband and I have been taking our cars to Panacea for a couple years now. I would never take my car to anyone else they're helpful they're friendly they're reasonable it's always done right. Francis my mother-in-law's car was just fixed ticket for a test drive and it wouldn't start, call them up they were there within 2 minutes fix the problem ask him what I owed him for the the charge they said no charge. That's a great mechanic thank you Panacea

Fit me in on very short notice to get a battery replaced. I really appreciated Steve making room for me in an already busy schedule.

I was leaving on a trip and had a radiator leak. Steve diagnosed it quickly and ordered a new radiator and had it installed so I could go on my trip as planned.

The challenge for Panacea is to do the best job they can do. I have never been disappointed in the work they have done for me in the last 17 years.

Steve Hazel is an exceptionally talented professional who has continued to demonstrate truthful, reliable and excellent service for the 20 years I have known him. This last visit his employees went above and beyond with their explanations of my service and gave expert advice on how to maintain my older car moving into winter and beyond. I feel assured every time I visit that I will receive a very fair assessment and service that excels. I also trust that Steve and his employees exercise their service with high ethical standards in a very friendly, kind manner.

Awesome service. Employees are friendly and professional.

John said the business does a good job, but they are on the pricey side.

Today I had several special requests related to my son's oldest car. They were all handled well - including an A/C problem, a coolant leak problem, a coolant sensor question, and advice regarding a Turn Signal electrical shorting problem. I also asked for an update on the status of the brakes and whether the oil needed changing (seven months since the last change but only a few miles). As always, Panacea provided both the repairs and the information about the car we needed promptly and at a fair price.
This is the second Seattle car owned by my son that has been serviced here in the last couple of weeks. We swap our cars around between Seattle and Bellingham so we can bring them to Panacea for maintenance.

Brakes and an oil change were done this time. The mystery of a scraping sound was solved in the process (a pebble was lodged in the RF brake caliper). A malfunctioning HVAC door actuator was also diagnosed and repaired. And the guys took a look at a rear washer nozzle for me - and recommended that it be left alone (it was functional, and any improvement would not justify the labor cost involved.) I agree.
This is a Seattle car that my son likes me to bring to Panacea whenever there is significant work to be done. He said the other day: "I wish those guys were down here". Of course, we in Bellingham are fortunate that those guys are "up here".
If you're looking for a trustworthy auto mechanic - this is the place. I've been taking the family's cars here for several years now and have never been disappointed.
FYI, you can often hear the owner from 9 - 10 am on Saturday mornings on KGMI 930 AM on the "In the Shop With the Auto Guys" program.)

Denne said the employees were very good, very kind, and she appreciated them very much.

Oil changed and squeak diagnosed to bad idler on serpentine belt. Repair done in less than a day.

Justice said the business was good. He just got an estimate.

Performed only the work they felt was needed, offered advice against work I thought was needed. Thank you.
