Nate's Fast Forward Inc.

These guys are great! We had a little "incident" where my daughter's car ran out of gas and when I brought her the gas can, she did not notice that I had plugged the spout with a cork. She hands the gas can back to me and I'm like "where's the cap?". Oh, I don't think there was one...

Well, there was one! And now it is in the filler neck. I can see it with my little probing camera and filling the car with gas is a frustrating experience because it kicks off after about 2 seconds and you have to wait for the gas to get around the cork that is blocking the flow. This is a problem that needs a timely fix.

So I took the car to Nate's as my daughter has taken it here before and been very pleased with their services. I had taken a stab at removing the filler neck because I felt certain it was going to need a new one. At the very least, I felt that taking the filler neck out would be necessary to jiggle the cork back up towards the intake. This filler neck is a very pricey part, about $230 from the dealer.

A couple of hours later, Nate's gives me a call and tells me to come and get the car, it's ready. Turns out, through some ingenuity and patience, they were able to get the cork out WITHOUT removing or replacing the filler neck!!! This saved us a ton of money!

I will definitely be going back to Nate's Fast Forward with my cars now too, they really did help us get out of a jam.

I had been having trouble with my windshield wipers for a couple months now, and the parts that I had ordered for it were unfortunatly not fixing the problem. I just wanted them fixed at this point, so I called Nate's and was told to come in and that it was first come first serve. I live realtivly close so I dropped it off immediatly and was called a few hours later that it was ready. The service was great. I'm so glad I can drive in this rainy weather again!! Thank you to everyone at Nate's who helped me today :)

Probably our new local shop. We've been on the lookout for a trusty mechanic since we moved to the area 3 years ago. Nate's took care of our car when it finally decided to not start anymore after a few weeks of intermittent problems. The guy I spoke with (Nate I'm guessing) was straightforward about how long he thought it would take, provided an estimate once he had an idea of what needed to be done, and the pricing was fair. It's been maybe 2 weeks since, and my Element starts without hesitation now. His work took away the low-key anxiety out of driving the car somewhere ("what if it doesn't start if I have an emergency"), and that's worth a whole lot to me.

I'm going to start taking the old girl to them for her usual high mileage maintenance. As far as I'm concerned, they have earned my repeat business.

Outstanding service and integrity!

I am incredibly grateful for this mechanic's honesty and expertise. They not only provided great and honest pricing, but they also went the extra mile by rotating my tires. They noticed I needed it and rotated them. What truly impressed me was their integrity when another big name shop claimed I needed new calipers, which turned out to be unnecessary. This mechanic saved me from unnecessary expenses and proved their commitment to providing accurate and reliable service. Highly recommend their exceptional service!

Great small town auto shop! Owner and operator Nate is an excellent mechanic who REALLY knows his cars. Reasonable prices with quality service. Don't want to wait in the waiting area? Grab some snacks from Norm's, nextdoor, and walk across the street to Lundeen Park on beautiful Lake Stevens and relax in a covered shelter or lounge on the beach watching ducks swim. Who could ask for more?

I have brought several cars to Nate for repair, and I just finished having him do an inspection on a new used car I bought. Nate is friendly, fast, reliable, and most important, HONEST. His no-nonsense approach gives me confidence that he isn't interested in making extra cash off of unnecessary repairs. He works quickly, and we always got our vehicles back the same day. I highly recommend and will absolutely continue bringing our car to him whenever we need a repair done.

1/25/23 - Took my 2016 Equinox to Nate’s Fast Forward that was stalling. He diagnosed the problem and repaired it within 1 hr and was fair and honest!
He showed me the failed part and explained the repair process fully.
I highly recommend Nate’s Fast Forward for your auto repairs for an honest mechanical experience!

Straight shooter! Keeps things honest and upfront. I've taken my car here 2 times before and I don't see myself going anywhere else. It is first come first serve which I feel should be a given and with my personal experience, he was able to get the work I needed to be done on my vehicle within a day. This man serves his community and the community knows who to come to

Needed a new alternator and Nate got my car in right away, was super knowledgeable and was great at communicating my need. Fixed and I was able to be on the road! Fair pricing as well! Much appreciated this quick fix!

I try my best to shop local and use local businesses, and Nate's is no exception. I called Nate to see if I could get my truck in because it didn't pass emissions. He said "sure".
We dropped the truck off after hours and it was ready by the next afternoon (he even had time to do a few other needed repairs). We passed emissions and tabbed the truck.
Thank you, Nate, for your diligence in getting my truck back on the road. You rock!!

Had an exhaust leak that was taken care of quickly!

Dropped in at a moment's notice to get my truck looked at when my wheel started feeling like it was about to fall off down the street from him. He got me right in and answered with what's going on very quickly. Am normally cautious about going to a new place and read the reviews after dropping it off. I guess I can see what people are saying with him coming off as short, but I need a Good mechanic, not a new best friend. Guy knew his stuff and didn't try and sell me on anything unecessary, gave me an approximation on how long I can get away with driving as is. Will go back to him for all future work.

An honest mechanic, we dropped in out of the blue and Nate got our truck in right away for a evaluation, He found Everything that needed repairs and I mean everything he went over the beast with a fine tooth comb , Great price for great work !

I have been here several times now for different vehicles and have always had great service. I believe that this is a shop that can be trusted.

My air conditioning compressor and clutch broke and Nate was able to replace them for less than quoted and in less than five hours after dropping it off. Very impressed and would recommend to anyone!

Went to a big name brand repair shop this morning for an oil change and none of the mechanics could drive a stick shift! A frind recommend Nate’s and he was able to 1. Drive a stick (shouldn’t all mechanics?) lol and 2. Do fair work for a fair price, in a reasonable time frame. I love supporting small local business and he even took the time while writing up paperwork to talk to my 9 year old and answer some questions about things in his shop. This is a no frills place, but that’s just fine with me. You won’t find an espresso machine, but rather a man that knows his way around a car! I will be going back in the future for all our our car repairs and matainace. Today he made a customer for life! Thanks for taking care of our family car!

My suv broke down due to blown water pump, couldn't find a more honest mechanic than Nate if you tried.Fair pricing, efficient service, and will not try to upsell you. He has my business and I will refer others for as long as I can.

Late night break down, towed to Nate's. Had it back the next day, very happy with the quality of the parts/repairs and fair price.

Brought my car in for some exhaust repair. Was quick and very reasonable priced. I will definitely go there again if I need any other car repairs!

Nate was friendly and really quick in replacing my muffler with a gear price. I would highly recommend this place and definitely come back.
