Recommended shops in northern WA?

Hi all.

I am looking for recommendations on shops in the Northwest Washington area. I have searched and seen a few people recommend Michael's Toyota of Bellevue, but these were for purchases. Anyone know about their service? Closer to the border would be ideal since I am coming down from Vancouver, BC.

Thanks.

Ahhhh. Can you not get a shop to do it in Surrey? I think Michael's is a good dealership, but you're going to pay dealership prices. That and I don't think they'll install outside parts. I know a few shops in the area I could recommend, but that's a bit of a drive. I have a bunch of friends in Bellingham. I'll ask them if they have any shops up there they'd recommend.

Thanks for your help. I could probably find a local shop but I was hoping to save on shipping (free shipping within the USA). I could bring it across the border but they may charge me duty so I figured I might as well get it installed when I'm down there. Where are the shops that you'd recommend? Much further than Seattle?

About the same distance. Len's Automotive. Good group of guys there. If you decide to go there (or any other shop), call them and make sure they're ok with you bringing in outside parts.
