Integrity Auto Repair
began with
a simple belief—our belief that there is a better way to run an auto repair
shop. Founder Nate Bean spent many long years learning his craft. Nate earned
a degree in Automotive Mechanics at Lake Washington Vocational Technical
College, and started his first job in the industry, as a service station
technician, in 1985. By 1988 he earned the distinction of Certified Technician
from the
National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE), and in
1991 obtained the ASE Master Technician Certification. During this time, Nate
developed his dream of opening a different type of business, one that values
customer relationships and thoroughly understands the intangibles that matter to
you—reliability, safety, peace of mind, trustworthiness and convenience.
Integrity
Auto Repair
opened our
Issaquah Service Center in 1998 with two employees, Nate and his wife Susan.
After just six weeks of operations they hired another technician, and the
business has been growing ever since. In August, 2002 the expanded Issaquah
Service Center opened on 221st Place SE in the heart of Issaquah. Integrity now
has 10 full-time employees, we have serviced more than 40,000 vehicles, and our
6 ASE certified technicians have an average of 24 years’ experience.
One thing will
always remain the same—our mission at Integrity Auto
Repair is to make getting your vehicle serviced or repaired a more pleasant and
less confusing experience.
