if you realy want to know the truth about petersens auto in port angeles just ask the mechanics that work there( im talking about how the shop is ran ) first of all mike will over charge the cust. and add extra parts & labor to your bill . one cust. car was checked out by mike petersen and was told she needed new backing plates,rear brake pads & rotors in fact none of the work needed to be done infact the rear brake pads where almost new, any way the job payed 12.0 hours for a 5 hour job , after i told mike petersen that the work was not needed he told me that he needed the money if you dont beleve that just ask around town befor you take your car there. on a kinda good note the 10.00 oil change is worth it but bring your own oil

A friend from California broke down in his 87 Westfalia when in Port Angeles in May 2010. Took it to this shop. The guy quoted him $14000 for a new engine, and when he couldn't pay that much, stole the car from him for $1750. His cost to repair probably would have been no more than $4000, and he will sell it for $15000+ and it will likely take him a day to do the work. $9000 profit for a days work. Nice job if you can get it. I feel really sorry for my naive friend who lost his nice Westfalia to this snake in the grass. I would have paid him $5000 and fixed it myself had I known.
