About

Tri-Cities Automotive Repair, which began as Lock Out Automotive in 2013 and was renamed in 2016, is a woman-owned and family operated auto repair facility in Kennewick, WA offering a variety of auto repair and maintenance services for all vehicle makes and models.

Tim, one of the shop's owners, grew up building cars and auto racing with his mom, who had a love and passion for muscle cars. After learning basic maintenance from her, Tim's excitement for all aspects of auto repair grew. He later completed the automotive program at Tri-Tech Skill Center before graduating from the University of Oregon (UO). After college, Tim spent 13 years working for an international Fortune 500 automotive company, starting as an oil change tech and moving up to management. He then moved to Kennewick, WA and, shortly thereafter, opened up shop with his wife Deborah. They now work with local students to perpetuate automotive education.

Tri-Cities Automotive Repair provides clients with various auto repair and maintenance services, including A/C service, alignments and suspension, custom alignments, and calibrating sensors for late model cars after alignments, to name a few. The shop’s entire staff has many years of experience and training in providing top-notch auto repair and maintenance services, as well as various certifications and affiliations such as ASA, NFIB, and ASE. In fact, Tim himself has been ASE Certified in over 8 different areas since 2002!

We know that the smoke is awful, along with COVID 19. Many people do not want to leave the house. If you need work done on your vehicle, we can arrange to pick it up and drop it off without you needing to leave the house. This service is available Tuesday-Thursday. Please call us to schedule at 509-735-1616 or make an appointment request on our website. On that note, we are offering free cabin air filter, and engine air filter checks. These filters are going to be contaminated, and dirty quicker than usual due to the smoke in the air. Please stop by, no appointment needed, to have us check your cabin air filter and engine air filter.

We will be closing a few hours early today due to the smoke. The smoke does get into the shop, and reduces the air quality. We want to ensure we protect the health of our employees. If you need to schedule an appointment, please call and leave us a voice-mail with your contact information or fill out the appointment request form on our website. We appreciate your understanding. We will be back Monday to handle everyone's vehicle repair needs. Have a great weekend, and stay inside during all this!

★★★★★ "Timing belt and water pump was replaced. They didn't charge me for a part that broke during disassembly. They were very apologetic when they called saying it would take more time to get the replacement part. I give them high marks on their professionalism and will go their again when a repair is needed to my vehicles." - R. Z.
★★★★★ "Tri-Cities Automotive Repair helped me with a used car pre-purchase inspection, which included typical car interior/exterior/mechanical checks and a 4-mile test drive. They were very professional, friendly, and accommodated my request for photos of the car since I couldn't see it in person! The inspection report was easy to read and included many high quality photos. Kayla (the service manager) was super helpful and knowledgeable when I called with follow up questions about the inspection. Overall, the entire process was a pleasant experience and I really appreciated TCA's friendliness and willingness to thoroughly answer questions!" - L. M.

Our first donation for Mo’s Place Kicks for Kids! These shoes are going to foster children for holiday gifts. Many foster children have never gotten a new pair of shoes. Our community wants to change that! This customer dropped off 2 pairs of shoes, and got the cost of the shoes taken off his repair costs on his vehicle! All we need is a copy of your receipt, the shoes you donate, and the ticket that goes with them so they can go to the correct child. Don't forget to ask for a ticket or two when you drop off your vehicle for repairs. We will bring all shoes to Just Joel's after the donation drive is over on November 16th.
★★★★★ "excellent service" - P. O.
We donated 19 pairs of shoes to foster children in our area for Christmas! Prior to coming into foster care, many children have never had a new pair of shoes just for them. When we heard about the fundraiser, we decided to team up with Just Joel's and Mo's Place to help the best we can. Even the littlest impact can make the biggest difference in our community. It takes a village, and this is our village! Thank you to the customers who helped make this happen! We appreciate you, and will be contacting you soon. 💕
★★★★★ "A very trustworthy shop. Always a pleasure doing business here...thank you so much Tim, you are awesome " - D. N.
We got some new paintings on the walls! Stop in to check them out! Hand painted and sealed! 🙂
Thank you for continuing to support our small business. 🙂
★★★★★ "I live on the west side of the mountains and was looking at a used car in Tri-Cities. I scheduled a pre-buy inspection with Tri-Cities repair and I am glad I did as the car turned out to be a mess mechanically. The report they sent was very detailed and the owner even took time to explain the results to me. They saved me a lot of potential headaches. I would highly recommend them!" - B. S.
As you know, we've had these paintings hanging in the office. These were hand painted by our service advisor's mother. She is so incredibly talented! Today she sold her first painting that she had displayed in our office! She has been laid off work due to COVID, and we would love to show more support by selling more of her paintings during this time. She is bringing a new painting in soon to display, but until then please stop by if you'd like to purchase any of the others she has on display! 🙂
★★★★★ "Service was fabulous....done very timely and I couldn't be happier that they fixed the problem." - S.
★★★★★ "The only auto repair shop I trust to handle anything on my truck and my wife’ car. Best customer service up from that is always willing to answer any questions I have about work that my truck needs and out back the technicians really have it dialed in. Any time I have work done I am always given a detailed overview of what exact issues are in the vehicles and a detailed breakdown of the expenses so I can review my self. Have had my wife’s car taken in for some work a few times and everything from the detailed diagnostic to the finished work have been more than excellent! And when my truck needed trans line repairs, they had me back on the road the very next day. Highly recommend Tri-Cities Automotive Repair to anyone looking for professional mechanic work to be done on vehicles!" - C. D.
