FAME’s History

From humble beginnings to FAME.

FAME (Foreign Auto Mechanical Engineers) was started in a driveway in Redmond, Washington in early 1984. It didn’t take long before it was apparent that that location was outgrown, let alone un-neighborly. A brand new automotive complex was being built in Kirkland, on Rose Hill just off the 405 freeway on 85th Street.

That became the first official shop location, opening our doors on March 15, 1985. Being in an automotive complex, we felt the need to expand and/or move around within the confines of the compound. We branched into a glass shop on the far end of the original location. Soon after that, we acquired the business (a detailing shop called ‘The AutoMint’) in the middle of the same building, built a mezzanine for parts and eventually outgrew our parking capabilities.

In 1992, we moved to our current spot in Redmond, WA where we have been since. Only one addition has happened while here – the creation of DynoAuthority, the Northwest’s premier All-Wheel-Drive Chassis Dynamometer. This two-bay addition has had the attention of automotive enthusiasts of ALL kinds.

We’ve worked with some of the most exotic cars on the planet as well as participating in the creation of some of today’s top car racing video games. All this while still maintaining the original focus of top service and maintenance for primarily European cars.
