History
West Seattle Brake Service was opened by my grandfather, Ellis Thompson, in 1940 and was originally located at 3900 W Alaska in West Seattle. The phone was WE-9617. In 1950 my granddad moved to our current location at 4464 37th Ave SW where we have been since. My dad, Bill Thompson (Red), owned and operated West Seattle Brake Service from 1967 until I became proprietor in 1989. They cared about the community of West Seattle and built the business on their honesty and integrity. It's an honor for me to carry on for the family and important to serve my customers with those same standards. I don't plan on going anywhere for quite some time, so thank you for your continued business, I sincerely appreciate it. John Thompson
