5 Ways Yakima Valley Locals Can Get Pro Services for Less

With the price of everything skyrocketing these days, it only makes sense to be a savvy shopper, especially if you live in the Yakima Valley.

There are five areas of professional services that I've come to realize it's worth the wait, especially if you want to get your hair done your car fixed massages, dental work, or legal aid and tax prep.

Inside this guide, you'll see five places where you can go to save money yet still get professional quality services done.

Auto Repairs

You can go to a trade school for auto service and repairs, like YV Tech. Just know that there might be a waitlist and these aren't same day services because automotive tech students are learning how to fix cars in class.

If your car needs major repairs, it might not be the best fit for this type of deal, but it's worth a try. I got my car fixed by them years ago and it took a couple of months, but it was worth it to keep my car running at the time. 1120 S 18th St

Beauty Salon Services

Evergreen Beauty College offers salon services for a fraction of the price you'd pay at most salons. They are learning, so an instructor will be standing by to assist as they develop professional skills to use after graduation. I've gotten a hair trim and roller set there before. 401 North First St in Yakima.

Dental Work

Yakima Valley College offers dental services for a fraction of the price by allowing students train on real people. Fair warning, these services will take a few hours and you might need to come back for more than one session. The money you'll save though, is worth the wait!

Dental services are available for adults, teens, and children, including exams, cleanings, x-rays, and fillings. Low-cost fees apply, and state insurance is accepted.

Legal Aid & Tax Prep

Call the Northwest Justice Project for legal and eviction assistance. 311 N 4th St #201 in Yakima.
