They are unwaveringly honest people who will work on your car for a solid fair price. The shops in Portland wanted hundreds of dollars more for the same job that Greentree performed flawlessly. I will always spend the extra money on gas to drive to them because I know they will give me the best price for the job and I can completely trust them. Thank you Greentree!

Helpful, Always there in an emergency, fantastic service; Les Schwab is always customer oriented!…read more Desperately needing to get out of the house, and Portland, after four months of COVID-19 quarantine, headed out to Hood River on our first sunny, 80 degree day. About 10 miles from Hood River my "smart" vehicle started beeping loudly, flashing a message to pull over and get assistance because tire pressure was low. While I've had messages like this before if the tire pressure goes 2 points low, it has never beeped and flashed non stop for 30 minutes! It was alarming. After calling the service department for my vehicle, and being told I wasn't in imminent danger, I continued to Hood River to find a gas station with an air pump. After two failed attempts to locate, we saw Les Schwab and I knew instantly they would help. We entered the office, everyone was wearing masks, they were enforcing social distancing and all state guidelines. The receptionist told me to pull my car up and said one of the workers would be over to check my tires and adjust the pressure. Within minutes, Mario appeared, checked the door panel for appropriate pressure, and filled all four tires. Took less than a minute and we were back on the road, annoying beeping sound gone, and we felt safer knowing our tires were at the appropriate pressure levels. No charge for the air! They provided this service even though they were busy, just to help us out. Thank you, Les Schwab and Mario!

Pros: Service was done quickly, and apparently well, when I went through and checked on everything afterwords. I appreciated that they sprayed some sealant on the battery terminals. The price was very fair. Excellent cookies in office. I ate too many :) Cons: At that price, I don't know what brand of oil they put in, or even the weight and viscosity. None of this was mentioned, nor was I asked for my preference. I have a check engine light on, which was there previously. I was expecting them to at least notice and comment on it, but it was ignored. On the bulletin board in the front office there is some anti-yelp propaganda, which to me seemed paranoid and offensive. I think it is excellent that consumers can review businesses and warn each other about the bad ones so easily. Its good for the consumer, its good for competition, and I frankly don't see a problem. If this 4 star review gets deleted, as was claimed would happen in that posting on the their wall, I guess that will mean there is some ring of truth to it. At least for a simple oil change, they did just fine for me.

Sorry previous reviewer, Expertec demonstrates neither integrity or honesty…read more As a woman bringing a car to a mechanic, I expect to get a little bit of run around, that's why I am upfront about my problem(s) and my expectations. I am new to town and looking for a mechanic; this is not them. My first problem with them started when the manager tried to hint strongly that my vehicle may have an issue unrelated to what I brought the car in for (that I happen to know is quite expensive in man-hours and I know is common to my make/model--instantly shady), that my car currently had no symptoms for. Expertec then decided to further take advantage of me by clearly ignoring my straightforward repair request and performing an unnecessary additional 2 hour diagnostic on my vehicle, charging me the full hourly price for merely hooking my car up to a code-reader. I have the $45 scanner at home: I am capable of doing an internet search and being familiar with an engine. It was entirely unnecessary for them to need 2 hours of diagnostic work (doing what? It doesn't take two hours to run codes!)--especially without informing me prior--to determine the same problem I came in asking to have fixed. They also did not have common parts in stock and needed to keep my car overnight for the undemanding repair ($20 engine thermostat). When they called with the "prognosis" of my initial problem, they informed me they hadn't even looked at my second request (an issue with the electronics module in the door). Had I let them continue with my vehicle, they wouldn't have identified my second issue until the following day--where they (again) wouldn't have had the part in stock and would need to keep my vehicle yet a third day. Expertec, you come off shady, unprofessional, and willing to take advantage of the well-intentioned. This is not how you do business in a small town. I've since learned they have this reputation in town. Recommendation: Stay away!
