Most recently, for various reasons, I felt that I probably needed a new battery (or alternator!), but they indicated that both were fine. Also, I mentioned that my car (a second vehicle) probably needed an oil change. After checking, they stated "Nope, good for another 3000 miles." It would have been easy to take advantage, but they did not. I happily paid the $45 inspection and testing fee. Look, if you need a solid business to maintain your car, I don't think that you can do better. Two thumbs up and five stars all the way.

Oakmont Service Center - A Referral That Fell Short…read moreReferrals are the backbone of any reputable business, especially in the world of classic cars. I own a 1949 Chevy, and like many classic car owners, I rely heavily on trusted recommendations. Skilled mechanics who truly understand vintage vehicles are rare in our area, especially since the retirement of one of the most respected classic specialists Eugene has ever had. Oakmont Service Center came recommended by a respected transmission expert, and my first interaction with Jerremy, the manager, was positive. My initial visit--radiator exchange, exhaust leak repair, and a minor carburetor adjustment--went smoothly, and meeting the two mechanics who handle classics gave me confidence in the referral. That confidence didn't last. A Breakdown and a Missed Diagnosis During a casual weekend drive, my Chevy wouldn't start after a coffee stop. After checking the usual suspects with no luck, I called Jerremy. The car was towed in, and it took two days before Eric looked at it. Because I'd had a starter issue in the past, he removed and reinstalled the starter without performing a full diagnostic. A professional approach would have been to verify the actual cause rather than rely on history. The real issue was the distributor. I chose to upgrade to an electronic module and coil. Eric removed the distributor and sent it to a shop in Cottage Grove for the upgrade. When it returned, I made it clear--in front of Eric, Jerremy, and Mike (the owner)--that if there were any questions, they should call the builder directly. No call was ever made. Critical Steps Missed The builder later informed me that Oakmont suggested they "needed to get into the engine," which was unnecessary and incorrect. The distributor had been installed improperly, and a firewall-mounted module was still running six volts--something any experienced classic mechanic would have caught immediately. The car would never have started without correcting that. To suggest engine work without completing basic diagnostic steps was a bad call. Lack of Accountability When I stopped by to speak with Mike about the missed steps, he was "too busy" to talk. Jerremy took my number, but no one followed up. When I reached out again, I was offered a $100 refund--an acknowledgment that mistakes were made, but not a meaningful resolution. I was also disappointed to walk in and see Eric working on my classic without a fender mat. That alone speaks volumes about attention to detail and respect for the vehicle. A Referral That Didn't Hold Up This referral fell short. As another reviewer, Von Sellz, pointed out--we don't all have dash cams to monitor what happens behind the shop doors. Some shops, like Joe's Garage, take thorough check-in photos and run a professional, accountable operation. They've been doing it right since 1952. Oakmont Service Center had an opportunity to live up to their reputation and the trust placed in them through referrals. Instead, they missed critical steps, failed to communicate, and didn't take ownership of their mistakes.

There are plenty of mechanics and garages in Eugene to choose from, but I will definitely be…read morepointing people in Sun Automotive's direction whenever I have the opportunity. I first came to Sun just because of their proximity to my home, and Bryan at the campus location helped me out with several smaller issues I was having without charging me - that easily earned them a first look when I had some real mechanical issues to deal with. Customer service means a lot when you're a smaller business, and those kinds of things go a long way towards creating customer loyalty. Most recently, I needed a shop alignment after making some modifications and repairs to my vehicle (I had first taken it to Les Schwab because Sun was booked for the week and I wanted it at short notice, but my estimate quadrupled when they told me my inner/outer tie rods needed replacing). Bryan gave me a call the afternoon of the day I brought my vehicle in and told me that they were able to complete the work, but that they felt they needed to fix some of my amateur driveway repairs to my tie rods. That required another 1.5 hours of labor to basically undo my work and then do it properly. Bryan said that he didn't wouldn't just add charges onto my initial bill - I had come in expecting to pay a certain price for an alignment. However, the repairs were definitely critical. He asked how I felt about paying for the extra labor. In a nutshell, I agreed to pay the extra because 1. I have a lot more peace of mind, 2. It's fair to pay a person for their labor, and 3. He took the time to ask me about the charge rather than just tacking it on. Like I said above, it's the small stuff that earns loyalty in a competitive business. I'd go to Sun before someone else, even if they had lower rates, because they do good work and they go above and beyond to earn your patronage.
