BANGERR! 10/10 Hidden gem fr…read more I was recommended this place by a friend of a friend, had some pretty serious work I needed done. Idk why their yelp page is ancient, so I'm leaving a review bc I tried looking here first and it wasn't helpful. And I couldn't open their website. Also their number is +1 (503) 287-5715 if ur having trouble Not only did they repair everything in a timely fashion, they accommodated additional repairs upon request while the vehicle was being serviced (I'm sure this is dependent on mechanic availability). They are also REASONABLY PRICED (I do repairs on my own car regularly and was pleasantly surprised). Their customer service is phenomenal, the pricing extremely transparent, and Eduardo walked me through different options to help me decide whether to buy my CV Axel with them or elsewhere and just pay them for labor. I bought the CV Axel myself, but to have them replace the right inner and outer tire rod ends + get a brake fluid exchange + CV Axel replacement, I paid $534. The first place I went tried to charge me $1.2k this place is a god send thank you Eduardo! I was worried abt not being able to drive to and from work and school, and they really delivered. WILL be returning. Shop is small so don't plan to sit and wait in the 1 chair , go grab some food or something.

This is the first time I've ever written a bad review. After…read more1300 dollars spent my car is running worse. They misdiagnosed the issue and were wanting me to spend another 700 to fix wrong problem. Here is what happened. Car was running rough for about a yr. I'm disabled and grieving my only child passing away and had not been able to afford the work. So I just drove gently. I finally was able to save up some money. Well 1300 dollars worth of work later (more than the car is even worth and more than I could even afford-had to borrow money) ... after spending 1300 on crankshaft sensor and egnition misfire sensor and new spark plugs.... the car was running waaaaay worse than when I brought it in. I was then told they were absolutely certain it was the fuel injectors and I could pay them another 700+dollars to fix that. At this point I'm in debt and I've never had a car get worse after 1300 dollars of work done. The engine was loud, the car shaking, it was spitting smoke and stalled for the first time in the 10 yrs I've had it in the middle of traffic a few blocks away from the shop. So at this point I say I want a second opinion. Andy's charges 180/hr which is well above the average 150/hr average rate in Oregon. So I took my car to Maxim Automotive which has 149- 5 star reviews as being a very HONEST mechanic. He takes the engine apart to diagnose it. Only charges me 200 dollars (Andy's wanted to charge 500 for the same level of labor) and at maxim... he swaps good injector into the 1and 3 cylinder and they still aren't speaking to the engine when he does the balance test and electronically turns the cylinders on and off. He then finds that the wires are melted going to the injectors. He does a quick fix on that to see if it changes anything and the engine still isnt speaking to the perfectly good injectors. So he has now effectively done a proper diagnosis and it's clear that the injectors ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. The wires and ECU computer got fried. I would have thrown 700 on new injectors plus labor down the drain as they played guesswork and misdiagnosed the issue...when they knew I was on disability and a budget and now in debt. I was in tears I'm the shop. Plus the mechanic at Maxim found that when they put my intake manifold back on that there were several screws missing. They never told me at Andy's about missing screws... and it's still very strange that the car got soooo much worse after I spent 1300 at Andy's. And they wanted me to spend 700 more on the wrong part. They never really officially diagnosed it at Andy's... it was all just guess work. I am very disappointed that I spent 1300 dollars and the problem I wanted to address (the running rough) never got resolved and is now worse for some odd reason. A new ecu and wires for the car is easily another 2000+dollars... and the vehicle isnt worth that much. So at this point i have to cut my losses and figure out what I'm going to do. Maybe get the correct ECU & wires from the pick & pull and see if I can get a mechanic to put that in. We'll see. This was a very bad experience.

I have been taking my cars to Ho's automotive for over ten years. He is consistently well priced,…read moredoes great work, and doesn't try and overcharge for work. One example: my van was having some finicky door issues and the dealership said I should pay $1500 to fix something electronic on it. I took it to him and he was very confident that a light was getting switched on and I should not try and do any expensive repairs and watch that my kids weren't turning on their overhead lights. This ended up being the case (so user error but he didn't try and do an unnecessary "repair". He also then replaced my brake pads for half the price the dealership quoted. Reasonable, professional, timely and just all around great!

Sometime you need to try them out several times before you find one that 'fits like a glove', and I…read morethought this shop did. Until I went for my 2nd oil change (only reason why I went). I went back the same week to complain why a certain light was giving me a warning signal, he suggested I get my 60,000 maintenance on my car since it is getting close, and it wasn't even TIME. The light didn't went off, so I know something he did caused the light to come on. That same week, I also got a recall on my car, (symptoms are the same as why I went back to complain to him after he did an oil change) and if I took it back to the dealer they will fix it for free. Honesty, is the best policy! Either that, or they're just pretending they know about why the light on my car was giving me a 'warning' signal. But trying to trust them, and paying for maintenance my car didn't need - yet - is not being truthful to the customer. How can I trust them and go back after that?

I was told if I paid cash he would knock 50.00 off. I drove it for a while went to DEQ and before I got there the light came back on. The 4th time I demanded my money back and he called the police. I stopped in today as I've had nothing but trouble since I was told to replace the OX sensors x2 and found out he put the wrong sensors on and possibly altered wire connector. I wanted to know where he got the parts so I could get my money back and he made me leave again. I believe he did this on purpose. Now I'm wornning everyone I see he said because I wrote on yelp he was through with me

My 2010 Ford Escape broke down on I-205 on 4-15-25. I had it towed to AVI after calling to ask if I…read morecould bring it in. I had read a couple of good reviews on nextdoor.com. The AAA guy had looked under my car and noticed the serpentine belt was hanging. Upon arriving the AAA driver politely let know the owner, Hiep, know about the serpentine belt hanging. Hiep barely acknowledged him and looked away. I was shocked that he didn't say thank you and smile, and I had a bad feeling about Hiep right then. The AAA driver looked at me and said, Good luck! I left the car overnight and called the next morning and he told me I needed my new serpentine belt, water pump, and all of the things that go along with that. The price was $783. I had also asked him to check my air conditioning that didn't work and approved for him to pour Freon in. He told me that air conditioning was fine when I knew it wasn't because it hasn't worked for 2 years! When I picked the car up, he acknowledged the air conditioning doesn't work which I obviously knew, and it would cost $850 for him to fix it. He showed me where it was leaking from the compressor and said it needed a new compressor which I would do at another time. I picked the car up and ran a few errands and quickly noticed there was a funny sound coming from under the hood. I took the car back to heap a couple of hours later and asked him to please check it. He blatantly refused to check it and said the engine sounded fine to him. I told him I know what my car sounds like and that there is a noise that wasn't there before. We went back and forth about this and he refused to take my car and check it out. He walked away from me. I'm absolutely livid and at a loss right now. I don't have the money to have someone else double check his work at this time. The only recourse I have is to put this on Yelp and maybe the Better Business Bureau. Shame on him for not even checking my car out. I had a friend drive it with me and he noticed the noise as well. I don't advise this shop. I told him I'd heard good things about him so you would think he would want to make me happy to ensure I'd be a return customer. It would have been nice because he is not far from where I live. I'm watching my car closely and will have to wait until I can have it checked out by another shop. Stay away from this shop.

They did the job and got the AC working for me but, when I went to pick it up, I noticed that the backup camera wasn't working. I informed the guy at the desk and he immediately started gaslighting me by insinuating that the camera going out was an intermittent problem that had probably been happening for a while. I told him that the camera had worked perfectly EVERY time I put the Tahoe in reverse ever since I purchased it until his shop serviced it that day and asked him to have the technician that worked on the vehicle undo whatever he did to make it stop working. After three "attempts" to fix the issue over several weeks, he gave up and admitted that they hadn't even tried to figure out the problem because he said that, by working on the AC, they hadn't came anywhere near the information center where the camera picture would normally appear. Through the entire process he continued to gaslight me by insisting that it had been an intermittent problem BEFORE I took it to them for the AC service. Bottom line; they never fixed the issue and I still don't have a working backup camera and now I have to find a new, reliable garage to service my vehicles.

This was one of the most frustrating experiences I've ever had with a repair shop. I was already…read morestressed about the cost of the repair, but the way I was treated throughout the process made it even worse. I brought my car in on 4/20 for a transmission repair after being told the job would take about one week. At the time, there were no warning lights on the dashboard and no known issues other than the transmission. I also paid more than half of the quoted cost upfront. After a week passed, I had to reach out myself for an update. It took about a week and a half to get a response, and I was told the repair would be delayed due to an illness. I completely understood and was willing to be patient because things happen. On 5/1, I contacted them again to see if my car was ready for pickup and received no response until 5/8. By this point, I had already been given four different completion dates, all of which came and went. I simply asked for an accurate timeline because I was becoming frustrated with the lack of communication. Instead of receiving an update, I got an email from the owner's wife that I found extremely rude and unprofessional. I was told they could no longer do the repair and was accused of rushing them, which was completely untrue considering how long I had already waited beyond the original timeline. As a result, I had to pay to have my vehicle towed to their shop and then pay again to have it towed elsewhere so another shop could complete the repair. Throughout this experience, I was hung up on, repeatedly misled about completion dates, and left without clear communication. To make matters worse, when I finally got my car back on 5/15, multiple warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard that had not been there before. When I called to ask about it, I was told they hadn't touched anything that could have caused it. However, I had photos taken before the vehicle was towed to their shop showing that there were no dashboard warning lights at that time. Overall, this experience was disappointing, stressful, and costly. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this shop
