On the phone, our mechanic is honestly explaining to a customer that investing money into the repair is not a good mechanical choice. Better that he seek out another vehicle to purchase. Isn't this the type of mechanic one needs to have, instead of not saying anything? Other mechanics would just take the money, do the repair, and the customer would end up paying in the future for additional costly repairs. We're sticking with these mechanics. Thank you for having honesty and integrity. (5 months ago) They have been great in the past 2 years. They have been honest with us on what is necessary for repairs, personable, and have gone out of their way to help us. I would recommend this establishment.

Instead of just checking the battery first thing, I guess they spent a lot of time "diagnosing" the problem and then advised that it needed a new battery, so they did that; most expensive battery replacement I've ever had. Then they advised me that there was a problem with air suspension system and should they look at that. Even though I had already been hit hard by battery replacement, I thought as long as it was in shop, go ahead. THEY DID NOT ADVISE ME THAT THEY HAVE LIMITED EQUIPMENT FOR AN ACTUAL FIX ON A RANGE ROVER AIR SUSPENSION, but went ahead and did the diagnostics on that anyway. The end result was that they determined they COULD'NT ACTUALLY FIX THE SUSPENSION PROBLEM DUE TO NOT HAVING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT"!!!, but charged me yet more for that, so basically, I spent a whopping $557.33 for what turned out to be a simple battery replacement!!! I ended up taking it to P&M Automotive, where I was treated right and they fixed the issue for a fair price. I AM AN ELDERLY WOMAN (already a bad combination to take a car in for repair) AND I WOULD CAUTION ANYONE THINKING THAT HAROLD'S QUALITY AUTO WILL BE FAIR, ETHICAL, AND HONEST WITH YOU, THINK AGAIN, BECAUSE THAT DEFINITELY WAS NOT MY EXPERIENCE THERE.

I chose to go to Doc Brown's because of his mission statement about not wanting to overcharge…read morepeople who don't know much about cars, and for the awesome reviews in Yelp. I got better service than I've ever received anywhere! I had gotten stuck over night in Salem due to car issues and had found him in Yelp the next morning. I did have to call many times, but Doc is a husband and wife operation, so they are busy. However, he called me back and fit me into his schedule, problem solved my bent hood and pushed-in front of my car, and gave me super helpful advice on topping the oil in my very old car. My dad had followed me out to Doc's garage because I wasn't sure my car would make it, and we listened to what Doc was telling me. Dad said I had received such great service and was fortunate to have such an experienced mechanic take the time to explain what was going on with my car. I'm a little embarrassed to say, I didn't know that many old cars need to be topped with oil between the 3,000 miles mark. That explained the sound my car was making and how it felt driving. Though I was embarrassed, I never felt talked down to by Doc. (Ladies, take your car here!) The other problem with my car was that I had gotten into a fender bender on my way to Salem and was unable to unlatch my hood. We left Doc's for an hour and came back after receiving his call. Doc had somehow managed to smooth the hood and get it to unlatch and latch again. This was amazing because the problem wasn't just with my hood, but with the whole front of my car. It had been pushed in 3 or more inches pinching the radiator. What Doc charged for his work was so reasonable, I was dismayed. I would drive from Portland to Keizer to have Doc work on my car. He was great.

I was able to take my car in, in the morning, and have it done in a few hours. My daughter recently needed brakes on her VW Rabbit, and I took her car to Doc Brown's and had her brakes replaced. Again, the brakes were done quickly, and at a very reasonable price. If you're looking for an honest, dependable, and knowledgeable auto tech, this is the place to go. Just be aware that this isn't like a regular garage or dealer's waiting room. There's nowhere to sit and wait for your car, so you'll have to have someone pick you up and then take you back for your car when it's finished. But I'll take a little inconvenience for good, competent work and price anytime.

Very thorough repairs, service advisors are civil and explain things carefully, and they will drive you home and pick you up if you don't have an alternate ride. And for a two-bay shop, they were able to take me in very quickly, and did not keep the truck longer than one overnight. Nowadays, EVERY visit to a shop means a bill in high three figures, if not low four figures, and I have no way to calculate comparative economics. Certified is now my go-to repair shop.

I'm thinking come again the what was done? Nothing not a damn thing was done at all 5 hrs no work no results except you did achieve showing me your incompetence arrogance and attitude and the relationship you earned was my back side.

My time is money and my time is valuable I don't appreciate when it's wasted All in all this location is not on top of their shit and they gave me a whatever attitude and basically a middle finger and here is your keys. I read people for a living and I'm very street smart. I'm very disappointed that I left an entire day with 0 results. I don't care how nice you are I want results I pay for result and any money given to you I expect a simple standard of results. You failed to meet the most basic standards of any shop who work on cars and the attitude in your service was distasteful and arrogant. I expect better from you especially when my family speaks so highly of you for having such quality experience.
