I took my truck here for a diagnosis and was charged $100 just for them to tell me they "found nothing." On top of that, they put 7 miles on my odometer. Looking at the paperwork, all they did was check the brakes, differential fluid, and C-clamps—basic visual checks that take less than 5 minutes total. Preston provided poor customer service, was incredibly rigid, and was completely unwilling to work with me on the price for a zero-result "diagnostic." I will not be returning.

Thank you Mark. We take all feedback seriously and appreciate you sharing your experience. We want to clarify the process for diagnostic visits, as we always aim to be fully transparent about our fees. When an intermittent issue (like a clunk) is difficult to replicate, our team advises customers beforehand that a standard diagnostic fee applies to cover our technician's time, even if the issue does not act up during the appointment. Because we take safety seriously, a Master ASE Certified Technician performed a comprehensive inspection. This included a 7-mile test drive to safely duplicate the noise, pulling all four wheels to physically measure the brakes, and checking the differential fluid and drivetrain components. This thorough process takes significant time and expertise to ensure the vehicle is safe to drive. Preston and the rest of our team stand by our upfront pricing, but we are sorry that you left feeling frustrated. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our service manager directly at503-646-2940

New to the area and finally got my vehicle in. They can be pretty busy but, that is just a testament to how trusted they are in the community and the dedication to servicing your vehicle. I plan to use them for the foreseeable future when my car needs to be serviced

Thank you Seth. Glad to have you in our neighborhood. Yes, we are really busy, but we always make time for our customers. Remember us for the little things also

Their prices are insanely high, and while my parent's sweat by the work they do, the last 2 cars I had worked on there had a new major issue within a week of picking up the car. Update: 9/1 in response to DuFresne's reply to my review: Thank you for your quick reply. To be more clear these two cars actually belong to my mother, Roxy C. (Last name omitted for privacy). The Toyota Tundra is currently at your shop. And it turns out the issue that it is having is surely one caused during the work that was done on the timing belt and water pump about a week ago. However, despite my mother specifically requesting to be contacted after diagnostics and before any repair, as well as that being the law, she was contacted yesterday informing her that a $630 bill was now due for the diagnostic and repair of a bent sensor wire that runs right along these parts that were replaced and has had no other contact or reason to have been in need of repair. Furthermore, when my husband contacted the shop to get clarification and advocate for my elderly mother, he was told that the sensor was bad and was replaced. Not what was told to my mother. And the charges were quoted as $80-parts, and $550 for 2 hours of diagnostic labor. In any situation, those labor rates are well above regional high averages. We'll be looking to hearing back from the manager today, after he speaks with the technician, as promised. And the Acura that just had a brake job there is our only other car at the moment so we were waiting until we got the truck back, to bring it in for the insanely loud screeching sound coming from the just recently repaired brakes. We will be showing you that when we come to retrieve the truck. I will certainly update my review upon resolution (good or bad) to these matters.

Thank you for letting us know. Please let me know what name you had used. I don't find you in our data base. If you had a problem after bringing your car, as you say, to us, then you should have brought it back. All our work is guaranteed for at least 2 years or 3 years or even lifetime for some. Please call me personally, Nancy, the owner and lets have a conversation
