PORTLAND AUTO REPAIR

Professional, friendly, timely and reasonably priced. What more can one ask for when getting their car serviced?

My car had been sitting for a bit and needed a full check up, diagnostic and oil change. Marco called and very patiently took me through each item and results . Great service!

Im a first time customer, and now a lifetime customer. Du Fresne's "Marco" sorted a minor brake squeal I had. Diagnosis was straight forward and affordable. No upselling, just straight to tne point and sensible approach to the issue. The loaner vehicle provided also made dropping the car off, so they could take the time, super easy. Ill definitely be returning for all my cars needs.

Great service n people!!

I was planning to post full story once I resolve the issue elsewhere, but since the owner is posting PARTIAL STORY that only serves the shop, I will give the full story and update later the resolution. I was told from Dodge dealership that my radiator is leaking and need to be replaced. At this time the car was completely NORMAL and this was PREVENTIVE ACTION. After replacing the radiator from Du Fresne's Auto as described the owner, the radiator fan runs HIGHER SPEED NOT STUCK TO FULL SPEED. I clearly mentioned this, but I found the WRONG DESCRIPTION from the first follow-up visit as you see the owner's post. So I made THE SECOND VISIT to clarify my concern. The shop had the second look and the conclusion was same. The car does not have any problem. How come it is normal when I see apparent degradation between before and after the service? The mechanic said that if the fan noise bothers me because it runs higher speed, "Raise the radio volume". What a solution! Now, when the vehicle runs the engine oil temp goes up to 200~203F at max. When I park the car and just keep the engine on with the heater on, the engine oil temp KEEP GOING UP to 210F with the fan still runs at very high speed. This morning, after 30 min driving, the engine temp was 198F and I turn off the engine and immediately lift the hood and check the radiator cap. The cap was COLD NOT EVEN WARM. So there is definitely a problem on the radiator. It is not circulating correctly. If you believe this is normal condition, go to this shop. If not, stay way.

After years of servicing my Toyota FJ at a dealership I asked DuFresne's to sanity check a laundry list of "needed repairs" cited by the dealership. Of five items that would have totaled $10K, DuFresnes said I only needed one of the items repaired. I saved over $9K. I've shared that story with many people. They have now become my auto service company of choice. Follow up visits have reinforced my decision. They have provided a product you can't sell, you can only earn it. The product? Trust.

As always the experience at Dufresneswas top notch and the all the dealings with the staff was professional and knowledgeable. We so appreciate this business! Cant state it enough, thank you Dufresnes
