SCAMMERS! BEWARE!!! Non certified shop! they will not diagnose and give you any information you request on repairs. Would not give us part numbers or even disclose what they repaired. went in with no lights on my dash and left with all lights illuminated. will be taking legal action.

Stayed late and made multiple parts runs to get new brakes on my work van same day. Great price. Great service. Highly recommend, and it's also a gas station. Great local auto repair shop in SE Portland.

The customer service was much better before than now. I know all the people work here is busy, but when the customer brings a problematic car to you, they bring you a business. I brought my car to get the engine machine fixed and I paid for the service a few thousand dollar. You know what? it still had problem with the engine. I brought a car back this time, feel like Im not welcomed her from the front desk lady to the guy who fixed my car engine before. I dont know what to say rather than hope you guys should have a truly better service.

Told me what I needed, but they were not pushy, didn't make me feel guilty for not having another 700 bucks on top of the 300 I'd been quoted.Good experience, will return.

My bank wanted me to get a mechanical inspection on a 2009 chevy avalanche before finalizing the loan.This was the 10th place I called on a Friday afternoon who could actually do it last minute. The mechanic saved me $12,000 for the price of an $88 inspection. He took detailed pictures of a cover up job on the rusty frame and also highlited other defects including leaking oil cooler and transmission lines that I did not immediately notice. If I need another inspection while car shopping in the area, I will be back 100% Thank you kind sir.

After a recent cross-country trip, my engine light popped up and wouldn't go off again. While I was filling up at the gas station, I asked if they might take a look, and I'm so glad I did! Dan did a great job on my little car, not only fixing the engine issue but also taking the time to explain some other things I need done soon (I recently passed 100k miles). Plus, the price was reasonable and it was done sooner than I had expected!

This past Thursday, May 30th, my husband and I were driving our 3-week old new-to-us used 2002 Envoy to our niece's wedding in Oregon City, Or. We made it from Silverdale, Washington, to Portland when our engine started overheating. We got off the freeway and found a little tire repair place where we pulled off to let the engine cool down. The folks were kind enough to let us wait there until we found a repair shop close by. I called my son in Washington, who is a mechanic, and he looked up repair shops near to our location. He found Al's Auto Repair Center and spoke with Marvin, the owner, who said he'd get us in immediately. They were located just 10 blocks up the street so we limped in and met Marvin. We shared that we'd had a LOT of mechanical work done earlier that week, including a brand new radiator. We couldn't understand why it would have overheated after driving only 180 miles. Turns out that putting an old radiator cap on a new radiator is not a good idea, which caused our thermostat to lock up. Dan the mechanic, performed every possible test to determine what was wrong. He and his helper, John, worked their hearts out to make sure that we would be able to get to our destination. So with a new thermostat and radiator cap properly installed, we were on our way. My husband says Dan is one of the most conscientious mechanics he has met in a very long time! Finding Al's Auto Repair Center was pure serendipity! We can't thank Dan enough for his caring, knowledge, attention to the tiniest detail, courtesy and customer service to get us on our way. And, on a truly positive note, we made it all the way back home without any mechanical issues, thanks to Dan, our hero of the hour!!!!!

Marvin and his crew always make sure my car is being fixed promptly and giving an affordable price. I highly recommend Al's Automotive for oil changes and any other repair needs.

Have taken a car to get brakes done. The breaks are stiffer than ever, took a van to get water pump changed and now it makes a horrible noise. I would recommend it as an emergency pit stop but don't recommend you put your hands completely on them.
