I was referenced here by a coworker and very glad they provided this. They are extremely transparent. I asked how much for an analysis of my car issue might be. They asked what was happening and felt it likely was the fan clutch. I asked for budgetary quote as I wasn't sure if it made sense to repair the 25 year old car with 260k miles. In my case today it does, they called to confirmed the estimate before working on anything after they got to look at the car. Once I arrived to pick up they showed the part that failed and explained the issue in more detail. Most of this was not prompted which was extremely great. I have only been here once but will be back. I have high standards of who touches my cars to the point of I can I drive them to Oregon where I grew up to have the mechanic work on it but I think I found my new local shop. The experience I had only solidified what my coworkers stated.

The service here was spot on and not to mention that they diagnosed the problem with my car and saved me hundreds if I went elsewhere.

Thahn is a master mechanic and great to work with. Great prices and service. Never tries to upsell you with stuff you don't need and keeps it simple with the truth and his recommendations to save you money.

I cannot believe this place doesn't have more reviews. I was driving in Northbend when my car showed the battery light, then overheating. I pulled over immediately, checked under the hood, the belt had slipped and there was coolant leaking under the car. I had it towed super early in the morning before the shop even opened, left my key in the after hours key drop and left a message stating the problem.
They got back to me about 2 hours after they opened, gave me a repair estimate, and had the car finished later that day.
I also asked for a repair estimate for the steering system since it's leaked for years, and his answer was "Way too much" (basically, not worth repairing given the age and condition of the car). So, it really feels like they repair cars in the best interest of their customers, and that's a rare trait for businesses lately.
My service turnaround may not be typical, but I highly, highly recommend this place.

Our family has taken our cars here for 20+ years. They are EXTREMELY ethical; dont inflate services not requiring repair. Excellent quality and price. Taking my Subaru in for front-end strut/spring replacement and brakes. You wont find a better place for the triple benefit; price, quality and ethics. Matthew Brown

We have experienced extraordinary service from Continental Garage for over a half dozen years now. Owner Thanh Lieu is an extraordinary mechanic and handles everything in the shop himself. He and Maria Lieu, who manages the office and recordkeeping, have operated Continental Garage for several decades. Our cars outlived their warranties quite a few years ago; we have driven both of them (a Toyota Highlander and Honda CRV) for over 20 years and, as they have aged, more maintenance and repairs have naturally been needed. Continental Garage has been wonderfully responsive and efficient in their work – even on the same day, when needed (and even when they had plenty of other work already scheduled to do.) We have been able to rely on Thanh’s diagnoses and advice about our cars’ problems, alternative solutions, costs, etc. That has included his recommending against work that would have earned him more income. The Highlander finally reached a point this year that Thanh recommended not repairing its most recent problem because the cost would outweigh the benefit (given the age, mileage, and condition of the car’s other systems). That was his recommendation even though it ended Continental’s income stream from that car, which would have continued as long as we owned it. In that, their billing practices, and other ways, they have repeatedly shown dependable integrity along with high quality work. And besides all that, they are very nice people! Over the years, we have worked with other excellent auto repair shops, but Continental is the best.

My car had check engine light on, and losing speed on freeway, Thanh was able to quickly identify the issue before my ride left home. Awesome family owned shop!

This is the best place to show your car for repairs. My car was inspected very well and issue was captured perfectly. The exact damaged part was replaced with very minimal cost. I definitely recommend.

My mom has taken her and my dad's vehicle here for years now. I have gone along a few times and seen every invoice. Honest and up front business and mechanic. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. Not often you come across a business like this!!!
