Portland Auto Repair

I was entirely impressed with my experience here. I dropped in without an appointment to get a new radiator. Within 20 minutes of leaving they had already called me with the info and bid...which was half of what I was expecting to pay. They had it fixed by early afternoon. Very professional and customer oriented. I will be back.

I've been taking my car here for a couple of years now and they've been great. My car isn't the most reliable but these guys have always gotten me right in, been very competitive with their pricing, been very helpful, and gone out of their way to fix things that were screwed up by previous mechanics...overall making my car far more reliable than it has been. I've recommended them to friends who have been just as happy with their service as I have been.

I have been coming here for about two years now and have always had a good experience. Granted, the front desk can be a little short and have a little attitude (which is why not 5 stars), but I used to work in body shops, so I know the type and it doesn't bother me. They seem honest and open to me and I don't usually feel that way about mechanics. I have no reason to go anywhere else as they have done right by me. It's also nice to see all the guys at the front desk also go out and do the work and get their hands dirty.

I had a brake emergency today on 82nd, pulled into Honest-1, and within half an hour, they had helped me decipher the problem and get back on the road. My car is a bit of a specialty situation (vintage 1959), but they took the time to get under my car, take the wheels off, inspect the brakes, and safely send me off to my regular mechanic AT NO CHARGE. Who does that anymore? Thank you!

I was on a time crunch buying a new car, and needed it inspected. Took the car to these guys. First, they are open on a Saturday. Secondly, they fit me in in a matter of about 20 minutes. Had the inspection done in 30 minutes. Did a bumper to bumper inspection. Guy even took it out to test brakes, gear shifting, etc. The cost was $80, but well worth it for honest feedback at noon on a Saturday. Thank you for being there when we needed you most!

I'm surprised by some of the reviews. I've been going here for several years. I have a 15-yr-old car, so having a good mechanic is important for me. These guys charge a fair price and do a good job. I've been to several mechanics around town. Each time I've done so, I've come to appreciate the Honest-1 Auto guys on SE 82nd more.

Near my house which is a big plus. Mechanic was knowledgeable about vehicle. Was able to diagnose all issues. The work I required was easy - change belts, flush coolant, change oil & replace oil pan gasket. They did a good job and got it done in good time. I will go there again.

Have had many jobs done for both me & my wifes car. Quality work, fair price. Have consistently been helpful and dependable,

I felt like these guys were giving me a great deal, they were courteous and fast! A friend of mine referred me to this place and I'm so glad I tried it out. :)

I am a regular here because they live up to their name. I used to live close by, but now I drive 15 minutes over here to get an oil change. I've been coming here for 4 years and my car runs great. Why?? I have a 1999 Toyota which needs maintenance now and then. I always talk with the SAME mechanic at the front (I think he's the manager) and he knows my car well. I ask "do I need this or that?" and he often says I don't need to do anything... how rare is that?? He'll tell me what to plan on budgeting for in the next year and such. I can't say enough good things about this place. Totally worth the drive if you don't live close by. I usually pop in and I'm done with the oil change in 20 minutes (and he doesn't try to get me to buy anything besides my oil change). It doesn't hurt that they also have a clean waiting room and computers/internet/magazines to keep you occupied.
