Carl
TechnicianFrom our customers
“I had my brand new Oregon license plate on my front seat, no tools at my new home yet, and when I picked up my car from getting an oil change, they had put on my new plates for me and welcomed me to Oregon. It's rare to find a place that feels like your Grandpa's shop. They take care of me like I'm family.”
“None of the "you need this, you need that," and they did a full inspection. Professional, yet down to earth and easy to work with.”
★★★★★Mark M.“Went to Steve's after failing DEQ test and calling around. Not only were they able to fix everything the next day, they were extremely transparent about everything and the price was right.”
★★★★★Peter Christmas“Top notch service, painless and prompt. They fixed my car fast, didn't BS me and treated me like a person even though I have an old car...and am female.”
★★★★★Sara B.“He even figured out the problem but then was honest with me telling me it should be covered by the warranty and I can take it into the dealer.”
★★★★★Kelly J.“Steve's is the only place I take my car. They are honest and kind and I never feel like I'm being ripped off.”
★★★★★Lauren C.“I've been to many other mechanics. Some I felt were honest... some I felt did good work. I can say with confidence that this shop does both.”
★★★★★Nels Walther“He also let me know that there were a few other things that needed to be changed... I definitely didn't feel like he was doing it to get more money from me. He gave me the option to postpone it.”
★★★★★Blakely H.“I had them give my 15 year old Subaru a bumper to bumper check. Bob was so pleasant and took the time to really explain everything to me.”
★★★★★Christopher Mandeville“Brought our car in because it had the check engine light come on and was running rough. They looked at it the same day and had it all fixed up for us by the next morning.”
★★★★★Grant Van Skiver“Great location for drop off and pick up as you can roam around downtown while you wait.”
★★★★★Presto Clef“I LOVE this place! If I could bring it back to Chicago with me I totally would!”
★★★★★Kasey Kaat“Great service. Treated fairly. You can have faith that they will do the same for you!”
★★★★★Patrick Barr
