Hello all,

I need a recommendation for a competent, honest, fair, etc. service and repair shop in Portland, Oregon. Some things I can do but others I would like to turn over to a good shop. So, any recommendations would be most welcomed.

Also, any ideas about a good paint and body shop?

Thanks for your advice. Rob

Danthefitman lives there, yo.

I heard he can adjust his own valves now.

He doesn't know how to do the grease jobs but he knows of a great shop that will do them too.

Anyway, I digress, I do know how to do the grease jobs, just chose not to do it...easier and safer at a garage, versue squirming underneath my car in my garage in the garage - doesn't sound very civilized.

British Auto Works. Roger is a very competent mechanic there. And when you meet Stan - tell him I sent you, he'll be so pleased.

I had my body work and paint done by a guy in Washougal, WA. Not that far from you. I'm pretty picky, but I was satisfied with his work. Here's a picture of it in my garage. It's dirty, with some smudges, dust and pollen on it, but you can get an idea.

My son lives in Portland, he gets his B worked on at The Sports Car Center on Sandy Blvd. The owners name is Noel, a really good guy who stands behind his work.

Well, thanks everyone this is real good info. Surprised that it is so evenly divided amongst the Portland lbc mechanics too. I thought that there might be one that pretty much everyone recommended with warnings about this place or that place.

Good to know there are some choices.

Regards, Rob

There is one Portland place to avoid like the plague, but all those British shop names sound the same.
