Jays garage, Portland

In the early 1970s, Jay Dykeman returned from military service and turned $1500 into a small business that has since become a thriving auto repair facility. It didn't happen overnight, though; Jay's commitment to accommodating new technology is part of what helped him thrive, and continues to do so. Jay's Garage staffs ASE-certified Master Technicians exclusively, meaning that every mechanic who works on your car has undergone extensive training. They offer a wide range of repairs and preventative maintenance services, from oil changes to brake, transmission, and engine repair, along with an 18-month or 18,000-mile warranty on all work. And Jay's also offers biodiesel fuel, which is biodegradable and eco-friendly.
