Portland Automotive Guide
Portland’s status as a transit-friendly city is built upon an infrastructure that lets people choose whether to drive somewhere or not, offering public transit, ample walkways, and dedicated bike routes. Just like a bicycle, however, cars need maintenance and care. Luckily, Portland auto repair shops and services are spread throughout the city for the best service available.
Portland car shops include No. 1 Japanese Auto Service on NW 16th, which has a solid reputation for Honda and Isuzu services and high ratings for customer care. Everett Street Auto Works in Old Town/Chinatown boasts high ratings for their prices and efficiency all around. Both No. 1 and Everett have honest, reliable price quotes that are more than competitive. Some Portland auto repair shops, such as Andy’s Auto Supply and Repair on SE Powell, provide their customers quotes on parts, giving them the option of having the work done or taking the do-it-yourself approach to save on costs. Si’s Auto Body on NE Glisan provides comprehensive services, prices that rival any chain, quick repairs, and high-quality work. Mackin’s Auto Body on NE Broadway goes the extra mile with their service, giving cars a wash and vacuuming before customers pick up their cars.
Portland car wash options range from automatic, such as Kaady Car Wash in Southwest Portland with its soft-touch wash, to hands-on attention at Washman Auto Spas in the Broadway district, for interior and exterior cleaning at reasonable prices. Eco Car Wash in North Portland offers a $10 wash and polish, drive-through style, and NW Auto-Spa kicks it up a few extra notches with their expert detailing to leave a car looking “showroom new.”
Car services in Portland are spread throughout the city and give cars the attention and service they need to keep going in any weather, without needing to drive too far to find them.
