"They have always been beyond helpful, they are honest and will tell me what cheaper options are. They have been my mechanic for almost twenty years and whenever I have to take my car elsewhere it is always more expensive and I feel screwed over!"
"This was the second of four mechanics I went to on my trip-from-hell. I was about to head back to Los Angeles from Portland, when all of a sudden my car stalled out and died. And died again. And again. And again. Shit. Called AAA, had them tow it to a garage of their choice seeing as I know nothing about garages in Portland. They recommended Jay’s, so I said sure. The woman at the desk was friendly and helpful. One of the guys took my car and got to work on finding out what was up. An hour later they’d determined it was an electrical component in the ignition. Saving my life, they managed to call around and find the part (it was almost 4 at that point) and got to work on installing it, as well as some new spark plugs that the guy recommended. Got it all done, and then they were nice enough to wait around while I dealt with a totally insane credit card issue that took almost an hour to resolve, and were totally nice about it. The guy who worked on my car was awesome to the point that I want to go back just to hang out with him. I got a courtesy call the next day to ask if I’d made it down to where I was headed alright, which I wasn’t able to return but was very pleased to get."
"Yay to Jay’s for carrying biodiesel at the pump! Always friendly service too."
"I was very pleased with the service I received at Jay’s Garage recently. I drove in and asked if they changed mufflers and they started working on my car immediately. They were very friendly and informative. To their credit, they changed my oil and gave me an hour of service for free, no charge. they seem to have a ton of loyal customers and have been there for about 30 years. they must be doing something right."
