Kevin’s fit me in on short notice for an upcoming road trip. The service was completed early and with no surprise charges. I also appreciated the friendly staff.

I have been taking my car to Kevin for 3 or 4 years now and I couldn't be happier. I have personal relationship with the guy who will be working on my car. In the past I just dropped my car off somewhare and mostly just dealt with the cashier. Take your car to Kevin, and like me, you'll find out what providing superior car care should be.

I completely trust Kevin's auto care! They provide explanations and are reasonably priced. There's absolutely no upselling. We moved further away from their shop, but still take all our cars to Kevin's for repair. Highly recommend this shop.

We have been taking our work vehicle to Kevin's for years. From dealing with Lisa or Letha? at the front desk to Kevin, it is always a easy to understand the process with a estimated repair time and price over the phone or at the shop. There is no BS. Just a diagnosis of the problem and a recommended fix. Zero dishonesty, scare tactics, and upselling. They will answer any questions you have and will try to save you money when possible. Recently I brought my car in for AC issues. Most likely a recharge with dye to monitor any leaks was recommended and completed the following day after car was dropped off after hours. The process and pricing was explained in detail before any work was performed and it was more then fair. Picked up my car and everything was working fine. The next day the same issue occurred. Warm air no AC. Called Kevin's again and arranged to drop off car again after hours. Following day the problem was diagnosed to be the compressor which I was hoping would not be the problem because it's a spendy repair and replacement. Kevin called and explained the situation and gave me a estimate. I gave the go ahead and it took some digging by Kevin to order the correct compressor but it arrived after a few days and the replacement was installed and now the car is nice and cold again with excellent AC. Kevin reclaimed the refrigerant from the last last recharge and used it again. He did not even charge me to have one of his techs vacuum out the system again and recharge it with refrigerant and dye the second time around. I guarantee most shops would have charged and any Stealership would charge without a doubt. Before I went to Kevin's I talked to my Stealership service person to get an idea of what racket they would run on me. They wanted a 500 dollar estimate, and 488 dollars for a recharge. If the compressor was bad, it would be a additional 2800. She was so pushy and used scare tactics to try to sucker me in. With that in mind I called Kevin's and their was no estimate charge. Plenty of questions answered and information given over the phone. Simple to arrange a appointment and get the work done at Kevin's with again the utmost professionalism and honesty. Anyone who is inexperienced, nervous, with car repair needs, and getting shafted by other shops and Stealerships will have no worries at Kevin's.
My final repair costs were less than I had anticipated. Parts and Labor was very affordable and was less than half of the stealership price.

The most important quality we need in an auto mechanic is honesty and Kevin is above honest. He has repaired a problem with pinpoint accuracy at less cost than the dealer, who quoted replacing an entire system: inc cost for part and labor. Unlike the dealer, he told me the best gas and oil to use in my old car; no diagnostic charge. I could write more but space is limited. He’s just the best.

Kevin's is our family's favorite mechanic ever. We can absolutely trust him with our cars and our wallets, which is an amazing feeling. We've been going there since it was Kevorks (and Kevin was the lead mechanic) over a decade ago. The people are very honest and kind, and Kevin absolutely knows his stuff. Highly, highly recommend!

Kevin's Autocare is second to none. My family and I have used him for years because we can trust him to get the Job done but not tack on extra unnecessary work. Best mechanic in the state I drive 45 minutes from my home town to use his service.

Kevin's Auto Care is fantastic. I've been taking my family's cars there (three so far) since I moved to the Portland area in 2016, and they've always been so great! Always very busy, which I honestly love to see, but the turnaround times are surprisingly fast. Always honest, and the work is quality (never needed to go back for the same issue after a repair). The prices are fair, and the staff is friendly and dependable, with great communication and followthrough.
Since I don't know much about cars, I've often taken my older cars (a 2001 and 2003) in for an appointment, telling them "please let me know what's due for maintenance or any issues I've not noticed that should be fixed to keep it on the road". And on numerous occasions, I'm told "everything looks good, no work needed!" I've given every opportunity to be charged for something unneeded, and it never happens. There have even been times where they offer options to fix an issue much more cheaply, with used parts or a workaround that would keep me driving without a huge bill. I'm always confident that they're giving me the advice they'd give friends and family, not trying to run up the price on my bill.
I grew up in a household where having a great mechanic was a major point of pride, and it's satisfying to know I've got one in Portland. I was honestly a little sad when I traded in my 2003 for a 2023 and realized it would probably be a while before I'd have a reason to take my new car into Kevin's for a repair! ?

My family and I have taken multiple cars to this shop throughout many years. Kevin is thorough, honest, efficient and the only one we trust with our vehicles. Even though his lot is always busy, which is a testament to his great business, he has gotten our cars in as quickly as he can while maintaining thorough and excellent work. Thanks Kevin and team!!

Kevin and his team are fantastic to work with. Right from the beginning of my initial phone call they were super helpful and attentive. They actually seemed to care about what the issue was. I was able to get in to have my car looked at within a very reasonable amount of time and the communication throughout the whole process was fantastic. I couldn't be happier as I have finally found an honest and high quality mechanic. Thank you so much Kevin and team.

I have gone to Kevin's (Kevork's) Auto Care since around 2013 or so with the multiple cars I've had over the years. I've also referred multiple friends to Kevin. He's a nice person and a great mechanic, and the reason I keep going back is because I trust him. How many mechanics can you think of that you feel that way about? My cars don't need much care, and so Kevin probably doesn't even remember me by name, but I sure remember him and will continue to visit him each time my car needs care. I've gone to see him with a range of vehicles: Mazda Tribute, Mercedes, Mitsubishi Mirage; my partner took his 350z there multiple times. Each time we've both felt Kevin gives honest assessments and doesn't price gouge. Labor on cars is always going to be costly, because it's a trade, but if you can't do it yourself, what do you expect? Kevin's pricing is fair if not much better than anyone else I've been to (of course it all depends on the issue and parts), and most of all he actually fixes the problem. I've left other mechanics in the past because each time I took my vehicle in, somehow another issue popped up a week later which always made me skeptical. That's never happened here, so I will keep going back. Thank you Kevin!
