I recently bought an older used work truck and of course it started acting funny in a couple months. I brought it to two other shops both had separate ideas after trying to diagnose the issue. Neither had any confidence on what was the root problem. I wanted one more option so I stopped and talked to Jim at Madison automotive. He actually took the time to talk with me in detail about and I could tell he had a better understanding and more confidence what he recommended. They fixed the issue with the right parts but something need more digging into. Well him and a tech spent extra time and found and aftermarket electrical module wired in, in some kind of a suspect repair done to the vehicle before I owned it. It's nice to know these people have integrity with their work and a community stewardship approach do their business. Thanks guys!!

Been taking my cars here for a couple of years. Recently had to get a rush brake job at a chain when out of town and was told I had a ton of issues including cracked CV boots and it was going to cost $4k plus. Came here and was told the truth- after a serious inspection, no major issues. Customer for life.

Best shop around by far! These are salt of the earth midwestern guys who are exceptionally friendly, fair, and honest! If i ever move out of North Portland i will continue to use them for as long as they're around.
I've had my car in their shop about a half dozen times and have always walked away feeling like I made the right choice. My car always runs better and the price is always equitable.
HIGHLY recommend!!

I am blown away by how great this experience was! Jim made it so easy, and the repairs were done in a very timely manner. I was communicated with at every step, and never felt pressured into doing more work.Services: Tires

We've just moved to the St. Johns area and needed a mechanic. Our vehicle was stuttering and not shifting correctly. We decided to try Madison Automotive because they were close and got pretty good reviews. That was a huge mistake. We took it in with the shifting problem, and when we talked to them, they said there were over 5 codes. They said they needed to fix a spark plug, air intake hose and ignition coil boot. They said this would fix the jumpy, stuttering motion when the car shifted. When we picked it up a day later, we were charged $800. We were totally shocked at the huge amount, but figured it would be fixed, so that's what it was going to be.Not 3 days later the vehicle starts doing THE SAME THING. We called them back pretty upset that we had spent so much for NOTHING to be fixed. They said they would get back to us on what they'd do next. Meanwhile we bought our own meter and found out our car had put itself in Safe Mode for reasons completely UNRELATED to the stuff they'd done.After a week of not hearing from them (with a still broken car and $800 down the drain), we decided to call around. We found a mechanic nearby who got us in quickly and fixed the issue...for $350. Now our car runs great but we're out $800 because of their unprofessionalism and inability to fix the actual problem. These people will overcharge you and not fix the problem. Shop around. If someone can take $800 for minimal work, not fix the problem that they were hired to fix and then not even have the integrity to take the car back in and finish the job, they are pretty low in my book. Our family could really use that money but instead we got conned.
