You have to know about this place to find it…if you have found it, go! My car has never sounded this quiet and it was fixed in less than 30 minutes. I planned on having to return after the diagnostic visit, however, all in one today. Incredibly pleased. Thank you!

I wish I could give more than five stars! Had a radiator hose start leaking with 4.5 hours of my 19 hour road trip left. Doug's was the first shop I came across, and I waited in the parking lot until they opened. They got my car in as soon as they opened, and I was out of there in an hour! If I didn't live so far away, they'd be my new go to shop!!!

Doug and his staff always do a great repair. Very accommodating, fair pricing. The only place we take our vehicles to be diagnosed and put safely back on the road.

They lie and steal from their customers. They also commit fraud.

Back in June of '23, the staff greeted us after my bringing them a sick Dodge Caravan w/ a battery light that came on. Their rapid response was that of getting the car in sooner that even stated that day. We were, as a family, w/ two vehicles, a two year old, and 3 1/2 more hours into a Northern WI vacation already logging three hours before the failure of a voltage regulator (alternator), after Ty of the Portage Autozone hooked us up w/ these folks, and they turned out to be quite the competent mechanics that got it done in timely fashion and got us back on the road later that day and helped to save our trip! You guys went WAY beyond, and we owe a debt of gratitude like no other!! You did a fine job and the repair has STILL been done right to this day after finishing the trip up and back! Thanks much again for all! Get your needed repairs done here, folks! You will not be sorry!

Absolutely horrible. Went in for exhaust issue and they replaced my catalytic converter without asking me and that was not the issue. Then my car left the shop in worse shape. Idling rough and wanting to die went stopped. I cancelled the appointment with them and will be taking it elsewhere. I truly think they damaged my other cat parts and purposely had me buy new catalytic converter and who knows what they did with my old one that was not defective.

I had been going to Doug at Northside automotive in Portage for years. Never again! I had an oil change done by Doug and in Montello one day the oil light came on and there was a puddle under the car. I had the car towed to a repair shop in Montello and they informed me the oil filter came off and was laying on the A-frame. They changed the oil, replaced the filter, cleaned up the oil that sprayed all over the car. I brought all the receipts to Doug and he reimbursed me for the repairs and tow. Fast forward to the next oil change done by Doug. My car died in the Briggsville area. I had the car towed to the Northside and Doug told me the motor was blown. He offered to replace it for thousands of dollars or buy the car from me as is for $600. to $700. I told him I had to think about it. I decided to tow the car home and repair at a later date. I had another mechanic come to my home and check it over since the care has only 67000 miles on it. The motor was not blown. Same thing happened the oil filter fell off. Bad enough this happened again but then Doug told an outright lie to me that the motor was blown! I drove the car to Northside and confronted Doug again. He cut me a check again for the tow, oil, and filter. Nothing for the mechanic that came to my home. I had a death in the family and was driving to Georgia and just south of Janesville the car quit running. No the oil filter did not fall off and it was a $600. Tow to get the car home and I had to fly to Georgia. I had a mechanic come to house and check the car again. This time the motor was blown. Mechanic stated internal parts were compromised or fatigued from loosing oil twice. The 3.8 Buick motor is well built and should not go at only 67000 miles. I am talking to a lawyer to see if I can sue to be reimbursed for all my expenses. Be cautious doing business with Northside Automotive in Portage.Service: Engine repair
