PORTLAND AUTO REPAIR

One of my favorite sources for matters automotive that are my comprehension and/or skill level. We have what might be termed a rather long term relationship inasmuch as Nancy and I are "old" schoo;mates. Good service, they honor their quotes, and "shoot straight."

Seem to have very qualified mechanics. Diagnosed the problem and took care of it in a timely manner. I will return for car repairs when needed .

Excellent service and friendly staff.

Another great experience at Dufresnes. Thank you Marco!

I switched from the local dealership to Du Fresne's a couple years ago and I haven't looked back. It is easy to schedule an appointment but we have also had some surprise repairs occur and Du Fresnes's was able to work us in and complete repairs within a couple days, not weeks like the dealership. The staff is effective, communicates readily and well, and is friendly. The feel is like the local repair garage, which it is.

Professional, friendly, timely and reasonably priced. What more can one ask for when getting their car serviced?

My car had been sitting for a bit and needed a full check up, diagnostic and oil change. Marco called and very patiently took me through each item and results . Great service!

Im a first time customer, and now a lifetime customer. Du Fresne's "Marco" sorted a minor brake squeal I had. Diagnosis was straight forward and affordable. No upselling, just straight to tne point and sensible approach to the issue. The loaner vehicle provided also made dropping the car off, so they could take the time, super easy. Ill definitely be returning for all my cars needs.

Great service n people!!

I was planning to post full story once I resolve the issue elsewhere, but since the owner is posting PARTIAL STORY that only serves the shop, I will give the full story and update later the resolution. I was told from Dodge dealership that my radiator is leaking and need to be replaced. At this time the car was completely NORMAL and this was PREVENTIVE ACTION. After replacing the radiator from Du Fresne's Auto as described the owner, the radiator fan runs HIGHER SPEED NOT STUCK TO FULL SPEED. I clearly mentioned this, but I found the WRONG DESCRIPTION from the first follow-up visit as you see the owner's post. So I made THE SECOND VISIT to clarify my concern. The shop had the second look and the conclusion was same. The car does not have any problem. How come it is normal when I see apparent degradation between before and after the service? The mechanic said that if the fan noise bothers me because it runs higher speed, "Raise the radio volume". What a solution! Now, when the vehicle runs the engine oil temp goes up to 200~203F at max. When I park the car and just keep the engine on with the heater on, the engine oil temp KEEP GOING UP to 210F with the fan still runs at very high speed. This morning, after 30 min driving, the engine temp was 198F and I turn off the engine and immediately lift the hood and check the radiator cap. The cap was COLD NOT EVEN WARM. So there is definitely a problem on the radiator. It is not circulating correctly. If you believe this is normal condition, go to this shop. If not, stay way.
