I really hate to give ABA only one star but it took 3 hours and 15 minutes for an easy service and tire rotations. It was only $63.25 that took too long. Previous visits have taken no more than an hour, as that is why I sat in the waiting area. It appears they are losing too many people. I was told that a tech quit on Friday and Hannah left a couple of weeks ago without any notice as her husband/boyfriend moved to Arizona. Previously they lost Meridian who seemed to be the glue that kept things righted. I will start to look for a new auto repair. read more

Thank you ABA! Your shop went out of its way to complete my son's truck today and we thank you. ABA provides great service and prices are reasonable. Would recommend. read more

I would not recommend ABA Auto Repair based on my recent experience. I brought my Jeep Grand Cherokee in for major engine work (camshaft and lifter repair). Prior to the repair, I had no issues with my thermostat or cooling system. Within just a few days of picking up my vehicle -- after minimal driving -- a warning light appeared. The shop advised that the thermostat needed to be replaced, but the warranty company denied the claim, stating the thermostat was still functioning and not failing. This raised concerns for me, as the issue appeared immediately after a repair that required the cooling system to be opened. When I returned to discuss this, I did not feel heard or respected. As a woman, the interaction felt dismissive and at times patronizing. After I raised concerns about the lack of clear communication and what appeared to be significant part markups, the situation escalated. The staff member, Hanna, became abrasive and unprofessional and had to be told to calm down. The owner later stated that the work had been completed "to the best of their ability," but I was still left with concerns, additional stress, and a repair experience that did not feel fully resolved. In total, I paid around $3,500, and while I understand that complex repairs can have challenges, customers deserve transparency, accountability, and respectful communication -- especially when new issues arise immediately after service. I strongly recommend that others ask detailed questions, get everything documented, and fully understand what is being done and why before proceeding with repairs at this shop. read more

This place both made my car worse and cost a ton of money. One of the worst mechanic locations I've been to in a long time. They were very disrespectful and lied. 0/5 def would NOT recommend. read more

Had high hopes to find an honest repair shop in the area....unfortunately if you're looking for one, this is not the place. Before coming in, I asked how long the wait would be and was told about an hour. I ended up waiting almost 3 hours and the ladies behind the counter were not friendly and condescending. So fast forward nearly 5 hours later from when I arrived, I was told that I needed some repair and given how much they quoted, I decided to get a second opinion and I'm glad I did. I checked with several other shops and they were surprised not only that ABA would recommend the repair because they found nothing wrong. On top of that, ABA wanted to charge nearly 35% more than other shops, if the repair was needed. ABA was definitely trying to take advantage and upsell a repair that wasn't even needed in the first place. In short, if you need an honest repair shop, I would not recommend this place. I'm not sure why they have such good ratings. read more

Dealership stated I needed rear brake pads replaced soon. Upon inspection here, I was reassured everything was in good condition and I was only needing an oil change. Got the oil change and car is running great again. I appreciate the honesty and quick response through yelp! read more

Great service, nice people . Work done as promised and will be back when more service needed! Kevin Shaw

If you are looking for a fair, reputable, friendly, and professional auto repair shop in Hillsboro...look no further. Bryan and his team were very good to me and my vehicle. He completed a thorough assessment and took the time to explain the recommended repairs and my options in detail, but also in a way I could understand. They kept me updated by phone or text. From the time I first walked in to the time I left with my vehicle, they were kind and friendly. I would be comfortable sending my 75-year old mother there to have her car serviced. Good people! read more

I have always loved ABA but I have stopped going there because they are so SLOW, promised dates are missed and they lack customer service. I have recommended these guys recently and they charge the person I recommended way too much money for services. I got no referral intuitive or anything, not even a thank you phone call. They do not call you to let you know what is going on with your vehicle in a timely fashion. You have to call them...what! This guy has bitten off more than he can chew. read more

Great service! Hannah answered all of my questions over the phone which brought me into the shop after obtaining quotes from other shops. It was a bit of a drive from where I was and other auto shops were definitely closer but this one had the best pricing for an oil change which included an inspection and a new oil filter (yay)! It does look a little rough on the outside, but the inside is cozy with options for coffee, tee, and some candy. Everyone was nice and they even guided me out of the lot when someone parked right in front of me (I guess they were making a quick stop & didn't know I was leaving at the same time). The best part is that I paid exactly what I went there for and what I was quoted. I also didn't feel pressured to go along with their recommendations right then and there like I have experienced before with other auto shops. I'll be coming back! read more

HeThis is, without a doubt, the best auto repair shop I've ever visited! They are incredibly transparent about their services, operate with impressive efficiency, and made the entire process seamless. I highly recommend them! read more

The Best Brian and his crew are fantastic to work with. I brought my car in for some electrical issues, rodent related! He spent a day and a half looking for the problem and couldn't find anything wrong other than a possible connection issue. They called me several times with a status report. He obviously didn't charge me for all the hours. If I have any problems I am to bring it back and they'll investigate further at no charge. Nice, honest, professional people. You really can't ask for more from an auto repair business. I'll never go anywhere else. read more

This auto repair shop is awesome! Very friendly staff and prompt work! I've come to this shop for oil changes almost every time and they have done a great job. There's a cool waiting area with a couch and chairs and there are little souvenirs that are free as well! I was able to cop a sick lanyard and a carabiner. They do a lot more than just oil changes too, you name it, they can do it! read more

Isn't it great when you find a mechanic you completely trust? That's how we feel about Bryan and his staff. They are knowledgeable, kind, friendly and honest. I won't go anywhere else with our 3 Hondas! read more

Such great service! Way better than the Chevy dealer. The owner is super nice and knowledgeable and doesn't charge a fortune.

Bryan and his team are fantastic. I have friends who raved about this place and strongly encouraged me to take my car in for service and was not disappointed. Thank you for the honesty integrity and talking to me in a way that I can understand. Worth the time and review! read more

This place is a gem, you won't find a better shop than this anywhere! My wife and I broke down in our Sprinter van a couple miles from this shop on a cross country trip on the way to our wedding. This shop showed us extreme hospitality and kindness and went above and beyond to help us out while we waited for our van to be fixed. The mechanics at this shop are highly skilled, the workers and owner are genuinely nice people, and the price was more than fair! Best of all we made it to our wedding on time! Can't recommend ABA highly enough, thanks again! read more

ABA Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

This auto place has fixed our multiple cars. If it's not one thing it's another with our cars. But boy do they know how to fix everything! The only thing is they keep your car for a few days or three. But they fix it and sometimes do a lil extra for free. Thank you guys for fixing our car! read more

After getting a VERY used car for my daughter, we were nervous especially when multiple lights were on the dashboard. Called a few places, didn't feel good. Finally spoke to Brian at ABA auto, I was skeptical but brought the car in after he patiently talked me through a few of the issues over the phone. The shop is located on a long empty road despite the address looking familiar (evergreen). I even drove past it because it's not very visible, pushed back on a dirt road etc. After doing a u-turn and driving on gravel we finally arrived, for some reason had a dukes of hazard feel when I walked in, but anyways. Brian was at the counter, friendly as ever and I felt at ease like were in good hands and not being conned because we're women. Left the car there and got a call later detailing the issue we suspected and gave the green light to fix it. Picked up the car and my daughter had a big smile on her face when we arrived home, she said it drove like a new car! That was over a month ago and still no issues. Glad we found ABA auto, I will definitely recommend this shop to anyone who needs good, honest, affordable auto repair! Thanks so much Brian!! read more

Don't buy a used car from ABA. You'll shortly be paying them to fix it. At least take it to another mechanic and have it checked out first, as one should with any used car. No warranty, so don't do like I did and waste thousands. A year later (and less than 1k miles) and it's still just a curb ornament. :( read more

ABA was recommended to me by a trusted friend, so when my classic car wouldn't start, I had it towed 13 miles to the shop. Upon arrival, I nearly had the driver turn around to take my car elsewhere. The lot was crowded, in full sun (it was near 90°) and nothing but dirt and gravel. A giant dust cloud drifted by as someone drove past. Not exactly the environment I expose my car to, but I eventually decided to leave it after I was assured it would be well taken care of. Ben could use better customer service skills, but Michelle (?) was great. My apologies for not remembering her name. Turned out the starting problem was just a battery, which I thought had been ruled out by AAA, so ok, fine, get me a new battery. They told me I needed a new power steering pump and that they had found some other leaks (transmission seal, valve covers) and that I could use new brake hoses. These old cars take three hoses: one each side on the front, and one on the back. I was charged for FOUR hoses, and they did not work on the back. I didn't say anything before I paid the bill because I'm not well-versed in the subject. I have since checked with another mechanic to make sure my story is straight. I knew I needed tires, and Brian assured me it was rare that anyone could beat his price, so I went ahead and agreed to let him get me some BF Goodrich Radial TA's, even though there were closer tire shops to take it to for any rotations or warranty service. I was told this would all cost $1750. I ok'd the repairs and was told that they'd send me an email with details. I never received an email. I was later contacted and told that my water pump was leaking and the price would bump up to $2000. I wasn't expecting to pay so much to get my car going, but said ok. I went to pick up my car and was told it was clean and ready to go. "Oh, they washed it?" "No, but it looks good." In all actuality, it looked worse than when I brought it in and needed a complete interior and exterior detail because of all the dust and fingerprints. I removed the paper floor mat and plastic sheeting from my seat to throw away and it looked like they put the paper mat down AFTER they noticed they were getting my floor mat dirty. I was skeptical of the "new" power steering pump because of all the dirt and oil on it. They told me it was blow-by from antifreeze after they installed the water pump. Sure. I later learned that I could have gotten my set of tires at a (closer-to-home) Discount Tire location for $79 less. My total bill came to $2093. Nearly a hundred dollars more than what I was told after it bumped up to $2000. Besides all that, my invoice has my last name misspelled, my address wrong, the year of my car wrong, and the engine wrong. I can only hope the parts they ordered were the correct ones. Of course, when they don't actually put them on, I guess it doesn't matter. I absolutely got ripped off and won't be going back to ABA, but it most likely won't matter to them. They'll just get another pile of suckers to take my place. read more

This auto repair shop is amazing - Bryan and his team are genuine and oh so funny. Came in for an emergency type situation, with hardly any notice and they got it done in a timely manner at a reasonable price. The shop is also incredibly cute with all the toy cars on the wall and a neat kid zone (I def played). I don't live near here, but this shall be my new go-to for getting work done on my car. Thank you ABA team! read more

We chose to use ABA due to their great reviews. The first repair went great, but other reviewers are correct. They don't keep in touch. We had to keep calling to get updates. When we picked the car up, the work was great, the price fair, but there were dirty handprints all over my brand new driver side carseat cover. The 2nd part of maintenance work we took our car in for a few weeks later, we were told be ready "tomorrow afternoon". No phone call, we had to call them a day later, still not done. Went in to pick-up, wrong charges on bill for repairs, charged for parts we did not ask for and now there was also a dirty greasy handprint on my passenger side new seat cover. If you have time for a repair and pay attention to what you tell them to do, you'll get a decent repair/replace job. It also helps if someone in your family is an ex-mechanic and knows exactly what to tell them and what fair prices are. read more

Super friendly staff with more than fair prices. They went above and beyond on multiple occasions for me without any prompt. I will continue to utilize their services and recommend them to everyone I can. read more

It's always a good idea to support honest , reputable local businesses. And ABA is definitely one of them. I would highly recommend them for auto services over any local dealership. Always giving the customer the lowdown on their vehicle repairs in layman's terms, especially for those who are not auto mechanically savvy. I will always support an enterprise who embodies high integrity and honest business practices. This is the place to go! read more

So I noticed my 97 Dodge Ram 1500 had a little moisture on the bottom by the transmission pan. We took It in to aba. Not only did they inspect, what seem to be a leak in in the back The pan. They found that front sway bar end links and bushings were showing ware. Also drive belt was showing ware. And I needed a new battery. They replaced stabilizer bar bushing., serpentine and v-belt. Brake fluid flush. Coolant flush. Automatic transmission fluid flush. It took them about a day and a half to finish. Runs like a new truck now!. To me, it felt like they went above and beyond my expectation. They definitely know how to do business. Thank you so much aba team! And keep up the great work. read more

Good service got my 1999 Honda civic coupe check and Brian and his crew are very helpful..we will be back soon

I brought my Ridgeline in due to warning lights accompanied by slow acceleration. It took about 1 week to fix it as it was the oil pressure switch, and the wrong one was ordered which caused additional delays. When I picked up the car, it still had engine lights, though this is not their fault because it was intermittent. I brought it back to fix the lights and it only took 1 day and was free of charge. The people were friendly gave status updates daily. I like their couches in the waiting room, its comfy. Overall 4/5 initially I was upset with how long it took to fix the initial issue, but they redeemed themselves with good customer service. Excellent job overall. read more

I have nothing but good things to say about Bryan and his crew. I initially came here for just an oil change and an overall checkup before my medical rotations, but found out I needed some work done. They quoted me a very reasonable price for the work that needed to be done and I got my car back the next evening. I felt very grateful because they stayed passed 5 to finish up my car since they wanted to keep their promise to get my car back to me by the end of the day. Bryan and Andy are literally so friendly and easy to talk to. I am literally never going to another auto shop ever again. Thanks guys! read more

These guys completely overcharged me for a task that took 5 minutes. I do not recommend this business for anything. You will get robbed.

I needed a shop to get an alignment and other work done on an older Jeep I bought for my daughter , because i looked like a drunk driver on the road it was a very sketchy ride other than these minor issues it's a great ride I called and they were able to get me in well the alignment was definitely needed and they found other issues and Andy called me regularly and kept me informed on what was going on and how much the cost would be they let me k ow it was ready and what a huge difference it rides great and the cost was worth every cent thank you to all the staff at ABA my daughter has one great looking TJ read more

ABA Auto Repair - 1997 Tj - Auto Repair Near Me - Hillsboro, Oregon

I went here for a full synthetic oil change ($68). I called a week ahead to schedule the appointment, and it took about a hour to complete. They have a guest WiFi's network and plenty of seating in the waiting area. The driveway and front door were a little hard to identify as there isn't much signage for the shop. The front door is marked only by a small 'front office' sign. The service was good, I don't get the impression the inspection overall was very thorough as nothing really came up. Not that I want the laundry list other places give you when they try to talk you into unnecessary repairs. I haven't changed the filters in my car in well over a year so they've gotta be due but it wasn't mentioned or listed on the report. Not super critical or a deal breaker. I'm just used to more thorough inspections at my last shop. Overall, ABA could use a scrub and better ventilation but that's pretty standard for auto shops. The service was polite and straightforward and the prices were reasonable. They were a little under staffed for the volume of phone calls coming in but being busy is usually a good sign. I will definitely go back for my next oil change/repair. read more

I have used ABA for past few years and I was happy with their overall services even though they were always late than their promised dates. They were late as they are busy and popular. But at least they were honest and work was good ... I decided find other place due to their lateness of their service again and their description of problems were wrong to the point that I have saved around $1000 going to other reputable place. ABA was honest and always reasonable before ... I felt like I was not important to them so I found a place where my car problems were taken seriously. Good luck ... read more

Excellent, professional and proud of their work. Awesome projects on the side too! Check their photos for some of the classic rebuilds. Quality at a fair price. Wow! So nice to ask a mechanic about a basic engine fix and get a full explanation of the parts and labor required. I've had responses from mechanics be anywhere from rolling eyes at my stupidity to the worst; shuffling feet on the shop floor looking confused, then, "Uh... let me get back to you on that?" The crew at ABA have the experience to rely on. Ask my Subaru! read more

I have a 2008 Mercedes that been at ABA since 3/16/2021 today's date is 4/30/21(6 weeks and counting) I appreciate them wanting to fix the transmission issue and save me money in the process but I can't wait for them to try this and that while more days go by. After many calls and a few visits I'm starting to feel I'm being avoided. I'm avoiding bringing names into this review (so far). I just want the car back by mid week 5/5/21 if they can't fix so I can move on. This may have been more than they (no names yet) could handle but I need the car back an or honest effort and explanation and solution. -I will update this review and rating next week with what happens over next 3-4 shop days. Frustrated. Beaverton Mercedes just wants to put in new transmission easier and more profit or them at over $8k read more

My 2010 honda civic has been well-taken care of since I move to hillsboro. The first impression wasn't too good due to the autoshop is located in a off-road area. Bryan and his co-worker proactively point out the up coming part replacement that I might need. Now I decide to have all my maintenance job to get done with ABA auto repair. believe me, I tried the honda dealership in Hillsboro, and Beaverton, but this is the auto shop that you will feel the technician truly care about your vehicle. The service you will receive worth any penny you pay out. Highly recommend this auto shop to Hillsboro resident and every intel Engineers. read more

*** Update - Just took our car in to have the AC repaired. AGAIN - the team gave great service, a fair price and left us wanting to come back for future help. *** Original review below. I can't say enough good stuff about this shop - the owner is honest and runs an excellent shop. Recently, I brought my car in for an oil change and an alignment. I also thought the car might need a tune-up. I was ready to pay for it - and I can guarantee other shops would have charged me for it - but, the owner at ABA explained my car was in great shape and only needed the oil changed and the alignment done. I will always take our cars to AB read more
