Brandon, who works the desk, is always nice, and explains any issues that need to be taken care in great detail. They will never try to pressure you into service that you don't need (like so many other auto shops do) and are fair with their prices. I would 100% recommend them without hesitation!

Saved Me and My Vehicle: I can't say enough about the front…read moredesk, Dan and his associate. I was traveling from Idaho coming through Portland and my car was burning oil and loosing power. I came into Ken's Van Damme's late in the morning, the employees were very busy, with a busy schedule. The men at the front desk listen to my problem with the car, even looking over some paper work I had on some issues about the car. They were so polite and professional. I was traveling alone and after hearing that, they made it a point to fit me into their busy schedule and fix my car, they even gave me a AAA discount. I feel they were my angels. Now, I can make it back to Idaho. If you ever want a reputable, reliable mechanic shop, I would definitely take your car to them. My car now runs fabulous. I would give them 10 stars, mostly for being so trustworthy, professional. Janet Riegel

I explained to them in detail what i had done, and what parts i had replaced. Their idea was to replace the same part i did instead of diagnosing the entire sysytem to pinpoint the problem as a shop should...so they call me up the day before pick up to inform me that the problem isnt the part i replaced (big suprise) and low and behold they want another 1400 to crack into the actual problem, and that i just basically paid them 1300 to babysit my daughters car for a week. Instead of diagnosing the system they just threw parts at it...not a good look fellas...so when i get her car back i will go over the lil "easter eggs" i hid to see if it was put back together correctly (i know it wasnt) becuase there should be supplements...my advice is pay those techs better so corners dont need to be cut...and yall wont get put on blast for this type of work...

The dealer/service shop told me the front brake pads needed to be replaced and they guesstimated 2 to $3000. Well, having been around the block a few times I realized that was absolutely not gonna work. I found the pads for $200 which is quite expensive, but Pat and Dan and the crew installed them, bled the brakes, and inspected the rear brake drums and only charged me $350. Initially Pat said, bring the rig in so they can take a peek at it and make sure they could work on it and he said, not a problem. Anyway, trust these guys, they're good.

I normally took my car to the Toyota or Lexus dealership, but they were quoting me an outrageous number so I thought I would look around at local smaller own shops to find a good one. Ben's had so many good reviews and I really trusted him. He was able to take a look at it the same day I called and told me to come back in a few weeks to have the service done. Everything went great, he was super nice. Got it done in a reasonable amount of time and charged the amount he said he would. Flash Forward to a few weeks ago, I noticed some weird jolting when the car is shifting gears so I took my car in to Toyota, got an inspection and a transmission fluid change. They told me it was way under filled, the fluid was a dark black color. They told me whoever did the last service on my vehicle with the transmission underfilled it severely. The technician told me it's basically a waiting game to see if my transmission is going to have lots of issues or not. Now I am having a ton of transmission issues and I am needing a new one. I would never recommend anyone to come here.
