    Best prices around! If you own a Bristish car, like I do then you need a mechanic you can trust and who charges you a fair amount. I have had an MG Midget for 17 years now and since I was a teenager I have only taken my car here. They have helped me fully restore my vehicle and keep it healthy. There is another Bristish car mechanic shop in Portland which charges insanely high prices and they are rude to top it off! This is a family owned business - I originally took my car to the original owner of the shop and now I see his son and his son working on my car - three generations!

RIP my friend. Josh is the son of Bill Ballard who ran Ironhorse out of his home garage in Forest Grove for eons. Bill was amazing. Did great work at very reasonable prices. I was very sad when he passed but he left this world doing what he loves.... on his bike heading to Sturgis. Farewell, Brother. Josh may not be the mechanic his Dad was but he does very good work. Very accommodating and his prices are similarly very reasonable. He has a couple of employees who also seem to be good with a wrench but the few times I've been there Josh is always the one doing the work on my bike. Over time I've come to trust Josh ad his level of skill so I'm pretty confident that he can handle anything I bring to him. It's always difficult when you lose someone you trust with your life... literally. I was obviously nervous about handing my bike over to someone new but so far it's worked out very well. Josh is young so hopefully he will outlive me and will be the last person working on my Harleys. If it's a choice between the dealership and going to Josh, that's an easy decision.

    Nick and Josh are the best! I've used Jasper multiple times for multiple repairs; currently we are…read morecompleting an S&S 110 upgrade/engine rebuild to my 2007 Softail Standard. It's not as easy as that sounds; we are going from the stock Silver to a black engine and transmission. We are installing a Dark Horse Man O' War crankshaft, upgrading the cams, valves and replacing everything that needs to be replaced. I'm component that Josh and Nick will go above and beyond; getting everything dialed in and right to specifications prior to giving the bike back. I've worked for Paradise, Latus and another small shop; Jasper provides the best and is negotiable with pricing.

They refuse to take responsibility, but I literally just detailed the car the day before and the paint was PERFECT. I hadn't even taken it out of the garage until I took it to interstate. Make sure to watch them install your battery if you bring a car in there that you care about. You can very clearly see how nice my paint is but hairline scratches right where he stood to replace the battery. It might be nothing to the manager, but it's something to me. The sales person, Morgan was actually completely wowed by my car. Looks like I have some buffing to do. Edit: The company response is a lie. They never, NEVER offered any semblance of help. Just the opposite. The manager just kept repeating the lie that he couldn't possibly have scratched the car, again and again while ignoring me. He dismissed me at every turn, repeatedly. I'm even more disappointed now! I never even wanted anything from him, only wanted him to be more careful with customer's cars. I'm guessing the PR guy that wrote the response was also lied to by the manager. Sorry man.

    I own a 1960 Chevy Belair. I knew it had a burnt valve when I bought it, but it was all original…read moreand in such great shape at such a superb deal, I couldn't pass it up. We just don't find these rare cream puffs much anymore! After the head was taken off by a mechanic, he found out it had a cracked piston below that burnt valve. So, I did a ton of research, and where it used to be you could find machine shops all over the city - NOT ANY MORE! One place had a 9 month waiting list! Whoa! I finally found James, at Independent Cylinder Head. He could work on my engine in about 2 weeks! And the quoted price was really reasonable too!! Super nice and helpful on the phone, and after talking to him for a while, I find out he has tons of experience at other machine shops. He went out on his own, and is the owner of this shop. Great! I picked up my engine from the mechanics shop, loaded it into my pickup, and dropped it off for James to work on. We decided to not do a rebuild, with keeping old parts that were still good, but do a re-manufacture with all new parts. The only old parts were the block, the head, and the crank...only because it wasn't available brand new. My engine will be essentially brand new after he finishes!!! It didn't take long at all and I was over picking up my new engine! I dropped it off at my mechanic, and waited for him to get to it. Not getting into all of that wait - Phew! He finally got it done but the mechanic I had chosen, couldn't get it timed right, and wasn't patient enough to work through it! I would barely run...and I certainly couldn't drive it as it was. I was outta there. This mechanic had no affiliation with James at Independent Cylinder Head. Since he had been so helpful and kind, I called James and asked his opinion on what to do. He said he had a mechanic buddy, that he used to work with for a long time, that had his own shop. He'd call him for me and see if he could do my timing/tune up. He called back soon, and I was in to his buddies shop in 2 weeks! He had a couple of jobs ahead of me. I had my car towed to his shop. The day after I dropped it off to the new mechanic, two hours into the day, he called and said my car was all fixed and was running great and I could pick it up! WOW! James came through for me again! What a quick and good mechanic friend he had. I went to pick up my car in Milwaukie, OR and drove it home to Beaverton, OR without an issue! I was doing 60mph on Hwy 217, with my little 6 cylinder 235cu.in. without effort! It was purring like a kitten! Just like I wanted!!!! :) Little did I know, the mechanic called his friend James, after finishing my car, and told him how it was doing. Then, a day later, James called me to make sure everything had gone well with his recommended mechanic friend! That was a surprise! ... What a nice man James is to care so much about his customers to call and find out how satisfied I was with his recommended mechanic friend. I told him I was super happy with the mechanic, the speed he fixed it in, and the low cost, and how happy I was to hear from him (James). I don't care if you've called 50 machine shops across the country and found one you figure you'll use. STOP! Call James, and TAKE YOUR ENGINE TO HIM! We just don't get this type of incredible service that James supplies anymore! I would think I was back in the 1960's and he was right down my street and gave me the neighborhood friendly service or something! I highly suggest this very nice and dependable machine shop owned by James. I'm gonna be 69 years old in 2 months, and I'm telling ya, we just don't get this lucky very often anymore to find this exemplary service from shops! If anything, we hear about how so & so shop charged so much and didn't do a good job after paying that much! Not so with James! He takes me back to when incredible service was THE MOST IMPORTANT THING in doing a job for a customer. James is a one of a kind GEM!

They were able to fit me in without an appointment and had it all fixed up within a couple of hours. Extremely fast, friendly, and well-priced service! After it was ready to go they were nice enough to show off some of the custom work that they had going on in the shop. It was exciting to see how some cars come in completely falling apart and rusted, get cleaned up, and then put back together with a custom paint job. I would note that when I was following the Google Maps directions they announce that you have arrived when you are directly in front of the shop. The only problem is that the entrance to the parking lot is a half block behind that point. I want to say that I turned in at a sign that says Acme on the corner of the parking lot. I took some photos to show off the gorgeous paint jobs and custom metal work that I will upload in a minute. Be sure to go there for your collision repair or custom car work!

They were told that because the car was unique it would have to be transported to and from their shop to get the custom parts fitted correctly. The problem came when the car was to be transported. They did not put a full set of lug nuts on the car nor did they tighten them. Even after several offers by me to search out more parts. They relocated the car but never told me that they only put 2 of the 5 lug nuts on each wheel. When the car was ready to be brought into town for parts fitting that's when the problem started. The wheel nearly came off and the truck towing it had a serious accident, I don't recommend this company because they refused to stand behind their work or make it right. I strongly recommend that anyone that has their car at this shop to double check their work before their vehicle leaves the shop. Plus overlooking items and denying the results are part of the equation.
