I took a block in to be bored and honed by another shop in Portland. We agreed the owner/operator…read morewould do the work himself but an apprentice attempted the work and my perfect low miles Honda B16 block was ruined by a measurement error in setup. After a time consuming process, I managed to get another block out of California but it needed to be thoroughly examined and corrected beyond the bore/hone my original block required. That involved setting up for a line honing to check and measure the mains, minimally surfacing the deck to correct for lows between the cylinders and scratches, etc.. After talking to Ron and Ted at length, which they did not mind at all, I decided to have PER do the work. The knowledge level, shop arrangement and tidiness at PER were at another level. They did not flame any other machinists as the first place had. They actually complimented the guy that was going to do the work originally at the other shop, and several other machinists in the area. They were very receptive to all the specifications and manufacturer's specs that I gave them for pistons, rings, bearings, etc, and used them. They worked off production cards specifically printed by their software that detailed each machining job for my block and noted the specifications they achieved in each case. It was clear they were happy with the work because Ted talked me through the whole process as we went over the completed block and crankshaft. I ended up feeling confident in the replacement block for this 9K RPM track/street engine. While they were careful to note that some stains can not be removed by their cleaning machines, they managed to return the block to a near factory condition that I was unable to approach in a half hour of hot car wash pressure cleaning and scrubbing. They even offered me after hours pick up when they left a message to tell me it was ready, but after over 6 weeks wasted with the original error at the other company and acquisition of this hard to find block, I was anxious and drove right out. I am especially appreciative that Ted and Ron made the effort to help me with my schedule even though they are very busy. This is a shop that is sophisticated enough to organize multiple customer jobs in an efficient manner to keep their staff and machines humming. No need to remind them what they are doing for you or help identify your parts like some other shops I have been in. They carefully kept my parts and documentation clean and organized and together. Really, 5 stars isn't enough. Every shop makes mistakes, and it's the response that matters. Often though, people blame a shop for problems they create after the shop is done. These tend to be the biggest social media flamers while people without problems rarely write reviews. I didn't have any issues with PER and I suspect that errors are rare. I think if more happy customers wrote reviews, they would be more like mine. For a shop to get a 4 star or higher rating means that they have a great preponderance of happy customers, most not writing reviews at all. I hope this review helps you find the shop you have been looking for and if you have any questions you would like to ask me, feel free to PM me and I will reply or talk with you on the phone.

Man, my car has been fussy lately.. check engine light came on and could feel that my Mini Cooper…read morewas not running right. Dropped my car off same night (convenient drop box for keys on the side of the building - yay) and got a diagnostic the next morning. Bob was super cool, and it is very comforting to know that this shop knows Minis. It doesn't hurt that they are right across the street from my house and I have only heard good things. Turns out I needed to replace some spark plugs and I decided to replace the ignition coils while we were at it. So glad I did since my car runs fantastically now - I can tell a huge difference from even driving it a year ago. Super smooth. Thank you guys! Will be back, just not too soon hopefully.

There was zero reason to have it that long, and there were no updates from these guys, I had to call every day, multiple times per day. I kept being told they would give me a call back, which never happened. They ordered a part for me and it got sent to the wrong store, because they have 3 names: Milex, Mr. transmission, and also Protech. Too much room for confusion, too much miscommunication. I would never take my car there again, and the owner (Bob) needs to retire and stop being creepy toward women. He's made multiple remarks about my mother that are extremely uncomfortable and creepy as hell.

They took me in immediately, and also let me know my sticker was just past due for an oil change but made it very clear they were not pressuring me to do while there, was just bringing it to my attention. I decided to have it done anyways. Their pricing for my repair, and oil change was very acceptable! There was no run around. Just cut and dry which I appreciated very much. The staff was welcoming and made you feel like a friend! Daryl (the owner) is someone I felt in my heart was an honest wholesome man. And the technician (i believe his name was Dan) was very knowledgeable and didn't try to upsell me on a single thing. When I picked up my vehicle I was slightly nervous because we all know there's always some sort of bad news you hear after work is done. "This needs replaced asap, thats broken and will break down if not replaced soon" and quotes are prepared before you even show up. NONE of that occurred. I wasnt targeted to be upsold on a single thing. I didn't get the typical lecture of needing to spend hundreds of dollars in the near future. Dan told me everything checked out well, ran my payment and they both wished me a great evening! I came home and told my boyfriend if he ever needs work done he doesn't want to do, to take it there. I had the most pleasant experience and I cant thank the staff enough for making me feel like I was leaving my vehicle in great hands! I will be coming back!

I was told that it needed a new water pump and the total would be $977. I decided to move forward because I was hours from home with 2 kids. At 3:00 I called to check in again. I was told that the wrong pump was delivered. Once I saw the purchase order that matched the part number delivered, it was clear that they had ordered the wrong part. I was told "they look really similar". I had lost trust once they tried to cover up their error and I decided to get a 2nd opinion since we would be stuck in town overnight. Rick's charged me $544 despite their error and despite not replacing the pump. I moved on to another mechanic, Orion's, who assessed that the head was cracked and the car needed much more work than a new pump. He said that if I had tried to drive home with a new pump the car would have seized up. My kids and I could have been stranded. Orion's only charged me $134 and I was finally able to get tow and a rental car to get my children home once we had proper answers.
