    Don't know why I didn't know about these guys at Classic Lube sooner. I have lived in Portland since 2000 and never knew or thought about them. Came in today for the first time and found these people do wonderful job on my car and good customer service in respectful manner.....And they have the BEST price around. I will use them for future service and will recommend to anyone. Thank you.

    See all

    Great service! The oil change was quick, the staff was friendly, and they took good care of my car. I'll definitely come back.

    Always greet you with a smile and very professional. Fast service and not pushy when getting work done at this location.

    I recently had to replace both my headlights on my 2002 Ford Mustang…read more After I was done, I noticed that they weren't focused in the proper direction so one day at work I decided to take the car to Total upgrade (across the street from my place of employment, O'Reilly Auto Parts). Chris said he would do it for me and he would drop the car off in the O'Reilly parking lot after he was done (which is exactly what he did). I walked over to him and asked him how much I owed & he said nothing! NADA, Zilch! Wow, he did the work (headlight alignment) for free!

    Worst experience I've had in my entire life. We found this mechanic, based off good reviews and one…read moreof the lower prices we were quoted we thought it was a slam dunk. Came in for a new transmission, broken AC and a leaking tire. Was told it would be a week, which sounds good as that was every time line we were told from other places we called. A week goes by and the parts still weren't in, again I mean that's just shipping and it happens, can't really blame the shop. After a week and a half they install the new transmission, but said there was something wrong so they kept working on it. Another week goes by and they say they need to order ANOTHER trans. At this point we are very frustrated as we needed this vehicle back 3 weeks ago. But I mean who knows what is really going on so we just hang tight. Finally, a MONTH later, we get a text that the trans was replaced and good to go but they didn't have time to fully fix the ac. Didn't have time? You had it for a month and decided until the last day to look at the AC. They replaced the blower motor but said they would have to take the whole thing out and didn't have time for it, so it was ultimately a temporary fix for a full charge. After asking for a price break down he gave us $150 off. Woopie after a $7,500 ordeal that didn't feel sufficient. They then charged our card for the second half of our bill after we explicitly said "we do not authorize this charge" and we also don't remember saying they could save the card on file..... if that wasn't all enough to make us never come back we then find out the tire was never fixed after it went flat on the road a few days later. To which the guy says "looks like I forgot" !!! Now the AC stopped working because again it was never actually fixed in the first place. Truly unacceptable from start to finish. They clearly do not care about doing a good job and just want your money. He asked us multiple times to pay the remaining balance before we even picked up the vehicle or had any work done. Avoid at all costs.

    I normally don't leave reviews, however I am so offended by the lack of customer service and…read morecomplete rudeness from the staff here. We originally had my vehicle towed to Dufresnes because it was close to our house and we thought a small local business with good reviews would take care of us. What started as a $3,500 repair quickly snowballed into an $8,500 repair with "one more issue" popping up every few days. The process moved painfully slow, included delays from wrong parts being received, and took nearly 3 weeks from start to finish. During that time I was given a loaner car that was absolutely disgusting. Stains on the seats, dirt and dust covering every surface, debris everywhere, and an old air freshener literally adhered to the center console. I called the same day because honestly I assumed they would be mortified they handed a customer a vehicle in that condition. Instead I was told, "well it's free." No apology, no concern, nothing. I was also told they were short staffed and someone had broken their leg/foot, and that if I brought it in she would vacuum it herself. I wasn't going to bring a filthy car back and have an older woman vacuum it herself. I ended up cleaning the car myself and moved on because I was just happy to finally get my vehicle back. Then one of the brand new tires they installed went completely flat. I dropped it off for repair and was told they would call me when it was ready. The next morning I saw I had missed a call with no voicemail, so I called and said, "Hi, I dropped my tire off yesterday and I saw I missed a call so I was just checking for an update." Before I could even finish, the woman cut me off to argue that they "ALWAYS leave a voicemail." That wasn't even the point. I simply missed the call and was calling back. When I asked, "Ma'am, can you hear me?" because I thought maybe the phone was cutting out, she snapped, "I'M TALKING, DON'T INTERRUPT ME." She then started talking to me slowly and condescendingly like I was a child. When I arrived at the shop, nobody greeted me. As always, they just stared at me in silence. The woman with red hair walked over and silently held her hand out with no explanation. I handed her the tire lock, but she kept her hand out and expected me to somehow know she also wanted my keys. No "can I grab your keys?" No basic communication whatsoever. When I brought up how rude the phone call was, management immediately became defensive instead of apologizing or taking accountability. They AGAIN kept circling back to how they "always leave a voicemail," completely ignoring the actual issue, which was how disrespectfully I was spoken to. Then they flat out admitted the attitude toward me stemmed from when I called months ago about the condition of the loaner vehicle. So instead of being embarrassed they handed a customer a filthy car, they chose to hold a grudge over it and treat me poorly afterward. I have never experienced this level of hostility, defensiveness, and lack of professionalism from a business charging people thousands of dollars for repairs. The women who work here, including management, are some of the most miserable and unpleasant people I've ever dealt with in a customer service setting. Every interaction is met with defensiveness, attitude, and complete inability to take accountability. I'm sure they'll respond to this review the same way they respond to every negative review -- claiming the customer was "rude" while completely ignoring their own behavior. I did not start out rude. I became frustrated after being repeatedly spoken to with disrespect, condescension, and hostility over very reasonable concerns. If your business cannot handle polite customer feedback without holding grudges against paying customers months later, you should not be working in customer service.

Turned out the car just needed new spark plugs and ignition coils. For that I was charged over $1k! Later through googling I realized typical price for this type of work should range between about $300-400, so they charged me about THREE TIMES the normal cost. I thought a neighborhood shop like this could be trusted to be honest, but I guess its a hard lesson learned.
