I continue to be amazed by Danny's excellent, knowledgeable and so reasonable work. It's been over 30 years now, and I dread the day he retires. I hope it's a long way off. read more

Big shoutout to the people working there. Went in last minute after work to get brake pads replaced without an appointment and they did the job in 2 hours! Replaced all pads and resurfaced all 4 rotors for a great price on my Infiniti. read more

First time here, Danny got me in next day and done by that afternoon for a rear brake job. It was reasonably priced, and the service was personable and professional. Would recommend! read more

I bought a new/used Toyota and took it to Danny for a once over. I had a Toyota dealership check it pre purchase. Danny found several items the dealership missed such a very low transmission fluid. He saved my transmission. His shop is very reasonably priced and through. read more

Danny is one heck of a guy! He's gotten me out of several jams with my old pickup I use for hauling compost and other garden projects. Honestly, he knows just what to do to keep my 2000 Ford Ranger on the road without paying an arm and a leg. I'll admit, a few of his hacks made me smile... but it keeps me from having to buy a new truck that will just sit in my garage 9 months a year. Danny does an extremely high volume of repairs through his garage, and I'm always shocked by how quickly he gets the job done. And there's no messing around with letting your vehicle sit idly once it's repaired. Get in/get out. That seems to be Danny's motto. Otherwise you might get an annoyed phone call letting you know you've got 45 minutes to get your car out of his lot. Danny's great and I highly recommend his garage. The guy honestly knows what he's doing. read more

Sadly, I have to update my review of Danny's Auto Repair. The last couple of times I took my car to Danny he was working alone and seemed to be overbooked in terms of customers. He had been telling me for over a year that I needed to get a full brake job, including all new rotors. I tried calling him a few times in the last week, but he was always busy and his phone manner leaves a bit to be desired. So I decided to get a second opinion, and took my car to The Brake Shop in Vancouver (please read my review of them). Luke at the Brake Shop took a look at my brakes and told me that I still had at least 8-10K more miles left before I needed brakes, and even then he said he could easily turn the front brakes, saving me from having to buy new rotors. His price was also less than what Danny had quoted me. So due the combination of location, Danny's shop is in a perilous section of Sandy Blvd, the fact that he seems to be working alone now and is somewhat overbooked, and his brake recommendation didn't match my actual situation, I won't be returning. read more

My truck's fuel pump failed while I was in portland for job training and living at a hotel. Being not from portland, I had no clue who to call or use. Luckily I was able to reach Danny's auto service. My truck was able to get everything problem solved and worked on in 2 days. And he was able to provide a very affordable rate. 10/10 read more

I've used Danny for the last few years or so. All seemed well in the beginning, but I know he is not doing the work he says he is - especially these days. I went in for fluid changes before winter then had to take my car to another auto mechanic unexpectedly the next day. It was obvious that nothing was done, so I paid the new mechanic to get it done. Knowing what I know now about my car, Danny has had my car for too short of time to have been doing all the work he claimed. Perhaps sometimes he does the right thing, but I no longer trust him. I had to rescind the recommendation I gave to friends and told them to start going elsewhere. Get it together, Danny. read more

Danny has been our go to for years. Always quick, great at communicating and trustworthy to get the job done.

Terrible. After waiting for HOURS, he got around to looking at my Jeep & told me the transmission was out & the repair would be over $2,500 & my car was totaled. I got a second opinion from another place. And they fixed my problem for under $200. The car problems was actually a small problem, Danny's told me was a huge problem & my car was totaled over it. Terrible. I went bc of the positive yelp reviews, but Danny's was so bad. read more

I love Danny's, always best prices, solid repairs & he will make it right if there's a problem. New location is bigger, cleaner and has restrooms- yeehaw! read more

Danny and his team are exceptional hard working and kind people, oh and they just so happen to be the best mechanics!! Danny is up front, honest and always makes sure we are well taken care of. Happy to have referred my new teen driver to Danny as he has always made sure our vehicles are safe and road worthy. read more

I have never trusted any mechanic this much. Our whole family, and company (total 9-10 cars) have been using Danny for at least 6 years. He gives a good deal, and only sells you what is necessary. He is extremely trustworthy and does a great job. He works on our new subaru's, old trucks, new trucks, everything. He gave me the best deal on tires I could find! He does everything from tune ups to full blown rebuilds for us. HE ROCKS! read more

Plain and simple, Danny is the best most reliable mechanic. I can't say enough good things about him and his work. Danny has worked in my car many times over the years and he is always consistent, fair and reliable ! read more

Danny always gets my Chrysler 300 Srt in on the day that I call him and gets the work done for about half the price of other local mechanics. I love supporting a family owned business. We bring all of our family vehicles to Danny. read more

I have done business with DAR based on a recommendation and found the service to be honest and reliable. I was in the process of choosing DAR as my go-to mechanic, but unfortunately mistakes were made during a tune-up that affected my vehicle at a later date. I took my vehicle back to DAR, but they found no problems, claimed it was bad gasoline and billed me for the time. Dissatisfied with that answer, I took my vehicle to a different shop, which located the problem while I waited and repaired my vehicle to my satisfaction. read more

there's no reason to go anywhere else for auto repairs. Danny not only takes care of your needs, he's value conscious and appears to simply love fixing cars. awesome. dependable. reliable. honest. affordable. read more

Danny was amazing. I got here around 5pm, and even though they close at 6, he accepted my car when other places would have said no. He saw I had a faulty battery and then INSTANTLY jumped into his OWN truck and then picked up a battery. Had me out with an hour. Just for reference, the auto shop next door said they wouldn't see my car till another 3 days later. Danny was instant and honest. Any car problems and I'm coming back. read more

This shop never lets me down. This is an honest, reliable auto mechanic who I highly recommend. He isn't always the cheapest, but is not over priced and is VERY FAIR. His labor prices are very reasonable. For stuff like breaks you might find the job cheaper else where, but the parts aren't quality parts. So when I say he isnt the cheapest, its because he only puts parts in your car he knows will last you. For the quality and service you get, the price is more than reasonable. For instance, my timing belt just snapped on the freeway. It costs me $750 to get fixed, I got the timing belt replaced, water pump and shaft replaced, all engine seals, oil change, tranny fluid added, coolant replaced, new crank shaft. Oil change was something he threw in for free knowing I was on a tight budget but obviously needing it done. He is a great mechanic, and I am so glad I found him. Ive used him for almost 3 years now and REFUSE to go else where. He even told me when I bought a bad car, when he couldve taken advantage of it. He is just phenomenal. From our conversations upon my visits I also know he continues his education on cars. They work on ALL CARS there. This is the mechanic people wish and hope for, but never find. Go to Danny. read more

The Best! Great service! Great price! $60 cheaper than other places. $200 cheaper than Vw dealership! Fixed in no time! read more

Danny's Auto Repair - Auto Repair Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The very first things that I look for are a busy shop, and a CLEAN shop. Danny's Auto Repair was both. Beyond initial impressions, Danny himself is a knowledgeable craftsman who takes obvious pride in the service his shop provides. Prices were below dealer cost, but quality was superior. Bottomline, give Danny's Auto Repair a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

We've used Danny as our only mechanic for the better part of twenty years. I guess I don't need to say much beyond that!

This place does good work for an affordable price if you can actually get in. The problem is that most times they just turn away business. Even more frustrating, on 3 different occasions I've called ahead and been told I could bring my vehicle in only to arrive and be told that they have no time to work on my vehicle. It's like they don't even take appointments, I have no idea how a shop runs like this. Also, Google says they open at 8, but no one is ever there until closer to 9am. This shop is in my neighborhood and I have tried to support it, but I can no longer waste my time hoping they might be able to get my work done. Save yourself some time and frustration and just go to a shop that will make an appointment and hold it for you. read more

The best! Super friendly, to the point, explains the situation and options. Takes the extra time to make sure everything is in working order. Reliable and affordable and always does a super job when I need help with my car. read more

I had both of my vehicles worked on by Danny. Sort of emergency stuff. He's quick and efficient. Took them in in the morning got them back by 6pm that night. Mahalo to Danny n his team. read more

Great service, same day turnaround. Danny got my muffler & exhaust pipe replaced for a much better price than what I was quoted elsewhere. I would absolutely bring my car back for any future repairs. read more

Danny has taken care of all my cars for over 20 years. He is the most trustworthy & kind mechanic you will ever find. Every time he works on your vehicle he will explain what he's done, why it was needed. If he can he'll find a way to keep your car going for less money until you can go for the big ticket change necessary. Also he makes me laugh! read more

Danny's our guy!!! He really helped us with our cursed Kia Sportage. He was honest about what needed to be done and what might need to be repaired in the future. Danny didn't add anything unexpected, there have never been any surprise costs or repairs. He also knows a lot of other folks in the car community who will help with other auto services such as body repair, tires or even where to look for a nice, used car. He's truly the best, we wouldn't go anywhere else. The shop has an old-school, honest feel to it. And he's located very close to our home. read more

I've been to Danny's a couple times now to have my truck worked on. One time was fairly urgent. Now, I'm more upset at myself because I should have known better. He seems to do a job that just barely gets the job done. In addition, it takes several days or even a week at least to get the job done. I've never heard of it taking this amount of time elsewhere. I do not recommend his work. Go elsewhere if you can. read more

Had very high hopes for this shop as the reviews here made this shop look promising. Sadly this was not the case. I went in to get my car ready for DEQ, however Danny pushed the sale of an unnecessary oil change and tuning a mass air flow sensor that as soon as I left his shop I had to replace. I work at jiffy lube and shortly after my visit to Danny's our in house ASE mechanic pointed out that there were no visible signs that any work had been done on the car and if even a visual inspection had been done they would have noticed that my catalytic converter was significantly damaged along with an fairly constant oil leak. Save your money and stay away from this shop. They are thieves read more

Danny has been working on our cars for years. He is hands down the only person we trust to work on our vehicles. We now live outside of Portland and will continue to make the drive in just to see him. He is so honest and trustworthy, both very hard qualities to find in a reliable mechanic. I can not say enough good things about him and this shop. read more

First time going to Danny's Auto Repair was worth the trip got my car fixed and returned in two days didn't get overcharged like other places quoted me was honest and straight forward I would highly recommend him to my friends/family read more

I can not say enough good things about Danny's Auto Repair! We went in to find out the problem on one of our cars. After being ripped off from another mechanic and then being told that we still needed another $700 worth of work immediately, we went to Danny's for a second opinion based on the Yelp reviews. He listened to my concerns, did a full diagnostic and then reassured me the work would be half the price if not lower. My car was fixed and then checked and rechecked to make sure it was running smoothly. I am so appreciative of the honesty, integrity and hard work that was put into repairing my car. Thankful for the reviews that led me here and will definitely trust Danny's Auto Repair for any future repairs and will recommend this shop to all of my Portland friends. read more

I have never (repeat, NEVER) trusted any mechanic like I do Danny. I've always done my own DIY investigating into my car problems, including pulling my own codes. I've had Danny confirm everything that I've ascertained on my own and has charged me such a nominal amount, I can't even comprehend how he makes a profit. He never overcharges for parts or labor. He is unbelievably fair and in addition, he has gotten even the most complicated repairs done in one day or less. I'm just elated to have found him and want to highly recommend him to everyone who is reading this. Danny is the REAL DEAL in every sense of the word. I hope other mechanics can learn from someone as honest and sincere as this wonderful man. read more

I have been going to Danny for 17 years now... can't believe it's been so long! When you are a woman looking for a mechanic it's hard to know if you are being taken advantage of. I've sent many family members and friends to Dannys Auto and everyone has always been very pleased. Not only is Danny an awesome mechanic but a genuinely honest and nice guy. read more

Everything posted here is on-target. Nicest guys. Good communication. Overly fair prices. And extras... just because that's how they roll. Do yourself a karmic favor and don't let these guys short-change themselves, so they stay in business forever. read more

I was totally amazed at the service, honesty, and unbelievably low price at Danny's . He's a nice guy and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this gentleman. Ron B read more

This place is excellent! My '87 Suzuki Samurai FAILED DEQ with flying colors so I took it to Danny and he worked some serious magic and fixed all the problems. He finished by the end of the day and charged me hundreds less than I expected to pay given all the work that I know went into the tune up. If I could rate more stars I would. Thanks Danny! read more

Danny is a competent and trustworthy mechanic. He has kept our 2000 Toyota Sienna with 100,000 miles in good safe operating condition. His prices for major repairs are WAY lower than prices quoted by dealerships. I highly recommend Danny's. read more

6 stars if it were possible! Danny went far and away beyond the call of duty repairing my son's 1997 Toyota Camry. It was leaking oil and I knew it needed a rear main seal replacement, front cam seal replacement, and crank seal replacement. I also wanted to change the timing belt since I knew the engine would have to come out of the car in order to change the rear main seal. I called Danny with my list of four repairs and he gave me an estimate of $950. Considering that other estimates were more than double that amount, I decided to go with Danny. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made! To make this a little easier to digest, I am just going to list the repairs I originally requested, then list all the repairs that Danny did in addition to those. ORIGINALLY REQUESTED REPAIRS * replace rear main seal * replace front cam seal * replace crank seal * replace timing belt ESTIMATED COST: $950 REPAIRS ACTUALLY DONE * replace rear main seal * replace front cam seal * replace crank seal * replace timing belt * replace water pump (the oil was leaking on it - it was about to go) * flush and fill coolant (fill required with water pump change - flush was a bonus) * replace timing belt tensioner (spring was getting weak) * replace oil pump seal (also leaking oil) * replace oil pump housing gasket (leaking oil) * replace AC / alternator belt (getting old - opportune chance to change) * replace power steering belt (getting old - opportune chance to change) * rotate cylinder heads 1/4 turn to prevent oil leakage * found an old Viper alarm system fob, removed the EPROM chip from my non-functioning fob and put it in the used one - now I have a working fob! * installed a security alarm kill switch on the lower left panel of the driver compartment - just in case of emergency TOTAL COST: $1080 So for $130 more than the original estimate for much less work, the Camry is running better than ever. I didn't even realize that the fast idle on start-up had not been working before until Danny fixed it. Now it starts up at fast idle and goes right down to 750 rpm like it should once the motor warms. Sitting at a stop light, it is nearly as quiet as my Prius, only the Camry engine is still running! My coolant is clean and clear as it has never been. I had it flushed professionally before and also had tried it myself, but it never looked really clean. Now it does. The Camry is approaching 150,000 miles and after Danny's repairs I feel quite confident that it will go another 150,000 miles with ease. Danny is that rare person who sees a problem and cares enough to go to work making it right. The whole security alarm and fob replacement he did as a favor at no charge and without telling me about it first. What a pleasant surprise to come get the car and find that I now have functioning electronic door locks and alarm! If you need car repairs, go see Danny. read more
