    A couple of weeks ago I started my car and this 'Code 52' took over the dashboard speedometer…read morepanel. No check engine light - just the Code 52. I HATE when I have car issues because I dont really know how to fix it, other than to take it to the repair shop and then...... who knows, you know? So I googled it (of course!) and found out that because my car had just turned over to 100K miles, the Code 52 was an 'urgent' code stating that the timing belt (and water pump etc) needed to be replaced. Oh crud!! So I called around and got ball park estimates. The gamut ran from $1800 down to $800/$900. Well of course I wanted to go with the lowest possible but then someone suggested I give Jim Estes Garage a call. I am SO glad I did!! I spoke to the nicest man, Ron. He is (I think) the manager in charge of the garage. I explained to him what was going on and He gave me a quote which was a couple hundred dollars above the lowest, so I told him what they had quoted and Ron went back and reworked his figures and quoted me just a wee bit above the lowest garage!! I was impressed! I dropped my car off, and asked how much it would cost to have my transmission fluid checked and topped up if needed and he told me they would be checking all my fluid levels 'no charge' - What???!!! WOW!! I also told him not to worry about the TMP light (it had been flashing on for about a month- meaning, it seems, that either a TMP device had died or been lost) - that I would take care of it with my tire guy when I switched to my snow tires in a month. My car was done that afternoon, but I opted to wait until this morning to pick it up because my Daughter was able to give me a ride to the shop. I got there and the price was exactly as I expected so I was verrrrry happy! (you know what I mean, how many times do you get there and they tell you either that the price is a ton more OR they start trying to upsell you on something else that is 'wrong' with your car??) When I got in the car I noticed that not only was it running really well, but the TMP light was off!! Which meant they fixed it for me no charge!!!! I am SO impressed with Jim Estes Garage!! Not only are they fantastic Car Fixers, but they are just SO nice!! I will be taking my car to them for repairs from now on!!

    The girl at the front desk acted like she was very entitled. I'm assuming she is related to someone…read morethat owns the company. I had to take my car back twice to fix my carburetor. Before I left, Jason told me that more work is needed and to call them in 2 months and make a new appointment??? I talked to a few friends from Oregon City and they all told me the same thing, that the place has never been the same since Jim handed the company over to his kids.

    My car needed what I knew to be a fairly expensive service. I needed a timing belt( also known as a…read moreserpentine belt) and, with that, a water pump replaced. While they were at it, I wanted them to replace the A/C/ alternator belt and they noticed the drive belt( s) were cracked. This is normal if your car has reached 90K-100K miles... check your manual. I was worried about waiting too long to have it replaced and needed a complete engine replacement if my belt broke- a real concern. Checkpoint Motors quoted me $950. This was after a friend said he'd do it for $550 and then couldn't. Maybe my friends quote was too low... I may never know. I told them I had a work schedule which was unpredictable, and asked if they had availability TOMORROW. They did!! Amanda was great to speak with on the phone initially and was communicative throughout the day, as my car needed to be at the shop for the entire day. After finding out that Checkpoint wanted permission to also replace any gaskets from which they saw seepage, I was freaking out a little. I asked them to only replace any which truly needed it, as they had access to a few more things with the timing belt accessible. They were sensitive to my concerns and, after all was finished, the final bill came in much better than expected. The Checkpoint Motors mechanic was able to get in and out quickly, my other gaskets were not seeping and my drive belts were replaced because they were cracked ( normal on an older car). I was happy to get my car back early for nearly $200 less than quoted. The squeaky belt noise is gone and, since I own a Toyota, all I need is an oil change now and to change out a few fluids. My car runs great. They even were nice about using my Yelp $20 off check-in coupon. I couldn't be more pleased with what I expected to be a stressful experience. I feel the Checkpoint Motors staff was reputable and made my first experience with them a very good one; I'd definitely recommend you try their services.

    I've been coming to checkpoint for many years. I trust them. great customer service.read more
