The first shop I visited quoted an unreasonably high price for a new tire. Gills' quote was fair, and they mounted the tire and returned the spare to its nest in the trunk with skill and dispatch. Second, my car started telling me it needed service. Because it was fairly new to me, I didn't know what that meant. Gills took the l time necessary to talk with me about what was and was not needed. They were patient and understanding of my comparative ignorance of things mechanical. I recommend them highly.

Quote for tires was made quickly and was competitive, but didn't fit my time requirements.read more

I then filed small claims and mailed the notice via first class registered mail, however he twice refused the certified mail return receipt letter. The sheriff made two attempts to serve notice, however they claim he wasn't there or was hiding to avoid being served. He has now had the car for 19-months. One of last times we spoke, he said that he would keep trying once he pulls his head out of his ass -- it's obvious that hasn't happened. What a pathetic coward!

Yeah they are super busy, because they are good. No they are not French Concierge service, and thus will not live up to your ever so entitled expectations of pampering. Bottom line. They give you great service, cut right to the chase, and are very transparent in my opinion about their operation. I will be going back again and again as I have since they took over that building on Lombard.

This guy listened to me, called me right away with the diagnostic & estimate, and fixed it right up, and didn't fix anything that didn't need fixing. It runs great now & the bill didn't even go over a grand. I'd never been there before, even though I've seen it a million times as it's right across the street from Grocery Outlet. But it'll now be my go-to repair shop. If you're sick of automotive places ripping you off, and I know I am, take your car over to Madison. They ROCK.

I have a 1965 Karmann Ghia and she's my baby, but every once in a while, things go south. A few months ago was having some coffee a few minutes from my house and when I got back to my car, it wouldn't start. Luckily the employee at the coffee shop has a motorcycle and said they "knew a guy" that was very close by thats done great work on bikes and other vintage type vehicles that belonged to people he knew. I decided what the heck and I gave him a shot! When I called him and explained the issue he said he thought he knew what the problem was and came to me (he works on Porsches) and got my car started so we could get it down to his shop. Black Moon is a sweet, privately owned business right under the St. John's bridge in a double decked, converted shipping container. (Talk about Portland!) Within half an hour he has my starter all fixed and it's worked perfectly since! Now I'm just coming back for oil changes and tune ups. I'm so glad I found them!

The owner was very cool and figured out my wiring issue within ten minutes.

Like most people I have had more than my share of crappy experiences with places even when I generally like the mechanic something always comes up and they end up way over charging you on the estimate or completing work you didnt approve and then wanting you to pay for it etc. Needless to say I was reticent when I took my old 1996 Toyota 4Runner here to start the process of getting her road worthy again. My truck ended up needing more of a repair than what we initially discussed and after many hours on their part of trying to complete the original repair the crew at GD had to let me know she needed a little more than they bargained for. Instead of making me eat the cost of the exploratory surgery on my rusty old rig they took one on the chin and only charged me for the unexpected parts. For this reason I will be taking my truck back there again and again for anything she needs as long as its work they can do! Did I mention that our tech? We worked closely mostly with Caleb during the repair process and he was a refreshingly clear and open communicator about the process, this again is not what I have come to expect from a repair shop. Hurray that St. Johns has an awesome new business!

The dealership said it would be next Tuesday before they'd even be able to LOOK at it, but Anthony at Legacy (N. Lombard) said he could get to it that day or worst case the next.

Very responsive and competitive prices. Also provided me with competitive quote on new tires for near future (on my request). These guys are interested in a long term customer relationship. Highly recommend.

The shop isn't much to look at, other than being a time-capsule of sorts and some awesome LCs laying around...and you have to keep in mind that Larry, Josh's father, bought that place in the early 70's!

He went above and beyond getting the van into top shape for my drive back to LA and we spent 30-40 minutes going over the details of the van such as how to check all the fluid levels, things to watch out for, maintenance intervals, etc. The trip went off without a hitch and it was very easy to get used to the right hand drive. Over the past year, I have had a few incidents with the van (some my fault, some due to the age of the vehicle, some due to other mechanics) and Danny has always been not only extremely responsive, but also helpful in figuring out the fix, and was able to diagnose a few tricky issues from 1000 miles away! (bad fuel injector, idle surging, black smoke). At this point, I don't trust anyone else to work on this van and plan on making the 18 hour drive next time I need any serious work done because it's worth it! If you get one of these vans, you owe it to yourself to have one of the most knowledgable experts at your fingertips when you or another mechanic have questions about how to work on them. Oh yeah, when you buy from Vanlife Northwest, you have support for the life of the van. I'm not aware of any other dealers that offer that kind of customer service.
