they are reliable, affordable honest, all staff in very nice I can't find as many kind words as I need to I recommend them 110%.

We've been taking our cars here for about ten years. Always friendly, affordable, and honest service.

Got my son's car checked out. They were super fast, very affordable and gave us honest feedback. Will be back!

I took my 2019 Outback for 60K standard service on the very high recommendation of a family member. Came to about $500 and there is no indication they did anything but change the spark pllugs - but that's not the worst of it. The car came back with a malfunction of the master passenger window switch (worked fine when dropped off). They took no responsibility for it and said it needed a new switch, $500 for the part + $80 labor. I went home and googled it, found out the malfunction was caused by a battery being temporarily disconnected and how to reprogram it - which I did it myself in less than 5 minutes. Long story short, these guys seem well intentioned but appear to be incompetent, at least as far as later model Suburu's go. read more

My car has been having issues with the tires, I called into Mickey's and they were able to get me in pretty quick! After not feeling right about the last place I took my car to get checked, I am glad I went to Mickey's Blake was very knowledgeable about what the issue might be and explained it to me in detail. He also referred me to a place that he trusted, which was able to get me in an out within the hour... I will be doing all my cars care and needs at Mickey's! Thanks guys! Amanda L read more

Surprise and delight! Professional, very price competitive, finished when promised, and actually suggested to NOT perform a certain service. Unfortunately, they are located in a very sketch part of town which would make me hesitate leaving my vehicle over night. I hope the area improves so they don't need to move. read more

Ok, these guys have heart to begin with in addition to great service at a fair price. Long story short they helped out my father in law when he was in a real pinch. They got it done and made him safe. Thanks Blake and crew !! Forever grateful. JP read more

Very pleasant experience! I was visiting PDX this last week when I realized I needed an oil change asap. I was so happy to find a local shop with such excellent reviews, and thankfully they were able to squeeze me in the next day. And these reviews don't lie! The oil change was quick, Doug at the front desk is really nice, and I am a happy customer! read more

Been bringing my '99 Ranger here for years. I trust these guys immensely. They tend to be booked out pretty significantly, so it's a good idea to plan ahead with your routine maintenance. read more

I am just barely enough of an amateur mechanic to know when I am being lied to. I came to Mikey's after a bad experience with my old Suburban where a shop in my neighborhood tried to sell me muffler bearings (so to speak). Mikey's was recommended by a friend for their honesty and I could not be more pleased. Not only did they not try to lie to me they steered me away from things I thought needed attention but they advised me could wait. Imagine, not trying to run up the bill! I will be back. Thanks Doug! read more

I was told I needed an $800 repair when the VW dealership looked at my car.... Took it to Mickey's and they told me it was such a minor issue (a very very slow oil leak) that it wouldn't be a real problem for several years. Now that's honest! How refreshing. Since then, they've helped me out several times, and I only have good things to say about them. They're the best. read more

I was helping my girlfriend buy a new car and needed a pre-purchase inspection, my friend recommended Mickey's Automotive so I called to make an appointment. Blake helped us schedule one and said "we do not charge for pre-purchase inspections". We were so shocked we had to call back to make sure we heard that correctly, yup no charge, wow most shops charge around $100, that's awesome! When we arrived they were efficient, communicative, and thorough. He said he would invite us back to the garage and show us any trouble spots he found. Luckily he found none! Afterwards he took the time to speak with us about the business and how he runs it. I left feeling I had just found an honest mechanic with integrity, rare. I hope I don't have to go back anytime soon but if so I know I'll get the quality and attention I deserve. If you live in NE Portland and need a car serviced I highly recommend checking out Mickey's. read more

Mickey's is SLAMMED with customers right now, and I know why. They do great work at an affordable price and never screw you over. My car called it quits on me over two weekends ago and I had it towed to Mickey's. They got to my car in order of their appointments for the week and took care of the alternator and the belt. It now runs as good as new and didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Blake is always awesome and takes great care of his customers. It is worth the wait to go to Mickey's right now, but be patient as they have A LOT of business coming in. read more

This is a Great place! Honest mechanic, very knowledgeable. Provides fast service and reasonable prices!

Wow, these guys are legit! I first met up with Blake and he was very professional and friendly and gave me a rough estimate of what he was going to check out with my car. I was expecting to pay for about a half hour labor to have my fuel system checked and cleared out. Well they didn't find what I thought they would but they still took the time out of their day to spend almost an hour with diagnostic. When I went to take out my card and pay,the gentleman (Beau I believe was his name but could be wrong?) said no charge. I was shocked! If I wind up with any other problems I will absolutely I've these guys my business!! *Update* 09/27/19 I wish I could just keep writing reviews for these guys but I'll update that I wound up buying a 2017 Chevy Volt from Ron Tonkin. Soon after buying it, it's started making a weird and very loud squeaking sound so I took it to Ron Tonkin to have them check it out since I had just bought the car from them a few weeks before... well they kept my car almost a week and then finally "looked" at my car and said they didn't see anything wrong.. of course the problem was still happening and after them blowing me off I called Blake and Beau and they said bring it in.. a few hours later Beau calls me back saying we fixed your car! It was a simple fix that they said there's no way someone who actually would have looked at my car wouldn't have been able to miss. I tried to offer payment for this fix but they wouldn't take it... I won't get into it but it's been a really hard time in my life and it brought me to tears (happy tears) to have them be so honest and caring to help me the way they have. These young men are honest and knowledgeable mechanics and I am now a life long customer of theirs for anything that will need work on my cars. Please give these guys your business if you want an honest and reliable mechanic read more

Will never go elsewhere for car troubles again. My wife and I have gotten both our cars serviced here. I am always anxious whenever I have to take the car in if there's an issue. I have been taken advantage of on several occasions over the years. Both Beau and Blake are kind, knowledgeable, fair and efficient. They didn't charge to diagnose either situation and gave us prices that were drastically less than 2 other places. Will come back for every problem and also oil changes/regular maintenance. Great referral from SI's Auto Body, which is also our go-to for body work as they are cut from the same cloth as Mickey's Automotive. read more

STOP what you're doing, and read this review. Really. It's important. I have never in my entire life had such an amazing experience working with a mechanic. I live in Austin, Texas, and was looking at buying a used car from a shop nearby Mickey's. I worked with Beau and Blake, and they were both beyond phenomenal. They looked the car over for me (I couldn't come up and see it in person) and did an extremely thorough job. They found a few shady things that had been done to conceal the big issues the car had, and helped me to see that I almost bought a lemon. On top of that, they didn't even charge me for the service! I wish that I lived in Portland so that I could sing their praises to all of my friends. But since I can't, I'm doing it here! Please give this place your business. They are honest, knowledgeable, and hardworking. What else could you ask for in a mechanic? read more

You know, I've been coming here for a few years now. What I admire most about this shop is that they will go out of their way to cut a cost for you and otherwise just be accommodating. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, and I drive an older, grumpier, car. So things have come up where I'm rolling into the closest establishment I can find, just wanting to know if the ole girl has still got a few years left. More than once, I have then come back to Mickey's, just wanting a straight answer and a little help. I now live in Southwest Portland but still make the trip alllllll the way back to Mickey's because I have better experiences there. And I am not the sort of person who likes an extra drive. In fact, I just left such a scathing review of the last nightmare I experienced in my new neighborhood, that I felt like the least I could do now was properly promote something better. I might get an oil change in my area out of convenience if I have to, but when it comes to just wanting the stupid car fixed without feeling swindled and possibly in tears, I have gotten the message that Mickey's is gold! An unpretentious location, kind of hidden behind the freeway and down a bumpy alley, their priority is just fixing the goddamned car for you and making everyone's life easier. Thank you! read more

My catalytic converter was stolen and I called and talked to Blake. He said if I dropped my car off the next day they could fix it in 1-2 days. I had to drop it off the next morning before they opened because I had to get to work. I dropped it off at 7:30, they opened at 8, and her called me by 9am and said it was done! He has ordered the part the night before right after I called him. My husband's catalytic converter was stolen 2 months prior and Blake fixed it and we had a great experience then as well. It is always such a struggle to find a legit mechanic, but we finally have! read more

This place is great! We have been taking our cars here for years and have gotten wonderful service every time. They are exceptionally honest and helpful and even after moving 30 mins away I continue to patronize them because they are that good. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

Heard some good things about these folks, and decided to give them a try. They squeezed me in at the end of the day. Oil change, new battery , and diagnostic's check. Had me in and out in less than an hour. Didn't try to sell me on any unnecessary repairs or parts. Fast, friendly, and everything you want in mechanic. Stop wasting your money at jiffy lube and all those other con-shops. Mickeys is the real deal and they will take great care of you. read more

I decided to get a pre-purchase inspection at Mickey's Automotive after seeing the great reviews on Yelp. I stopped by with the car on my way to the dealership with plans to purchase it that evening and I was in a pinch because I had no other form of transportation if this didn't pan out. I made the mistake of not making an appointment, and was told they were completely booked out for another week, but Blake was kind enough to set aside his current obligations and help me in a pinch. He gave me a full report for the car and was completely honest and even told me what to expect in the next few months/years for the vehicle. Very honest and trustworthy. Never going to take my vehicles elsewhere! read more

I had a perfect experience here this morning ! I took my 2013 Prius in for an oil change and had some concerns about the breaks. Blake was thorough and honest about everything. Didn't try to upsell me and communicated clearly what was going on. read more

Blake and his staff are the most honest, affordable, trustworthy mechanics I've ever met. Recently bought a van without getting a pre-purchase inspection and began to worry something was seriously wrong, basically went to Blake with a blank check. He gave me an oil change and told me everything looked great and it was just an underpowered engine, but totally mechanically sound. Was about to sell my Subaru and then it started making a terrible scraping sound that sounded like a rock was stuck in my brakes. Took it to a different mechanic who was "unable to recreate the sound" that had been constant for a week. They told me I needed new brakes, a brake fluid flush, and an "engine tune-up." For the same repairs, Blake quoted me about $400 less, but when I took the Subaru in to him, he said my brake fluid and engine were fine, my brakes were fine but my pads would need to be replaced in the next 10k miles. He then found the rock I swore was rattling around, removed it for free and didn't charge me a dime. I walked out of another mechanic with a misdiagnosed issue and an invoice for $850 worth of unnecessary repairs, and I walked out of Mickey's with the problem solved in under ten minutes and didn't spent a penny. I won't take a car anywhere else again. read more

Brought my car here after it wouldn't start. 2015 Hyundai Elantra. While waiting for tow I tried again and it started. After looking on yelp for a highly rated car repair shop I found Mickey's which has perfect reviews and for good cause. Beau was super knowledgeable and friendly. Even without an appointment he was able to fit me in and discovered it was loose wires which he tightened and he didn't even charge me. This act has inspired my loyalty and trust and I will only be bringing my car here from now on. read more

An honest neighborhood shop who charged me a very very reasonable rate for PDX in 2020.

Giving this place 1 star is too much! I originally called them a few weeks ago & spoke with Beau about my car's malfunction indicator light displaying. He said he can scan it for a diagnosis so based on this I told him I wold stop in. According to them & their posted hours of operation, they close at 5PM. I arrived at 4:45PM & saw no staff & the open sign was off. One employee came out named Blake & said they were closed, in a rude way. I asked why they closed 15mns early & he said with a bad attitude that it was his birthday so he needs to leave & he can't help me. He didn't apologize, didn't show any professionalism nor concern that he shut down the business early to go out. A few days later my MIL warning display just disappeared so I let it go, but a few days ago it came back again. I was in the area & decided to give them another chance so I called them & brought my car in again for a diagnosis. I handed Blake my keys & immediately saw that same pathetic, unprofessional bad attitude he famously displayed the first time I met him. He didn't say hi, didn't smile & acted like I was inconveniencing him. He came back with an estimate that contained a list of 3 areas of repair, so I wanted to confirm the details. I asked him what was specifically wrong with my car's housing assembly & purge valve, as I'm not a mechanic & I wanted to get a clear idea of my car's issues. He gave me a very rude look, then in a condescending way told me he doesn't have time to go into details about the repairs & that he's busy. I was shocked that he had the audacity to speak to me with such disrespect, and for no valid reason. I was so upset I just walked out! Blake should never have customer contact, in fact he was so rude & unprofessional that he should be fired, as obviously it's a pattern with him. Another staff member looked angry so this place just has bad energy & is not one to trust your car to. This place is a poor excuse for a legitimate business & these guys need to learn that the customer's satisfaction is the #1 priority. Their customers pay their bills so maybe one day they will learn this, after losing more business. Do yourself a big favor & find a professional mechanic shop that respects their customers, as these guys are clueless. read more

I've been taking my cars to Mickey's for 10-ish years, and I love these guys. Blake and Beau (and Mickey of course, when he was still working) have always been nothing but kind, professional, honest, and courteous. They always give me a completely honest opinion about which repairs and maintenance are really required. My wife says that Mickey's is the one shop where she's been comfortable going on her own without having to worry about being talked down to or taken advantage of because she's a woman at a mechanic shop. There have been several times where the work has come in cheaper than originally quoted, and they've also been willing to look around for a cheaper/non-OEM part when a brand new one was particularly expensive. I wouldn't dare go anywhere else. read more

First off, allow me to establish my credibility in writing this review. I have previously worked as an auto damage adjuster for insurance companies. My job was to inspect all damages to vehicles and determine if the mechanic/technicians were overcharging or lying (spoiler alert: they were). I know cars and I know how to weed through fabrications from mechanical or body shop staff. In fact, the industry is notorious for gouging customers for unnecessary or trumped up repairs. Almost everyone has a story of how they were taken advantage of or even lied to by an unscrupulous mechanic! Its as if Mickey's was the only repair shop to ever figure out that customers will give them business just for being honest and fair. They understand that by being the only honest mechanics, they are breeding loyalty in their clientele who will be back for repeat business. I am truly impressed by their ethics. Sometimes when gauging a mechanic I am unfamiliar with, I will *test* them by feigning ignorance about a supposed mechanical issue and seeing if they lie or up-sell. The staff at Mickey's have always passed these tests! Lastly, I am very impressed by how they do diagnosis for free! Even when its not clear if I can provide them with a subsequent repair job, they are always happy to check into my concerns and inspect the vehicle for free. I would expect to pay a reasonable diagnosis fee at any shop; they are the first I have found who does not charge a fee at all. They are surely going to be my only automotive repair shop in portland. read more

$10 to fix all-important A/C for cross-country summertime road trip! You read that right, Mickey charged me ten big 'uns to fix the freon leak in my g/f's car, which we subsequently drove all the way to Florida and back. A/C worked beautifully long afterward. Mickey's trick: liquid steel. For this, Mickey has earned my long-time patronage. Not all fixes are as fast or insanely cheap, but the man is fair, honest, and gets-r-done plenty fast fo' ya. Very conveniently located right off the Banfield @ 60th St. bridge. Mickey, you are the gloriously freon-chilled wind beneath our wings... read more

We had the most wonderful experience with Mickey's Automotive. Blake is such a nice and professional mechanic. It was recommended to us to go with them by not one but several people we know. We have nothing but good stuff to say about them if you're having any car trouble at all Mickey's is the place to go, absolutely!!!! read more

A friend recommended this place in 2007 when I first moved to Portland, I never went anywhere else again for car troubles until I moved out of state in the summer of 2019. In those 12 years, first Mickey and Dan then Blake and Beau treated me better than any mechanics I've ever met! Consistently honest, friendly and fair... Always willing to help me save money and offering better deals than anywhere else in town. I've referred multiple people there over the years and everyone always had an excellent experience and usually became loyal customers. I'm back on the East Coast now and I'm pretty sure I'll never find a mechanic like this in New Jersey! read more

Mickey's helped me out in a dire DEQ situation with my aging Corolla and I cannot be more grateful. Not only are Mickey and Blake extremely knowlegable, fair, and honest, they will make sure the job gets done in a timely manner without compromising quality. Both are also very down to earth and easy to chat with. Other mechanics I have been to were intimidating or condescending; this is definitely not the case here! They are located a block from a bus stop and also right by a MAX station which is super convenient if you need to leave your car overnight. read more

Thank you Mickey's! Blake and Beau are awesome, honest and knowledgeable. They inspected my vehicle for free...twice! It was a faint sound and took some effort to reproduce, but ended up being nothing to worry about. I tried to pay them something for their time and they politely declined. This after another local shop railroaded me to replace some HID headlamps, and then gave me a $3,000 estimate to "rebuild" my front end suspension. Do yourself a favor and take your vehicle into Mickey's next time you need mechanical work. read more

This place was recommended to me by a friend when my Subaru was feeling under the weather. I was in a situation where my check engine light was on and I needed to get through deq. I took my car here and it was so painless and he price was totally fair. It was ready that day. Mickey was also nice to let me know of other scheduled maintenance that was recommended for my car. He was definitely informative and not pushy and that's something you can really appreciate when it comes to car repair. I will definitely bring my car here in the future. read more

I accnot recommend these two guys enough. Seriously some of the best customer service I have ever received. Mickey and Blake have earned my trust. They are great at listening to your vehicle issues, and will do their best to explain what they think the problem is and what they will be doing. They also are amazingly fast to call when they have an estimate for the work they need to do and what it will cost. On the note of cost, they are surprisingly reasonable. I would gladly pay more for their time and expertise. Like other people have said on their reviews, Mickey and Blake are honest and fair. read more

This place is great! Very much recommend them. I've gone here twice thinking there was something wrong with my car but each time they were honest and told me I'm good. They could have totally been like yeah you need this and this and it's gonna be $$$$$$$ but they didn't. Also they are quick, super nice and they don't charge a diagnostic fee!!!!! read more

Mickey's Automotive is my new favorite auto shop. I brought my new (used) Honda CRV to the Honda dealership for a full check up and had a sizable list of work to get done for a hefty cost. I wanted to get a second opinion and a friend recommended Mickey's. I was pleasantly surprised with the thorough check up from Mickey's at a fraction of the cost and found out a few things listed from the dealership were unnecessary. Mickey and Blake were easy to talk to and work with as well as reliable and reasonable. They had no problem with hoisting my car up on the lift and explaining exactly what was going on and what they were going to do to fix it. I will definitely be returning for any future auto repair needs. read more

Needed to have my brakes replaced for the first time since I bought my car. I went to the dealership and was quoted $289. My roommate recommended Mickey's, so I gave him a call. Got a quote for $220, so I made an appointment. I could not be happier. It only took about 30 minutes, he answered all of my questions, and I learned a bit about brakes and rotors. Friendly, honest, and I left feeling confident about the work that was done. Big thumbs up, will definitely go back! read more

Knowledgeable staff, great service, the only place I will go. I have been going to Mickey's for years. Every time I go back, the service is better. Prices are fair. I highly recommend them. read more
