After 3 tries and $1300. Mowatts could not repair my intake manifold. I had to take it someplace else and it cost another $1000. This place has gone down the tubes. Caveat emptor! read more

Fair prices, trustworthy, personable and skilled mechanics. I highly recommend. It's difficult to find without the complete street address on GPS. read more

Can't say enough good things about Kevin and the service he delivers! I've brought my 05 Corvette to Kevin for everything from oil changes to very complex maintenance. I won't take it any place else! read more

The best in Portland. Honest and fair. Have been bringing my car here for 20 years. Highly recommended!

Loved this place! I was visiting from out of town when my car started acting strange (all sorts of scary warning lights coming on) and I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to drive back home. They answered the phone right away, told me to come by for a diagnostic, found and fixed the issue for free and I was out of there! If I lived here I would never go anywhere else. Would 1000% recommend. read more

Kevin and staff are excellent mechanics, they're as honest as the day is long. The only downside is that Kevin smokes in the shop...otherwise they're the absolute best. read more

Our family has used Mowatt's about three or four times now. We have finally found the shop we have been looking for. Honest people , swift work and not trying to sell us service we do t need. read more

Kevin mowatts is honest hard workers that rake pride in there work an make sure your leave with a working safe vehicle I don't go anywhere else now read more

Super nice guy. Gets the job done quick. Never come close to feeling like I was getting ripped off. I've even had him do quick fixes while I waited that he refused payment for. It is a small place though, and the secret is out, so you will probably have to book a week ahead to get work done. Still better than overpaying for bad work anywhere else. read more

Wow - Kevn Mowatt has a fantastic reputation that he has well-earned. Honest, hardworking, and highly competent and trust worthy. Couldn't ask for better. read more

6 hours to change shocks on Miata! Reminded me of the joke about 2 lawyers laughing about their hourly fee. One said: it doesn't matter what your hourly fee is so long as you're the one keeping track of the hours. read more

Fair, honest. We are very pleased. They don't use a computer to bill you on amount of time repair should take. Instead they bill you for actual time. That's always cheaper! read more

Very bad experience with these people. They totally misdiagnosed my car's problem as a Timing Chain "jumping a tooth", resulting in possible "Bent Valves". I was told it will cost $1000.00 just to look at it . Repair and parts would be extra. I said "No", and took my car away. I almost junked it, till a friend came by and said the valves and timing was fine. The problem was a bad EGR valve. $150 later, the car is running PERFECTLY. They would have done a TOTALLY UNNECESSARY top end rebuild which would not have even fixed the actual problem. I also found that these people charge LIST PRICE on the parts, which is a 200% to 300% mark up over what the auto parts stores sell the part for. They tried to charge me $400 for a Fuel Pump which retails at all the auto parts stores for $108 to $120. This means that while they are paying the Wholesale Price because they are a Re-Seller, they are charging their customers the Suggested LIST Price for nothing more than ordering the part and having it delivered FREE to their business by the local auto parts store. NOT EVEN THE AUTO PARTS STORES CHARGE THE LIST PRICE. I found this out the hard way when they charged me $300 for an alternator on another vehicle that I took to them, They bought the part from NAPA, NAPA's website shows the price at $105. When asked about it, Vicky admitted that they charge List Price on the parts. That is UNCONSCIONABLE. read more

Kevin is a kind, honest man and does great work. I have been going to see him for about 15 years. I love that he uses paper and pen for scheduling. I like to call Kevin's place "Old Portland" style. He's awesome! A few times I had car concerns- weird noises, etc., he said "stop by before work and I'll look at it"- he would check out my car and send me on my way, no charge. He's the best!!! I totally trust him. read more

I've been a loyal customer at Mowatt's for about 4 years now, and I would never go anywhere else for car repairs or inspections. They are incredibly honest, well priced, and accommodating. My car has been having a lot of problems this year (it's well loved and 150K on it) and they have been wonderful every time it needs servicing. My crankshaft sensor went one evening on my way home from work (car was basically stalling while driving, pretty scary) and I barely made it to their shop to leave it overnight in the hope that they could have time to fix it during the week. They somehow fit me in and it was ready to go by the end of the very next day!! Unfortunately the sensor was defective (not any fault of theirs), so I had the same issue a week later - they fit me in AGAIN so I could have it fixed the same day and they didn't charge me for anything, not even labor! read more
