I am the daughter of a retired mechanic. I'm extremely particular about who I take my cars to. These guys are hands down the best mechanics I've dealt with in my adult life. They are honest, give you all your options, and do quality work. It's peace of mind to have people that you can trust deliver any auto repair news, because let's face it, we'd all rather be spending our money on other things besides car repair. At least knowing you are being dealt a fair honest hand makes it easier to swallow.

Justin who works at All Around Automotive is a great guy. Friendly and he knows cars. They did a repair to fix some squeaking and it didn't work so they refunded my money. I've been using All Around Automotive for years and they do good work at fair prices. Convenient location too for those that live in the Richmond neighborhood.

This was the worst experience with a mechanic i have ever had. It took them two weeks to even look at my car and a month to repair it. After charging me 4-6 times the price of every part plus extensive labor costs they went on and on about how much of a deal they were giving me. Not even a month after the "repair" my fiance and I were moving to another state. We were driving in the middle of nowhere when my oil light came on.
Not even five minutes later my engine starts knocking and my engine is dead. All around auto supposedly did a full oil service and change. We ended up hiking 20 miles to get oil to find out the engine was beyond repair. We were stranded in the middle of nowhere, no mechanic could see us for 2 weeks and the insurance couldn't look at it until then, paid towing fees and had to sell my car for a fraction of the price to even get out of the town. Now we're without a car and looking for a new one on our own dime in a super inflated used car market. Avoid this place like the plague!

I have had nothing but great experiences with AAA and would (and do) recommend them! Everyone there is super friendly, and are great about explaining things I don't understand (which is most of it). I always feel like they are being honest with me about what's going on with the car. They call me when they have an idea of what the problem is, and give me all the details and options with price quotes.
They'll tell me what needs to be done ASAP versus what can wait if I don't have the budget for it. I've taken both my cars there for various things over the years, and always go there for services and oil changes. The turnaround is always quick, too. Thanks guys!

I can't recommend these guys enough. Choosing a trustworthy, efficient car mechanic can be tough. Once I found All Around two years ago, I haven't gone to anywhere else and don't plan to for as long as I live in Portland. Not only are they locally run, good at what they do, and keep prices as low as possible, but they are extremely honest and friendly people. Justin and James know almost all of their customers by name and are friendly with everyone that walks in.
That extra layer of customer service and getting to know your customers makes a huge difference. When I have to spend a lot of money on getting my car fixed (I have an old Toyota, so it happens a lot), going into All Around and laughing with James and Justin makes the whole experience better. It's like Cheers where everybody knows your name and can make fun of you for always forgetting to turn your lights off. If you're looking for a place that is great at fixing cars, doesn't escalate the prices, and has a great staff, then All Around is the place.
