I brought my 3 series BMW in for an oil change, new battery, and new window regulator since my passenger one died on me. These guys guys worked fast and came in way under what other shops quoted me for the exact same service. They performed an inspection and replaced some other things like an air filter that wasn't looking too hot. I got the car home and the check engine light came on, I called and they sent someone out to me to run the codes to make sure everything was OK in case we needed to get it back to the shop. Turned out it was just a loose radiator cap (needed another 1/4 turn lol...sensitive BMWs) but I really appreciated the customer service. Do yourself a favor and trust these guys with your next car service. You won't be disappointed!

We had them do a vehicle inspection prior to buying it from out of state, and they were the best. Super thorough, detailed reports that were easy to understand. Helped us avoid a few surprises, and all for an incredibly reasonable price. Great to deal with.

Awesome service very friendly staff... Their knowledge is dependable...


Mar 07, 2024

Took my car in and was very satisfied with their work and speed. They were also very honest and didn't try to upsell me on anything extra. They went above and beyond what was required. Will be going back for any additional needs


Feb 07, 2024

Always the best price and best service. I recommend this place to everyone. Fred and his team are amazing

Best preowned vehicles around!!


Feb 07, 2024

Great car mechanic experience, they replaced my transmission and I go here for my oil changed and general service. This mechanic shop is affordable and honest.


Feb 07, 2024

I am so glad I chose New Kid On the Block to do my auto repairs. They were so nice and did a stellar job. They made things easy for me to understand and definitely didn't over charge me. My cost was almost half of what the dealer estimated for the work I needed done. I will d gladly recommend New Kid On the Block to anyone who needs auto repairs. Thank you so much.

I’ve never met a more honest or knowledgeable group of mechanics. Nissan dealerships tried to charge me 3200 for an entire driveline on my truck. They fixed it for under 200. I’ll never go anywhere else ever. Same with my wife’s car. Every time they find some tiny thing dealership say is huge. This is the spot your looking for. Period. Don’t be a jerk to them no matter what they say. Your getting a deal. 100% recommend.


Feb 07, 2024

Our family has used Fred's (& employees) services several times in the last year. A close friend of ours highly recommended him. He is the kindest and sweetest man and incredibly trustworthy which is a breath of fresh air in that industry! You'll know the minute you meet him. We will forever be customers because of the experiences we've had!


Feb 07, 2024

These guys are great! Communicative and straight forward. Will for sure be continuing my business with them


Feb 07, 2024

This guy is a crook. He takes advantage of people who don't know anything about cars. He replaced parts that don't need replaceing. He lies to customers. Do not ever go here.


Feb 07, 2024

This shop is absolutely top notch! Fred has taken care of our friends and family for over 20 years they are the most fair and trust worthy company aspecialy as far as mechanics go. Their level of integrity is unheard of these days but so very appreciated. I'm so thankful to Fred and New Kid on the Block employees! Thanks again for your quality of service! The Drakes

Very sociable and respectful all of them


Feb 07, 2024

Went to get my transmission replaced with a used one $3500- under warranty but I’ve had to take it back several times because it’s still slipping. Testing says it’s okay but 2 other Reputable mechanics and over $200- later say no it’s not fixed. Took it back two more in a week before the warranty was up to get them to look internally at it only to have the Owner tell not to come back when I can to pick it up. They didn’t tear it apart at all yet say nothing is wrong Calling the BBB and the news station’s for investigation


Feb 07, 2023

Amazing people and top notch work , plus they get your car in and out quick ! I use them for all my vehicle needs and I will continue to do so


Feb 07, 2023

Excellent work and customer service.


Feb 07, 2023

Fred and his crew are an absolute delight to work with. Known him for over 3 years. My family will only take our cars to him for repair now.


Feb 07, 2023

Having a fair and honest mechanic is one of the most important things these days. New kid on the block was able to get me in promptly and get all my maintenance and repairs done at almost a moments notice so I could go on a road trip. Extremely happy with the customer service and knowledge. I would definitely recommend!


Feb 07, 2023

I have had 7 or 8 repairs done at this shop on multiple vehicles in the last year and a half. It's a good feeling to have a shop that I trust that is close to me in Milwaukie.


Feb 07, 2023

I own a car business, I take all my cars here. Hands down the best service, VERY fair prices. Alway helpful and excellent quality repairs. I will continue to use this place as long as I’m in business. Thank you for always being so great to my company .


Feb 07, 2023

I would never buy a used car here ever again.There is a response from this shop that denies selling used cars. Which is a lie. They sell online through Facebook market place. They can deny all day long. But fact is fact.


Feb 07, 2023

I've taken my vehicles here for years. Always been a straightforward diagnosis, fair prices, and quick turnaround. This shop is backed by decades of mechanic experience and it shows.


Feb 07, 2023

I’ve been working with New kids on the block for years now , and my father many many years . Fred the owner is simply amazing , kind , and when it comes to mechanics the best in town . I will continue to support him and his business as I know I’ll always be taken care of .


Feb 07, 2023

NKOTB is an outstanding company. Knowledgeable folks who know the right fix and never tries up sale unnecessary parts. I've done business with both the Repair shop and 503autos. I have trusted my personal and company vehicles to Fred and the guys for years.


Feb 07, 2023

Took my SUV here to get my window fixed they did a really great job with that but when I took it back to get it fixed for my Deq testing and to get my blinker fixed cost 415 and the problem was never fixed I feel like they gave the run around and had to bring it back at least once going to try a different mechanic in the future because when I first set up my appointment they said they could also do the GEQ testing but then was told they don't do that. Just saying nice warning that if your woman I wouldn't take it your car to this mechanic because they pretend like they fix the problem then the same problem happens again within 3 days and the mechanic was a willing to fix the problem we paid we paid him for in the first place is we were told we paid for just the blinkers to be fix which cost $415 and we have taken our truck to deq for test and still didn't pass waste of money right before Thanksgiving


Feb 07, 2023

Very attentive and friendly staffs with an excellent price range.
