Excellent, immediate service! How fortunate for us that our truck happened to quit right beside the North Star shop, and the mechanic was very nice to help us out.

This (He) is my "Fixer of All Things Automotive" as well as a future caller of preventive maintenance if noticed and needed! If you want to feel safe and secure in your automotive travels near or far, the repair price given is more than competitive, plus the service given is not only professional but personable. This is the only mechanic that will always direct you to the best quality and price to fit your budget if need be!

Wilson is the only mechanic I trust with my car. He's smart knowledgeable and fast. His prices are incredible when paired with his knowledge. I wouldn't trust my car in the hands of anyone else. He'll fix your car and then show you everything he did and what else may be causing issues which isn't something I've seen any other mechanics do.

Wilson fixes cars three ways: He fixes them fast and he fixes them good and fixes them for lowest price. And they stay fixed. Satisfied customer since 2014

Feb 07, 2024

Honest, dependable and quick. Reasonable prices, as well. I don't plan on bringing my vehicle anywhere else.

I had such a great experience here! They were kind, honest, and took the time to show/explain things to me so that I really understood what was going on with my potential oil leak. I’m so excited to have found my new go-to mechanic in Portland!

Feb 07, 2024

I took my car in for an inspection and repairs before a long road trip across the country. Wilson was upfront and honest about the work that should be done on my car. He took the time to explain and point out the potential problems. Great service and fair prices provided for a tight deadline.

Feb 07, 2024

NorthStar Automotive has extremely fair prices and quality work. Wilson did an excellent job with my repairs. I would not go anywhere else to get my car fixed!

Feb 07, 2024

The nicest, most proficient service. Was the most satisfying service experience ever!! World trust them to do any service I need. Thank you.

This is the first time I’ve used Northstar and I have nothing but positive feedback to share. I’m from out of town and my car had a serious problem resulting in it completely shutting down. Got towed to Northstar and Wilson took great care of me and the car. Squeezed me in, diagnosed the problem, explained everything to me and got the repair done in less than 24 hours. If I lived local I would use Northstar as my regular mechanic.

Feb 07, 2023

Affordable pricing and very kind employees. As a cully resident, will be coming back! (Hopefully my car doesn’t break down though)

Amazing amazing amazing. I am blown away by the level of professionalism, honesty, and customer service that I received from Wilson and Jess! I called and they got me in same day. I had to leave my car overnight for repairs, and it was done first thing the next morning. It was so fast! I could tell that they genuinely cared about me and my vehicle. Wilson was incredibly transparent throughout the whole process. He was super knowledgeable, informed, and very thorough. He went above and beyond for me and my car and got me back on the road with no shenanigans. The prices were very fair and there wasn’t anything unexpectedly added to the bill. I am SO happy I found this little family run business. They earned a lifelong customer and I hope they win you over, too!

Feb 07, 2023

Bring you car here. Wilson and Jessica gave me the best customer service i have ever received in an auto shop. I appreciate Wilson for taking time to teach me about my vehicle and explaining in detail why and what he was replacing. I am happy with the way they took care of my vehicle, the price, and how kind they were to me. Their shop dog too was a delight. If you need a mechanic you can trust, these guys are it.

Feb 07, 2023

Customer service was very good, Wilson went above and beyond. Pricing was very fair. 100% would recommend.

Feb 07, 2023

Honest and reliable. I will go nowhere other than Northstar

Feb 07, 2023

I found this place just down the street from where I live and I'm so happy I did. Wilson is the best, he explained everything with such detail. Great prices and my car was done the next day. Don't hesitate giving him a call.

Feb 07, 2023

Jess & Wilson are delightful people :) It was a much different experience then working with a bigger shop, in addition to being very personable, knowledgable, providing quality work, and even some fun stories along the way, their prices are also very fair. It felt like hanging out with friends. Northstar Automotive is my new go-to spot for my pickup truck.

Feb 07, 2023

The absolute best mechanic I've ever been to. Fair prices, super honest, will show you exactly what's going on. I took a car here for a buyer's inspection and they saved me from buying a car with upwards of $3,000 worth of repairs the dealership hadn't disclosed, Wilson and Jess are the nicest people ever, I can't recommend them enough!

Feb 07, 2023

Very friendly honest (reasonable pricing) I been coming for over 4yrs and always satisfied with the work he has done on my cars. I highly recommend Wilson to family and friends when they are looking to get repairs done.

Feb 07, 2023

Very honest and capable mechanic.

Feb 07, 2023

Wilson is incredible! I drove to Portland, from northern Washington, in the beginning of April for job training, about a week ago I went to Wilson because my car was smelling like burned oil. I stopped by Wilson’s shop to have it looked at and he was so kind and knowledgeable regarding the problem and didn’t even charge me! I called him a few days later and had a conversation about next steps, he spent 15 minutes helping me understand what is best and what to expect with my car. Never charged me a cent for any of his time! Unheard of, I would definitely recommend this business and wished I lived closer so it could be my regular mechanic.

Feb 07, 2023

Wilson is the best mechanic I’ve ever had! Honest, reliable and friendly. Best automotive business in Portland.

Feb 07, 2022

I really appreciate honesty and quality service above all. Great place. Work done in a timely basis.

Feb 07, 2022

This used to be a great place took my car there multiple times went by today to ask if I could have the repair done on my car and he made up some huge story and said he wouldn't work on my car no more cuz I tried to blame him for something I've never once he tried to blame it for anything it always paid him for his services I thought we had a really good relationship what a weird experience.....,..... Okie dokie thanks!!!!!! Never once have I ever ordered any services from you or any other company and never showed up and never did that that is such a b bogus story you just got a problem with me that's all

Feb 07, 2022

Wilson is always great. He is honest, ver professional and very friendly. Habla español, para las personas que no hablan inglés o nos sentimos más cómodos con el español.

Feb 07, 2022

Wilson is my hero!! He is so knowledgeable and isn’t above explaining the issue in detail. I really appreciate his good work.

Feb 07, 2021

After a catastrophic oil leak manifested on our older Subaru, I was feeling overwhelmed by the prospect of either trying to fix the problem myself or find a mechanic who wouldn’t charge 3 times what the car is worth to do the work. Besides the wizards at Ron’s Front End on Foster, my experiences with mechanics have mostly left me feeling very reluctant to have others work on my vehicles. Wilson certainly has restored a bit of my faith in the good that is possible in the world. He is incredibly thorough and candid about what the work requires and what not to undertake given context and budgetary concerns. I would recommend anyone with any problem with their vehicle to get it checked out here first. Wilson is a straight shooter and if he’s got the time to field your issue, you’ll be glad you trusted Northstar to do the work.

Feb 07, 2021

Best auto shop I've ever been to. Wilson is honest, fair, and even told me the fixes I could do myself to save money. I've been recommending this place to friends and family.

Feb 07, 2021

Great place to get you car fixed. He works on everything and can find any problem you have on your car.

Feb 07, 2021

I found this shop through a friend who has been going to them for years. I had Wilson inspect a used 2006 Honda CRV I was looking at and do the repairs on the 2002 CRV I ended up purchasing. I brought it in for an oil change and some other repairs. He got all the parts and repairs done really quickly. He pointed out to me and explained what needed to be done and why, and afterwards showed me the broken parts that he had replaced. The price for parts and labor was fair and now my car is running great. I will be coming here from now on for oil changes on up and spreading the word about this honest and exceptional mechanic! Thank you Wilson & Northstar Automotive!

Feb 07, 2021

One of the fastest and most efficient service stations we have ever used. Wilson had our car done the same day. Friendly and very knowledgeable. We will always use them. Thanks Wilson Jason and Amber

Feb 07, 2021

Very honest and communicative. Wilson is an excellent technician and is very transparent about everything. He also includes an engine/drivetrain diagnostic with any work done so that you have a good idea of what needs to be done. I will be coming here to keep my VW alive

Feb 07, 2021

Wilson Gonzalez is an excellent mechanic who offers fair prices for his work.

Feb 07, 2020

Wilson is amazing, if your not coming here your messing up. He was quick, cheap and honest. I had a car window that wasn’t rolling up. I went to 2 other places the day before. The first place quoted me $360, the second place quoted me $650 to fix the broken window motor. North Star was way less than both of them and fixed the window in less than 3 hours from when I brought it in. Don’t go anywhere else, Wilson is the man!
