St John's Auto Center

Jan 30, 2025

I started coming here for all my car needs after they were highly recommended by multiple coworkers. They are honest, reasonable, and good mechanics! I had warning lights coming on my Jeep’s dash that even the dealership couldn’t figure out. This placed solved the problem quickly! Without prompting, they even provided me with a part number I needed that Jeep no longer makes so that I could purchase it online without their markup!! They have also given me realistic expectations of what kind of car problems need to be fixed immediately vs what can wait and how things could worsen without intervention. I have never felt pressured by them and they have even reasonably dissuaded me from doing unnecessary repairs on my car that I suggested. There was a small mishap one time when my car came in for an oil change and I called just to let them know what happened. They took full responsibility, apologized for it without any excuses, refunded my money, AND immediately fixed a minor follow up issue from it without charge. Any other place would’ve told me to kick rocks, but Troy made the situation right and has gained a customer for life. I highly recommend St John’s Auto Center!

Really quick! My Acura had its check engine light come on, and while it took a few weeks to get in, I was in and out in one day and <$300 which is awesome given how old my car is. Would recommend and definitely going back for my oil change.

Great service. The cost of the repair was very reasonable. My check engine light was on & they identified the problem & solved the issue. My car passed the DEQ inspection a few days later. Troy explained the service that needed to be done & was very helpful.

I called this shop at 5pm on a Friday after noticing my car was leaking oil on my way home from work. Dan told me to bring it right in, even though I'd never been here before. So I drove down the street and they got it fixed up right away! Turns out, when I got my oil changed at a different location (just down the road from these guys) a couple of weeks ago they forgot to tighten the oil filter all the way...ugh! Thank you St. John's Auto Center for helping me out last minute on a Friday evening! I will DEFINITELY be doing my oil change here from now on. I can't recommend these guys enough!

I called with questions and the person on the phone was very helpful. Took his time to explain and gave references of other places as well.

I'm never taking a vehicle elsewhere.....unless I leave NoPo

These guys came highly recommended as an honest auto shop and they were right. We had some maintenance done as well as couldn't get the electric doors to open which turned out to be a switch. They could have run us through the ringer because we had no idea, but they didn't. They are super friendly and the service was very quick.

Feb 06, 2023

They were really awesome gave me turn by turn directions also stayed open late on a Friday and make sure I had the pieces I needed to fix the transmission and sent me on my way 10 out of 10

Feb 06, 2023

Troy is straight up thorough and repairs things right...old school that's the reason I keep going back. DIRK

Absolutely loved this place. First time user and I found Troy to be honest and great to work with. He found and fixed an unexpected issue with the electrical line of my tow hitch at a very reasonable price. This is a place you can trust.

Feb 06, 2022

An honest to goodness trustworthy mechanic in the big city. Wasn't up-sold, overcharged or told that I needed elaborate repairs that I didn't need. I would definitely recommend St John's Automotive!

Feb 06, 2022

Definitely quality service, and fair pricing. I exclusively go there for both of the family vehicles and always walk away with a good experience.

Feb 06, 2022

I completely trust these guys, Troy and Dave are really good at what they do. No frills auto shop.

Feb 06, 2022

Trustworthy and fair pricing. I don’t take my truck anywhere else.

Absolutely the best, no doubt about it! Before St John's Auto, I'd taken my '96 Suburban to four different mechanics for a coolant leak, and I got BS responses ranging from "don't worry about it it's not a real issue" to having unrelated parts replaced without consulting me and then charging me for it! When I took the truck to St John's Auto, all my problems were solved! There was no BS. Troy listened to me when I told him what I thought the problem was, actually opened up the engine to make an accurate diagnosis, followed up with me and made sure the fix was what I wanted, then he did it! His team went the extra mile and showed me the leaking intake manifold (it's a miracle the truck was even running, hah) and Troy fixed a broken hose free of charge. I couldn't be happier with the truck now ready for a cross-country trip. These guys care about your vehicle and your wallet as much as you do. And the amount of respect and kindness they show you is unmatched in the industry. Thanks, St John's Auto!!

Excellent!!! work in a timely manner. Terrific people who go the extra distance. My T100 has never worked as well.

Feb 06, 2021

Excellent, honest, quality service. I've dropped my car off after it being broke down over the weekend on two occasions and it was promptly fixed even without an appointment. They are friendly and do honest, good work, won't be taking any of my cars anywhere else in town.

Feb 06, 2021

Friendly, neighborhood place. Quick, professional, honest & affordable.

Feb 06, 2021

Great place! Honest and trustworthy. I asked for an all-over check of a car that I'm giving away and they said it was in good shape. Only needed headlights fixed and I already knew about that. I will be a customer for life.

I've been bringing my Honda to St. John's Auto for years since I moved to Portland and have never had a complaint. Troy is the best, reasonable prices and no pressure. I would definitely recommend St Johns Auto for all your car repairs.

Feb 06, 2021

I've taken my Red 2001 jette to these guys twice now and they are just great. Everyone I've talked to have been friendly and helpful. They always take the time to explain what the problem is and how it should be fixed before doing anything. I truly appricate their honesty and thorough work. I also have to say that their prices are fair, I never felt like they were trying to overpriced me. Thank you guys!

Feb 06, 2021

One of the best places in N.Portland/St.Johns. honest good people. They have treated me well and taken care of my car needs with honest up front prices. If I dont need it done they will check and reassure me.

Feb 06, 2021

Super reliable automotive repair shop! Extremely trustworthy and candid about what is needed and what is not needed for repairs!

Feb 06, 2021

They got the car running, but returned the wrong alternator as a core to the parts supplier (I had the correct alternator core in back seat, and needed to return the defective one in the car). When I called to remind them of this, they politely explained that there was nothing they could do. I appreciated the attitude, but am still out a couple hundred bucks for the alternator.

You couldn't ask for a better mechanic in Portland. Fair pricing, good communication and fast. I'll always bring my cars to St. Johns.
