Treated with complete disregard. I called in to set up an appointment to have my catalytic converter replaced. Told me they could do it that day, so I took the day off and dropped it off. They never touched my car and never bothered to even give me a call. Absolutely no respect for people.

Amazing shop and would recommend to anyone! In and out within a few hours and felt completely taken care of!

I had a wonderful experience here. I’ve been looking for a mechanic since moving to Portland, and they’ve 100% earned my business. Not only was I given great (and same day!) service, but also given some common sense and money saving advice for the long term care of my Honda. They really went above and beyond. Also gave me a loaner car!

I hate to leave a negative review, but I’d give them -5 stars if I could. Dane motors took a job of replacing an abs module for my Prius, which they never should have. They started the job in late October of 25 and it’s still ongoing. After their first failed attempt, I had to drive it around while they looked for a viable part. The 2nd one they got was the wrong part so I had to drive it around some more. After over 3 months, they finally got the right part, or so they said and assured me the car would be ready by mid-day today. They never called to notify anything (horrendous communication is the norm)and when I called, they said “It’ll be ready when it’s ready.” Worst experience I’ve ever had with a mechanic. If you have a job that’s even remotely complicated, go elsewhere.
Edit: Dane Motors has a big communication problem. Alan, the manager, will say that the car is being worked on, while John, the owner will say the part is not here yet. In other words, they lie.

Absolutely, fixed my tail light in a flash also comes highly recommended by many people! I'm taking my car there for the next repair, hopefully this week!

This has been the best experience I’ve ever had with car maintenance. John and Al go above and beyond to make sure your car is running the way it should. They both are exceptional at what they do and really take care of their customers. I’ve been recommending them to everyone!

Was selling someone who claimed to be the owner of the shop by the name of rio loza an RV on facebook marketplace, he said to bring it by his shop to take a look at 1:30 we came by and he was on a job and not ready to buy the RV like he said, told us to park the RV on a random street by his shop and he'd look at it later, we cant leave our RV on a random street in Portland especially when we live in Vancouver, waste of time and gas coming down to his shop for a sale just to get blown off, said he'd come by Vancouver to look at it after 5, we couldve made this arrangement instead of wasting time, he never showed up to Vancouver, mind you we had to spend $519 to winch out the RV from where it was initially parked on a friend's farm on sauvie island because it was stuck in the mud and we couldnt park it in Vancouver because Vancouver laws don't allow RVs parked on the street, extremely unprofessional, he later said he'd meet this weekend which we knew was a load of crap, do not bring your vehicle here for a repair I wouldn't trust this guy to even change a sparkplug properly let alone without probably over charging some naive person. Was definitely trying to rip us off somehow! Ive read some really horrible reviews from this shop before posting this one and a lot of people seem to have a problem with them being scandalous dirt bags, they reply to every review calling them out saying they arent scammers but they are just 100% trying to save face. There's ZERO possibility this many people are accusing this shop of scandalous behavior and they somehow arent scammers, not possible. DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE HERE!!!!!
Updated: They replied to this review saying rio isnt the owner therefore I shouldnt leave a review like this, yet you people are employing someone using your place of business to conduct a scam, I read plenty of other negative reviews before I went ahead and posted this one, and again, this IS NOT the first time employees have tried running game on people, as a business owner myself if my employees are using my place of business to conduct a scam they would be swiftly terminated from employment especially if they claimed to be the owner of the shop, I would apologize to the person leaving a negative review, not tell them not to leave the review they left, dont try and save face with me I really dont care for it!!!!! Unprofessional scandalous people that do not know how to conduct good business practices.

Al and the rest of the crew are awesome. Multiple cars serviced and repaired there. I wouldn't go anywhere else in Portland.

I would highly advise anyone not to take your vehicle to Dane motors.I had my car towed there because the starter went out and it was running just fine before that but they end up messing my car up and have now had it for several months,they offered my wife a loaner car that doesn't have any plates on it.They are very unprofessional and they are liars.DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR TO THESE PEOPLE.

The people at Dane Motors handled fixing my car no problem and went out of their way by giving me a loaner car to use. 5 stars all the way. Price was high because of the work I needed done, but fair that being said
