Wayne’s Garage

My husband and I just recently moved to Eugene. We drove cross country from the Chicago-​land area. One day, not long after our arrival, we noticed the car battery light on. We took it to Orielly auto and asked them to do a scan. (Keep in mind folks that these individuals working at auto parts stores are NOT mechanics.) They did and interpreted the hand held thing to read the code as a bad battery. Needless to say we bought a battery. The next day the same light went on. I was driving and remember seeing WAYNE’S GARAGE during one of our shopping excursions and drove the car straight in. «Bob», at Wayne, s said it definitely was the alternator and said they could fix it same day. Gave us a ride home, very friendly, offered us options, and even told some dumb jokes in the process. Oh, maybe that was me. But myself being in the auto parts service industry for more than 15 would definitely go back to WAYNE’s and no where else. Honest people with honest prices. Oh, the light never came back on either.

These guys are great. They do not play games and were very honest about the condition of my car. I recommend them highly.

Had to take in our vehicle twice for the same job, second time they damaged our dash and are blaming it on being the air bag and sun damage. We have an audi that is barely 7 years old. It has an indent in the dash that looks like a tool box and a puncture about a centimeter long. We didn’t have any of this before we dropped it off, and it was there when we picked it up. Damage like this would not just show up that bad that quickly. No sun damage anywhere in the car.

This place is great. I’m from out of town, and have been taken advantage of in the past when getting my car fixed because they think I’m just going to dip out if town and I won’t do anything about what they charge.
My 09′ jetta tdi had a broken CV joint. I got it diagnosed at another place and they quoted me $ 481. I called to another shop in town, and they quoted me at $ 560!
Then I call Wayne’s garage, they told me with everything all together it should be around $ 310. So I set th appointment.
Even with me being 4 hours late to my appointment, they still got it all taken care of and finished that same day. Not to mention, they brought my grand total under the estimate to $ 289.
This place is way rad, luckily for them, I have a couple other thing I’m going to need done before I leave town, and they for sure have my business.

Greatest customer service and shop in town. Took my 04 Nissan xterra in with a broken timing belt (broke while driving) they replaced the belt and it fired right up. This is something that could have cost thousands of dollars if I had engine damage. They were straight forward with me and very informative. The final bill was well under what I had anticipated even with no engine damage. I would and will recommend these great people and shop to anyone. Best shop experience I’ve ever had in my 35 years.

I first came to Wayne’s last year. I drove my truck cross-​country and had the «check engine» light checked at several different garages along the way but none could really fix the problem. Wayne’s did what other places couldn’t. Huge relief!
Today I went back to get an oil change and while it’s not the cheapest around ($ 65), they’ll do everything — check fluids and tire pressure and even rotating the tires (if asked) and washing/​vacuuming. They noticed one of my fluids was low and let me know and I can keep an eye on it to see if it’s an indication of a problem or just a fluke.
Very happy with the service.

I absolutely love this place, they take great care of my two cars, even when they are being the usual mechanic shy, act up for me, but never for the mechanic.

Brought the car in for some maintenance after it started making some funny noises. Their mechanics diagnosed the problem as a faulty harmonic balancer and also made a list of other unrelated issues they found with the car. They provided their opinions on what they would suggest fixing now and what could be put off till later but didn’t pressure us at all.
The people at Wayne’s were very helpful, friendly and courteous, facilities are clean and overall, I was pleased with their services. They have a courtesy shuttle should you need a ride to/​from work while they work on your car although we didn’t take advantage of this service so I can’t say anything about how often it runs or if there’s a specific radius it operates within.
If Wayne’s ever decides to open (even for a few hours) on the weekends, this would be a 5-​star place for sure!
