British Auto Works

I cannot and will not ever recommend them to anyone for any type of work. I brought my MGB in there a few years ago to install a new solenoid for my overdrive transmission. When I got it back the plate was leaking. When I drove the car home I tested the overdrive and the switch started smoking. They had improperly installed it and had fried the solenoid AND my switch. I drove it right back and they said I had done something to cause this. REALLY? You have got to be kidding me! I had the car for 5 minutes and I FRIED IT? They would not make it right and told me I’d have to pay for the same repair again. No thanks. I’ll take it somewhere else. Frustrated, I left and on my way out the mechanic smiled at me and said, you know, you shouldn’t be working on cars. You screw things up and gave me a grin. Stay away. Bad work and when they do it wrong it is always your fault.

Best prices around! If you own a Bristish car, like I do then you need a mechanic you can trust and who charges you a fair amount. I have had an MG Midget for 17 years now and since I was a teenager I have only taken my car here. They have helped me fully restore my vehicle and keep it healthy. There is another Bristish car mechanic shop in Portland which charges insanely high prices and they are rude to top it off! This is a family owned business — I originally took my car to the original owner of the shop and now I see his son and his son working on my car — three generations!
