OUR STORY
Built on Trust, Driven by Community
Exhaust Auto is an independent NE Portland shop built on honest auto repair. Owner Mike Chen left a dealership career because he believed car owners deserved better — transparent pricing, plain-English explanations, and repairs done right the first time.
Today, our team of experienced technicians services everything from daily commuters to weekend project cars. We're the shop your neighbor recommended — and we plan to keep it that way.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY
Trusted by Our Neighbors
“My check engine light came on during a road trip. They got me in same-day, diagnosed the issue quickly, and had me back on the road by afternoon. Lifesavers.”
Sarah T.Honda Civic owner
“After the dealer quoted a big repair, I brought it here for a second opinion. Turned out I only needed a much smaller repair. They could have easily taken advantage.”
James K.BMW 3 Series owner
“Clean waiting room, fair prices, and they actually finish when they say they will. I recommend them to everyone in the neighborhood.”
Linda M.Ford Explorer owner
“They texted me photos of what they found under my car. I could see the worn parts myself. That kind of transparency is why I'll never go anywhere else.”

FAQ
Common Questions
Got questions? We've got straight answers — no mechanic jargon.
Do you work on all makes and models?
Yes — our technicians service all domestic and import vehicles, from daily drivers to luxury cars. We have the diagnostic equipment and expertise for Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, and everything in between.
Do I need an appointment?
We accept both! Appointments guarantee a time slot, but we welcome walk-ins and will get you in as quickly as possible. For oil changes and inspections, no appointment is usually needed.
How long will my repair take?
Most routine services (oil changes, brake pads, diagnostics) are completed same-day. Larger repairs typically take 1-2 days. We'll give you a clear timeline with your estimate and text you updates.
How do I know if I really need the repair?
We believe in full transparency. We'll show you exactly what we found — often with photos from under your vehicle. We explain what's urgent, what can wait, and what's just something to keep an eye on. No pressure, ever.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), debit cards, cash, and personal checks. We want to make payment as easy as possible.
Do you provide written estimates?
Absolutely. You'll receive a detailed written estimate before any work begins. If we discover additional issues during the repair, we call for your approval before proceeding. No surprises on your bill.
