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.
