A joke in my experience

by dk_pdx

I went there trying to get a quote for a u-joint replacement and to check 1 brake

cylinder. instead wasted 7 minutes because the guy kept trying to find these particular

jobs in a computer. it was like he could not understand what i needed done because it was

not programmed into the database. how silly is that? a professional mechanic would simply know how long it would take, especially since it was for a bone-simple classic car.

i think the only way they are staying in business is because of the location. the quote that he finally printed was a 320$ monstrosity. Later I happened by Paul`s

Automotive and eventhough they were packed they replaced 2 u-joints for < 100$ that same day.

I think Bernard`s owner is also the mayor of Milwaukie, no wonder he does not have time

to perfect the business. In other words ``not recommended``.

• Pros: located near a bus transit center
• Cons: front people are unprofessional
