The place to go for all your Rover needs

by T McGee

Everyone was very friendly, informative, and prompt. They got my 02' Disco. in for its 90K service on short notice along with some unexpected added repairs and completed the job in a day so that I didn't have to go with out my truck. Their prices came in abetter than the local Rover dealer where I had been going. They also offered me a new client discount which was an added bonus. I'll be returning to Columbia Rovers in the future for my truck's maintenance and repair needs. I highly recommend them.

• Pros: Offers great rates and pricing, friendly and prompt service.

Columbia Rovers is a great place for your Land Rover Service

by humesdae

Had my Rover in for it's 120,000 miles service along with a needed service repair. It was my first try with using them. They were ready to take my car in right away and had it serviced and ready for me by the end of the same day.

Great communication during the entire process and didn't worry at all about my car not being completed correctly. Going to the actual Land Rover Dealership in Portland had become a pain when it took a while to get in and then you never had it completed the same day.

I will continue to use Columbia Rovers for my Land Rover servicing.

• Pros: Quick Service, Affordable Pricing, Great Communication,
• Cons: Location for me...but with planning it works.

Friendly, knowledgeable staff

by bud loek

My wife and I have been taking our '96 Discovery to Columbia Rovers for about two years. They have fixed the window risers, wiper motor, and replaced the radio. They have done engine diagnostics, fixed electrical and emissions problems, and even found used body parts so I could do my own repairs. Their work has always been done right, their prices are fair, and the people at Columbia Rovers are always friendly.

• Pros: Easy to get to, right off of I-405

Awsome Rover shop

by DanG

If you are a Land Rover owner and looking for a quality shop with great prices and expert knowledge shop no farther. I just purchased my first Land Rover a 2000 Disco 2. I knew I needed a shop to go over my new Disco and found Columbia Rover to be outstanding. Brent and Josh have taken extra time out of there busy day on several occasions to answer my abundance of questions. Brent even had one of the mechanics go over my Disco to let me know if there were any problems looming. And for this service they didn’t charge me a dime.

Driver's Beware... These people are crooks.

by PortlandHopes1967

I've owned a Land Rover for years. I've been to the Dealership and the competition. The only Reason I went into "Columbia" Rovers, was a free oil change coupon stuffed on my Land Rover Discovery Series II.

Despite the creepy, overly pushy sales persona the owner gave me as I brought my car in, I let them get on with the oil change.

First, without my permission, they removed my license plate frame, and slapped on their own without even a thought to ask.

Second, after it was almost over, Brent (owner) came to me to tell me that my head gaskets were leaking profusely, a job PDX Rovers had just done several months before. He also told me that because of the bad head gasket job, my engine was toast, and needed to be replaced. He was very pushy about it, and quoted me $5000 in repairs to fix it all.

After explaining that I knew PDX had done it right, he began to trash talk the competition in a way that absolutely disgusted me. Trash talking the owner, lies about shotgun work, and deceptive diagnoses....

But the truth was, I've known PDX for quite some time, through quite a few other Land Rover owners too. And know them to be among the most trust worthy folks in town. I called him out on the BS, and asked to have my car closed up and removed as quickly as possible. I was done with them.

A few weeks later, I had my Discovery looked at again, and not only found out that there was a lot more to the story behind Columbia than just shady mechanics, but shady business practices as well. DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!

Not only were my head gaskets in great shape, but my engine was perfectly fine. Not a leak, broken part, or nothing in sight. Columbia was ready to charge me FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS to do absolutely nothing to my car.

How desperate can you be?

Needless to say, I will never return to Columbia Rovers, and will steer every last Land Rover I see in Portland away from them as well. Portland is too small for a mechanic or anyone to get away with running a business like this...

• Pros: ...
• Cons: Get quoted 5 Grand for Imaginary Work

Great Shop for your Rover!

by Treadbear

Really nice guys and knowledgeable too. They have been really great at answering all of my questions as a new Land Rover owner! They are always available to help with getting used parts or new ones and fixing anything that you need. I have been to other shops and waited two weeks for a repair that never got done - not here. Thanks guys!
