503 Motoring

Had my windows tinted here recently. They did an impeccable job and it came out great. The work is top notch and you will get quality here. Not only that but because they needed my car for several hours they even dropped me off at my house and picked me up when my car was done. Talk about great customer service. Highly recommend and I will definitely do business with them again.

503 Motoring is the place to go for Xpel paint protection film. I couldn’t be happier with the ‘full burial’ treatment on my MKVII GTI. The installation was flawless and they have stood behind their work, performing some minor touch-​ups under warranty about a year after installation. The team is very professional, knowledgeable, and demonstrates extreme attention to detail. As others have mentioned, there is a reason exotic car owners go here. What’s more impressive is that they treat non-​exotic cars the same way, and do so at a competitive price.

Exceptional across the board. Iain was the main guy I worked with. Portland isn’t really a «car town» so if you’re a car guy then you should definitely come here. When I picked up my car they were working on 2 Lamborghinis and a Ferrari in the garage so clearly they are a trusted and proven resource. If you want to make some mods to your car then this is the place to go in Portland. Even if you don’t have any specific mods in mind you should drop by for a general consultation and you’ll probably get some good ideas. Highly recommended.

First class operation, from my initial phone call to the quick and professional service. Couldn’t recommend anyone higher!

I recently had a full xpel wrap done on my car and all the windows tinted. The results were excellent! The guys at 503 are very detailed and the customer service was great. These guys even looked at and were willing to install a specific window tint that I was interested in even though it was through a supplier that they didnt normally work with. I can’t say enough good things about 503 and will be bringing all my future cars to them for my tinting and xpel needs.

503 did a great job helping to make my new car drivable by installing a new brand of hand controls. The attention to detail and customizing them for me was spot on. Hoping to get back for more custom work. If your looking for custom finishing on your car give them a call.

I was inquiring about having my rear windshield tinted after getting a crappy job done on my front windows at a different company. I had communicated with Dan via email and phone a few times leading up to my appointment because I requested a certain tint percentage. The first thing i noticed when pulling up was Aston Martin parked out front (out belonged to Marrell Webster, ex-​Blazer). There were also multiple Mercedes AMG-​series vehicles. Seeing all of this made me feel better about choosing to come to these guys.
When I went inside for my appointment, Dan was awesome. He gave me a brief tour, explained their other services, and showed me some completed services on a client’s BRZ that was parked out front (the paint protection). I was recommended here by a friend who had his windows tinted here, and they did a great job on my car too. They were even able to do the tiny, triangular quarter-​windows of my car (the other company I used first said that they couldn’t do them due to the difficulty of reaching them). They only charged a tiny amount for these windows, too. I didn’t meet the person who did the tinting, but he did an awesome job. I will eventually be returning here to get the paint protection on my front bumper & hood.

When I first bought my car in ’09, a friend told me not to get the clear mask from the dealership, but to go to 503, and no one else for any additions regarding my car. Sure enough, I went there 2 weeks after I got the car, and Tim, the owner, welcomed me very professionally. Ever since that day, 503 has been my only go to place for any aesthetics regarding the car. I decided to put tint a few months later, and sure enough their service exceeded my expectations.
I have contacted Tim a few times regarding exhaust systems, and he spent a good chunk of time with me on deciding which one to choose. Him and I sat down and watched YouTube videos, and with his sense of expertise, he helped me pick the right one. I didn’t think twice after I got his advice, and sure enough, the sound was PERFECT, everybody who’s heard it loved it.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer of the system had an exclusive deal with another shop for Oregon customers, and wouldn’t ship it to anyone else. But Tim still recommended the one he felt best fit the car. So, I ordered the exhaust (per Tim’s advice), and had it mounted, but the tips were not symmetrical, went back to said shop, and they over adjusted it which still left them asymmetrical a little tiny bit (a big no-​no in 503 Motoring’s eyes). It wasn’t too bad, but you want to make sure that when you spend money to improve your car, you really are improving with all levels. It’s clear that my expectations were set by 503 Motoring’s attention to detail, and that the other shop did not have the same standard as the 503 Motoring team.
On another note, Tim has shared my pain when I had small incidences with my car, and has always given me great advice. I always felt that Tim viewed me as a friend, not just a customer. I’ve come to his shop various times just to have a conversation with him about the car even when it was out of a business interaction.
Tim has also personally helped me the Vag-​Com codes since I didn’t have the cable, and made the effort to meet me and improve some of the commands of the coding. Even when the dealership reset all the commands, I came by and Tim happily did that for me.
When I decided to sell my car, I contacted Tim, and he invited me to the shop to have a little discussion on what I should do, and to what extent I should touch up the paint, and get rid of the small scratches depending on the offer I had in hand. His professional opinion helped me sell the car. I sold it a couple days ago. I loved the 503 Motoring brand, that I personally asked Tim for their license plate holders to put on my car: D.

I bought a brand new Tacoma and wanted the full clear bra (bumper, hood, mirrors, door edges). They did an excellent job with it. A week later, it started to peel in one spot so I returned to have them fix it. Without hesitation, they fit me right in and made the repair. I am very happy with the service that I have received and am considering a window tint!

I just had XPEL Ultimate applied to 2 cars by the 503 team. They took the care and effort to do a superior job. Each team member did an excellent job making sure to satisfy me at every step of the process. They even went so far as to drive me home and pick me up when each car was done.
They paid attention to all the fine details and made sure I was happy with their work. I can honestly say that the experience for both my cars was fantastic. I can recommend them unequivocally for XPEL installations.
Thanks 503 for your dedication and skill, and for going the full way to make me happy. You have earned my business for years to come!

Brought my CTS-​V there for tint and they totally botched it the first time. Creases, dust, bubbles, and a hair. They did it a second time not charge. No charge? For your mistake? 2^nd go round they bragged about having to redo the entire car. Contrats for only having dust and pieces of tint from the first job you managed to miss scraping off. I lived with it that way for a couple of months then had a different shop do it right. I did complain after the 2^nd time and they offered to do it again. That was not going to happen.
*****Update*****
The owner has now contacted me and offered me a full refund plus a $ 100 if I bring in the receipt. The car was sold two years ago and I no longer have it but I do have the original emails from his employee and all the problems with the tint both times. This felt more like a payoff to remove a bad review versus an honest gesture. I let them know the 2^nd job was garbage and they offered nothing. But post about it online and they try and buy you off. Even more reason to stay away.

I have had 503 Motoring install clear masks (two 3M and one X-​Pel) on three vehicles over the last several years. They have always done an excellent job, and their warranty cannot be beat (en)! They are not cheap, but quality never is. They provide good value for the money and they are generally less expensive that the auto dealers. I have recommended them to several friends and family members, and I recommend them to anyone interested in protecting his/​her car with a clear mask.

Got a brand new sports car (Scion FR-​S) and felt that it could really use the plastic protectant added to the hood, bumpers, mirrors, etc. They mentioned that we could add window tinting too. Good idea! By the time we received the car and scheduled the appointment they weren’t offering the window tinting due to ‘quality issues.’ They stated that we could come back a week later and have the same price as offered originally. Since we had to return the car for the window tinting they included the warranty for free. How cool is that? They made sure quality was achievable before scheduling us and considered that we had to return too.
Their quality is outstanding.
