JD Autosports

I love this place! They are very friendly and reliable. They charge fair prices and I recommend them to people and I trust that they are not out just for the money. I understand that as a smaller ship, they can get busy but I would rather wait a few days and save money and have my car back fixed and reliable than take it elsewhere or to a chain shop, get it back the next day and end up having to spend more later or more right on the spot. Plus, the location is very convenient as it is right across from the Winco/​Kohls shopping center off Cornelius Pass.

I had a highly dissatisfying experience. I brought an ’01 Allroad that had overheated in for repair and this is where the dissatisfaction started: The vehicle sat for two and a half days plus an entire weekend before they did anything with it.
They identified the problem as «O rings & a hose» $ 900 to fix and a suggested fix around an Aux. fan which was not working when I brought it in and doesn’t need to run the vehicle as many have modded Allroads to use a front mounted IC thus removing said fan. They ought to know this as a shop that does performance mods and perhaps they do and tried to soak me for an additional repair.
They claimed they repaired those things; however, the morning after I got the vehicle back the coolant was low and I called them. They said it was a «bubble in the system» and suggested I replace some of coolant and see how it went. I did that and a day later the coolant was still low. I personally observed coolant leaking from the same area of the vehicle they claimed to have fixed.
I called them again that same day (Wed) and they said they could not look at it until the following Monday. They looked at it on a Monday, called back to say they observed a leak (huh, I did too!). They thought it was another hose that was missed in in the initial repair or an O ring that wasn’t done correctly; and they couldn’t address the repair for another week. They again suggested the unnecessary Aux. fan.
At this point of the process I still didn’t have a clear picture of cost and they’ve already got $ 900 of my money. I had no confidence they would take care of it for another $ 1000 or in a timely manner.
This was a pretty negative experience from start (just not working on the car for 2.5 days while it sat in their shop?) to the end; putting me off on bringing it back and then not actually diagnosing the source of the leak.
Why charge someone $ 900 and not fix the problem? The answer lies in the lack of professionalism, lack of root cause analysis and competence.

I used to be a fan. This last trip in they just left me hanging. I took my gti337 in for a boost leak causing a limp mode condition and a coil pack replacement. The did the work but when I picked it up it immediately presented the same problem. Obviously never did a test drive to verify the repair. Left it again and they found a hidden failure in turbo hose. They admitted to using something «lying around» the shop to replace. They put two clamps on each end. These hose has either pulled off or failed in some way again. I asked about ordering a quality silicone hose. They said they had a MKII GTI in the shop and would check the hose measurement for ordering. 2 weeks later I call and they had done nothing. It’s obvious they don’t want to work on the car. They weren’t cheap… $ 1000 for the work… and my problem still exists.

Extremely knowledgeable with all things Audi as well as BMW. Decent prices and fast turn around on work. Was extremely satisfied with the work they did on a couple of my all roads and an a6 2.7t.

Took my 2001 3 series BMW to them for a couple repairs. They were very honest about the issues they found and were ¹⁄₃ of the cost of the local BMW dealership! Work was top notch quality, and it was accomplished in one day as promised!
I’d recommend them for any European car, and will definitely be using them in the future!

My Audi was having issues. I had heard good things about this shop as it was, so I swung in to see if they can check out my check engine light. One of the owners came right out, checked it, and told me what was poor little audis problem was. I made the appt to get fixed and wah lah!
My thing is I don’t trust usually mechanics or doctors. Because they could totally screw you over if they wanted to. Life or death situations are putty in their hands. I hate not having control.
But these guys were so honest and straight forward. They put off a great vibe and you can tell that they know what they are talking about. He even dealt very nicely and patiently with my millions of questions and worries… And my control freak ways when it come to my little Audi cakes. (My husband doesn’t like to be around when it comes to car issues because I’m so annoying. He would strap me down in the trunk and put a sock in my mouth if he could)…poor him.
Anyways, he quoted me a price, it stayed at that price, the job got done beautifully and everyone was happy. :)
This is our shop now.

We’ve been taking our two VW’s here for quite a few years. As everyone else has said, they are honest, reliable, and reasonable. Previous European repair shops have frustrated us with expensive and sometimes un-​asked-​for repairs. Not this place! They know our finances are not bottomless, and they always let us know when something is necessary or if we can wait. They’re prompt and do what they say. Thank you, JD Autosports!

Best BMW/​Audi/​VW repair shop in the Portland metro. They are reasonably priced, knowledgeable, honest, and very helpful. They helped me save a lot of $$ with my BMW cooling system repair.

I wholeheartedly agree with the review left by DM. JD Autosports is an honest and reputable place to do business. I recently turned to JD Autosports for a pre-​purchase inspection on an Audi A3 – they accurately described the condition of the car and addressed all minor issues appropriately and expeditiously. Deal with confidence!

While not a fancy shop, this is an HONEST shop. This is more important to me than anything else!
Their labor rates are below other local independent European Repair facilities, but their skills are above.
They have fixed many issues with my various VW and Audis, and saved me money while doing it.
Finding them is a bit tricky. Once off Cornelius Pass take the first right. go all the way back to the fence, then turn left. They are the 2^nd to last business on the left. (or you can look for all the European customer cars)
