Harold Dick was unique in the world of auto repair. You probably haven’t heard of him unless you were in the “inside circle” of people he accepted as clients, but Harold was an automotive perfectionist. Much like the “Soup Nazi” of Seinfeld fame, Harold was so enraptured with automobiles that he would only accept you as a client if you showed the proper respect for your complex machine, and gave it the obsessive care he thought it deserved. Harold didn’t advertise; he didn’t even have a listed phone number for his business. But for 40 years he gave his clients the best in automotive pampering. Here are links to three stories that give you a glimpse into the life of this Portland original.
