Vote For TOM DWYER AUTOMOTIVE- Best Auto Repair in Portland!
The Willamette Week “Best of Portland” issue is a city icon, the Bible of the Best in our beloved city. We’ve been honored twice in it, once as “The Best Place For An Emotional Tune-Up” and once (a little more appropriately, in our opinion) as the “Best Place To Get Your Car Fixed”. In past years the winners have been chosen by the Willy Week editors but this year they’re trying something a little different. You, the readers, will get to vote for your favorites in almost 200 categories. We’re asking for your vote in just one, though… “Best Auto Repair”. We’re one of 5 finalists and would really appreciate your vote to put us over the top. If you’d like 
to help us out, go to the Best of Portland voting page and click the “Vote Now” link. We’re in the Local Business/Services section under “Best Auto Repair”. There are four other excellent shops in the running but we are selfishly asking for your vote for just us. Hurry, because voting closes June 30! (Unless you’re voting for one of those other guys; then voting closes July 15.)
Comment of the Month
“You did it. You gave an estimate for replacing front lower control arms and bushings. It was done for slightly less. Thank you!” -Jory L.
Glad to do it, Jory. When we give estimates it’s for a complete job done right. Our estimates aren’t bait-and-switch sales tools, they’re intended to give you rock-solid information you need to make rational service and budgeting decisions. We don’t give “bare bones” estimates to get you in the door and then call with additions we knew were coming all along. Of course, there are always situations in which the unanticipated happens, but when it does we call our clients immediately to ask how they want to proceed, and we NEVER do work without your direct authorization. Because we’re giving our most professional prediction of the job cost from the very beginning we very rarely have to change our initial estimates… we’re proud to say we’re on-estimate 98.77% of the time!

Latest Automotive Recalls
Automobiles are just like any other product; occasional flaws in manufacture or design can cause problems once they leave the factory. When an issue is identified the manufacturers and government work hard to bring the vehicles back in for refit or repair, but not all recalls make the front pages. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration maintains a constantly updated list of recalls from every manufacturer. The last month’s recalls are below, but clicking the button at right will take you to the full list at the NHTSA website.
