Portland Auto Repair

I drive a 2002 Boxster. Leaving work one Friday evening I dropped an axle. I didn't know it at the time but I knew it was loud and my car didn't work. I was looking for new mechanic and I called Heckmann-Thiemann. Friday night, 5:20 or so and they were closing at 5:30. They agreed that I could leave it there in their lot -or so I assumed, and they would have a look on Monday. The tow truck came and we made it across town arriving about 6:30 I guess. I was shocked that they were there waiting for me! Wow. Once again, it's a 2002 Boxster, not exactly a $100K model. Their concern for my car and even how I was getting home without it was genuine and refreshing. With my car safely tucked in their shop for the weekend I was greatly relieved of that worry. At this point, though, I didn't know what was wrong and was fearing a big bill. They got to it in the next couple of days and found that the axle had, indeed, fallen off --probably because the previous mechanics had not torqued the bolts down. There was some complication due to the damage caused when falling but they handled it. My bill was completely fair and to reuse an adjective, refreshingly so. This shop is friendly, concerned for their customers, competent, and fairly priced and I will be happy to bring my car back here for future work. Beyond all that, I feel like they honored me and my car and that means something to me as I don't get that vibe very much, anymore.

Excellent service of the highest standards. Do not expect to be serviced quickly in a half measured way; you get what you pay for. They use only the highest quality products and deliver only the highest quality standards to your fine car.

Excellent integrity. Timely repairs done with the superb quality. I completely trust these guys to do what is needed to maintain my vehicle in fine working order and to preserve its value.

I took my 1998 Subaru to H&T when the engine continued to die while idling. The problem causing the stalling became quite a challenge and the entire team undertook heroic efforts to find and resolve the root cause. Over a two week period of time they spending many hours researching including reviewing online forums. They finally identified and resolved the issue. Despite the many hours invested, H&T was very fair in billling the labor to fix my Subaru. I was very pleased with their service and commitment and highly recommend them to anyone.

Heckmann & Thieman Motors is the best repair shop I have ever taken any car into. I had them tune up my car and after a couple of weeks my car seemed to be running rough. I drove my car into them and explained the situation and a mechanic was pulled off of a car he was working on and was told to check out my car and correct the problem.In no time I was back on the road and everyone was smiling. I have never left Heckmann and Thieman without a smile on my face!

Great service, highly competent and professional with a friendly, family oriented touch. Prices are right. Highly recommend. I drive a 2002 Boxster. Leaving work one Friday evening I dropped an axle.

Top notch service. I trust them with my vehicle.

I had previously taken my VW to 2 other mechanics who could not resolve an annoying engine issue. I'm so glad that I found Heckmann & Thieman! They resolved my vehicle's problem on the first try. Also, the people in the front office are friendly and knowledgeable. I'll gladly go back there and recommend it to friends.
