Here are just a few of our customer reviews.
Definitely recommend Multnomah Automotive for those searching for local auto care needs. They are friendly, honest, communicative, and work til they find a solution for the problem. Very happy to have them around for our ever-evolving car problems. Thank you!
They are the best!!! They could’ve charged an arm and a leg, but didn’t. They are integral, and good people. I’m a teacher, and we had a hard week at home. Mike’s genuineness, and integrity, were very timely, and appreciated. We will go to the shop again and again.
Jason was so kind and gave me great advice even though my car was at another shop. He’s honest and sincere, and knows how to get his customers back on the road.
These guys are awesome! I had a problem with a battery install, brought the car back and they replaced the battery free of charge. Great communication, helpful advice too!
Staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, work was quality and efficient. Will be returning my business here going forward!
During the last year I have taken my Dodge to Multnomah Automotive for both a major engine repair and a standard oil change. I felt respected and cared for both times and highly recommend this friendly neighborhood shop.
Best place to take your car in Portland. Always makes time for you and does a great job and is affordable. Can trust them to do what you need and never over sells or over charges.
Had my oil changed and transmission flushed. They were very helpful and up front, easy to work with, and completed services in a timely fashion. I will definitely be bringing my car back to Jason and team.
The team here is fantastic. We had car troubles and they were fast and very honest about our options. They took detailed notes and photos about nest steps on repairs for our vehicle. We had such a great experience that they are now our permanent mechanics.
My car’s tires blew out right near their shop, and they were super helpful in getting new tires in and replacing them within one day. Really helpful, and professional.
I had a really great experience here. Service was friendly and explained everything clearly and thoroughly. They also always maintained good communication throughout and the service was timely. I definitely see myself as a repeat customer.
Jason helped fix multiple issues in my Toyota for $2000 less than what the dealer wanted. Jason and his team worked quickly and communicated clearly about issues that needed to be addressed. As long as Jason is there we’ll be bringing in our cars for service.
Dude these guys are great. They’ve never overcharged in my experience, and do a thorough job. Shout out to Jason for keeping me updated with repairs.
Amazing service and great management. Jason was awesome and quickly found the issue in my tire. I was in and out in about 10 minutes and for only $20. 10/10 auto shop experience
These guys are FAST! I needed an oil change and a catalytic converter shield installed on my Prius. They were pretty busy when I came to the shop by they still turned it around in a couple hours and gave great service. Shout out to Jason and his team, keep it up!
Had my starter go out. They were able to diagnose and replace within two days despite being extremely busy. They also provided a full inspection without being pushy or trying to upsale. Good honest work. Thanks!
I love this place. The owner is straight up. This is an awesome shop. My repair was concise accurate. I trust them implicitly and it’s a drive for me AAA rated… Check them out Jason has your back.
I have been going to Multnomah Automotive for all my car repair needs. Every time I have been there, I have received stellar customer service. I could not have asked for a better Auto Repair shop. Thank You Jason!
This auto shop was great! They were so nice and helpful in everything they did. They diagnosed my problem quickly and replaced my battery very fast. Very inexpensive for the job performed and gave me quite a discount! Choose these guys they are the way to go!
Wonderful and fast costumer service. Very accommodating and friendly. They take the time to explain the issues and are flexible with your schedule and time. Extremely reliable and trustworthy service and workers!
Great shop. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, kind staff. Fixed my car and gave helpful feedback on the things to keep an eye on. I will use them again and would recommend this shop to others.
I had my brakes replaced here based on a recommendation from a coworker. They were helpful, honest, and got it done in one day!
Good, honest service. Reasonable prices. Jiffy Lube is right across the street from me, but I still make the 20 minute trip to Multnomah Automotive because of those qualities.
We had them replace the engine on our 2002 Toyota Echo. It now runs like a charm, and they gave us a three year, 30,000 mile warranty on the engine and labor. We highly recommend Multnomah Automotive!
Why Choose Our Radiator Hose Replacement Service?
Radiator hoses are crucial for maintaining the flow of coolant between the radiator and the engine. They endure harsh conditions such as high temperatures, high pressure, constant vibration, exposure to harsh chemicals. Made from synthetic rubber compounds, radiator hoses must be flexible because they connect to the engine, which vibrates and moves, and the radiator, which remains stationary in its support frame at the front of the car. There isn’t a specific radiator hose maintenance schedule. Advances in materials have extended their lifespan, but they still need to be replaced eventually.
When replacing your car’s coolant, typically recommended at 100,000 miles, it’s a good idea to have the hoses replaced as well. At Multnomah Automotive, we recommend regular inspections during oil changes or whenever there’s a sign of coolant loss to ensure your radiator hoses are in good condition, preventing sudden coolant leaks and potential breakdowns. Our expert technicians conduct thorough inspections, checking the hoses when the engine is cold to ensure they feel firm and show no signs of interior degradation, exterior cracks, or leaks at the hose ends. They also examine the hoses when the engine is warm to identify any swelling around the hose clamps or along the hose itself.
Signs That It's Time for a Radiator Hose Replacement
If there’s any doubt about the condition of your hoses, it’s best to replace them. It’s a relatively inexpensive and straightforward job, especially when you replace both the inlet and outlet hoses, as well as the heater hoses. For expert radiator hose replacement in Portland, trust Multnomah Automotive. Our experienced technicians ensure that your radiator hoses are in top condition, keeping your engine cool and your vehicle running smoothly.
Puddles of coolant under your vehicle or visible leaks around the radiator hoses are clear signs of hose deterioration.
If your vehicle consistently overheats or experiences temperature fluctuations, it could indicate a failing radiator hose.
Hoses that appear bloated or swollen are likely weakened and in need of replacement.
Visible cracks, splits, or fraying along the surface of the hoses indicate wear and potential failure.
Our loyal clientele trusts us for our reliability, efficiency, and dedication to resolving any automotive need. Choose us for a seamless blend of experience, honesty, and customer-centric care.
