I've waited 3 months before submitting this review to make sure things are good. My Fiesta ST would crank and not start. I spent months trying to fix it and got to the point where I was throwing parts at it, so I brought it in. Edgar immediately let me know that I had low compression and failed leak down so he gave me 2 options, rebuild or replace the motor, replacing it was cheaper so I went down that route. After the swap, it still wouldn't start. Edgar spent his own personal time trying to find the issue, even getting second opinions. He figured my ECU was dead, and after replacing it, the new one died right away. Before putting in a third, he looked more into the wiring and found I had a electrical short somewhere in the cabin that had something to do with my fuel injection. He fixed that and got it to run again. I would've never found the solution out on my own, I'm impressed he was able to figure it out. I'm overall really happy with the job done. My only bother about this was the compression readings they got. Their numbers were all about 50 psi lower than mine. I'd like to assume my compression tester is bad. I did not check leak down on my own so I trust he gave me the correct numbers there. I also didn't have any performance or fuel economy differences with the old engine compared to the new one. I am a little curious how my previous motor would have ran with the ECU fix but I'm not too bothered with that since I got a motor with half the mileage, new clutch, TOB, water pump, and timing belt done all while the motor was out. Regardless, thank you Edgar for your communication and effort put into my little pinto bean. I'm now having a blast with it with no serious issues. I'll refer friends and family to your shop, I hope your business does well and I'll be bringing in more headaches for you to figure out when I come across them.

My car was having several problems. Would shut down and had to frequently jump start it. I took it to E & B motors and the staff was magnificent the owner took the time to try to explain me in a professional manner the issues my car was having. This was about a month ago. Now that my car has been running smoothly for almost over a month with no problems I wanted to just take the time to give the E&B a big thank you for taking care of me. If you are trying to find a dependable mechanic, I highly recommend these guys.

The main guy was great! He truly cares about what he is doing. He was very concerned with my BF's car needing maintenance more regularly. He fixed her up with an oil change and did an inspection complimentary to see if the vehicle needed anything else. He was very straight forward with what should be done, and explained the pricing. We need more mechanics like this guy. Also I called a day prior to coming in, he fit me right into a slotted time frame the next day. I would give more stars if I could. Thank you!!

Edgar was absolutely amazing when I was in a serious pickle with my car! I drive a 2014 VW Passat TDI and had a very bad coolant leak. He came recommended from a friend and I am so glad I used him on my latest service. Not only did he take my car within an hour of me calling him, but he finished it literally the next day and let me borrow a car so I could still go to work. While he was working on my car, he was extremely transparent with me (even down to the prices of parts) and did a safety check on my car without my asking for free. From there, he learned my break pads and rotors were in horrible condition, sent pictures of everything, and saved me a ton of headache later on. On top of that, he did an oil change for free! Edgar was extremely communicative through the entire process and made me feel like I was a priority. He pointed out an additional bodywork (not pressing) issue I have with my car I wasn’t aware of to fix on a later date and I have found my new auto shop for all of my car needs. I was going to the car dealership when I first moved to the area, but after a negative interaction of them withholding information from me, I am so thankful to have found E & B Motors. I will be back time and time again! Thank you for everything, Edgar and Crew!

Bring your Subaru to these guys, not the dealership! The dude who runs it all worked at the Subaru dealership for like a decade it sounds like, so he can de everything they would at the dealership, just as well, but is so much easier to book and is a lot cheaper. He also explains your options and what is going on with your car very well. I found him very approachable and was comfortable asking questions about what my options were. Could not recommend a mechanic more. I wouldn't describe them as the absolute cheapest, but they are absolutely not the most expensive. The best to describe them is the least expensive mechanic that I would actually trust with my car. In short, could not recommend these guys any more!

Our Subaru broke down in Gresham near a Subaru dealership. Their quote was really high. I called Edgar and he got our car, gave me a much better quote, gave us a loaner car and got the job done fast. He was so easy to work with, seemed really honest and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the outcome. We live in Central Oregon and he even met us half way to return our car. E and B Motors gets our recommendation 100%

Was quoted $5,000+ in repairs at dealership. Received a referral to E&B Motors and after calling Edgar, brought my car in for a diagnostic. They solved the problem for less than $1,000 and, because their service was so stellar, I asked them to complete 100k mile maintenance. Edgar and team were prompt, friendly, professional, fair and all around awesome. Further, Edgar always took the time to explain what he was seeing with my car and what he would like to do to repair. When I was dropping my car off, initially, another customer - unprompted - shared how much he valued the services he received at E&B and won't take his car anywhere else.

Professional, helpful, worked with me in a complicated situation to help get my car back on the road as quickly and safely as possible. They were recommended to me by another person so I'm very happy to pass that recommendation forward! Edgar was excellent in his communication the entire time and kept me updated through the fix.

I was experiencing several issues with my Subaru Outback, but Edgar took the time to thoroughly explain the problems to me. After replacing the torque converter, my car is running smoothly again. I truly appreciate the level of service and expertise provided here. If you’re in search of knowledgeable mechanics who offer fair prices, I wholeheartedly recommend this place.

Unfortunately bad things happen. Way over charged for an engine rebuild, they didn't tighten the intake down properly and it ran lean and lost compression around 7,000 miles. Won't honor the warranty and wants to charge another $6,500 to replace it. I would steer clear on these guys if you think expect a warranty.. pictures of cylinder heads showing how lean it was. You can obviously see it.

Edgar and his shop took fantastic care of my daughter’s Jeep. There were fast, thorough and we will continue to service our vehicles with them and use them for any future needs.

Friend recommended E&B Motors to inspect my vehicle. Edgar and his crew did a great job looking at it and showing me what was going on with it. They have very fair repair costs and did a wonderful job on the repairs. I'll be taking my vehicle to them again for future repairs/work!

Did a whole V8 engine swap in a day and a half. Only shop in Oregon willing to install a used engine in my 23 year old truck. Friendly honest staff, these guys were great. What ever you might need, they'll treat you fair.

We are more than happy with our experience with this wonderful crew. Edgar was very patient, knowledgeable and kept us well informed of our car situation and did a great job for a minimum price. It runs very smoothly.

Took my WRX in for a clutch job and now it drives so smoothly, it feels like they overhauled the transmission and balanced the wheels at the same time. It’s like a new car, and at a competitive price using OEM parts. Would recommend Edgar and team for sure.

Having an issue with my son’s truck. Called them up and they told us to bring it in and take a look at it. We went there and they were so helpful. We ended up needing to get alignment and they took their time to share their knowledge with us. We will definitely be back!!!
