Honest hand's is a great mobile survice place when no one else I could find to do my breaks on a Sunday an no joke it was raining, An honesthand's came thru for me. I also had a few other things that needed doing an they did that too for a very reasonable price. Hands down HonestHandsLLC.org is one the best mobile macanics you can call.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. This mechanic is not honest. He gladly took $270 from me to “repair” my car window, only for it to break immediately (twice) and he refused to fix the window or give me a refund.

Honestly I would have gave him a 5 stars because I trusted he did a good job. Until I went to a mechanic because my car was acting weird. The fuel pump he installed for me he installed incorrectly. There was 0 fuel pressure. When it started up the mechanic said I was only getting like 20 psi. Everytime I would get below half a tank my car would stall out. I didn’t know what to think. :) he lied and said he changed the fuel filter as well which I found out he did not.

James is a great mechanic, goes above and beyond what is asked. I've been using his services on a couple cars for over a year, never been disappointed. Definitely recommend him for any mechanical problems.

Helped with a stuck starter and empty cooling system. James stuck around until it the job was done and he was very thorough and had the most reasonable pricing I've ever gotten. Honestly felt like a buddy coming over to help me fix my car. Will definitely call him first for anything.

My son has been driving his 2005 Jeep wrangler since 2005. It has seen it's share of mechanics. James is by far the best we've had. He is honest and diligent. He did the work requested and then went over and above because he found other problems and couldn't just ignore them. We will be return customers.

SCAMMER— DO NOT TRUST THIS MECHANIC. I made a appointment with James to service my car’s timing belt . He said he could arrive around noon or sooner. I sent him $210 down for parts. He never showed up to my appointment. He never called me or texted to say he was late or needed to reschedule. He never communicating when he was coming. I had to call and text him multiple time before I got a response to which he said he was on another project and didn’t know when he would be done. I canceled my appointment but never got my money returned.

Honest Hands LLC absolutely saved my life! Jeep cherokee died in a parking lot, wouldn't take a jump. Left it there for days waiting for a different mechanic from another shop only to get bailed on; I called, James answered the phone and was at my car to diagnose it in 20 minutes flat. Had my car running within mere hours on short notice, and did it all in the pouring rain and the dark at that. I couldn't be more grateful for such an honest mechanic. Thorough, dedicated, transparent, and went above and beyond to make sure i got home safely. I cannot recommend this service enough and will gladly bring all of my business to them in the future. Great mechanic for first time drivers too; very educational and transparent, no-frills no games approach.

I dont write reviews. This is honestly the first one ive ever done. But when you receive service like this it should be shared. James is absolutely amazing. An extremely knowledgeable mechanic, winning personality and an overall cool dude. My car had not been running for a while and i had no idea what was wrong with her. I was going to go to a shop but was scared of all the horror stories you know. After doing some searching i came across honest hands and decided to give him a shot and boy, i am soo glad that i did. James came out the same day i contacted him and had my car back up and running better than ever before in about 30 mins. I almost hugged him! He also came out on a different occasion to perform a tune up and change my brakes in the rain! He is a very hard worker and very reasonably priced. He also will work with you if need be. I would personally recommend him to any and everybody who needs any auto work done. I will only be calling honest hand llc from now on.

I will definitely call on James again. He was able to help us the same day I called. He worked in a methodical, professional manner and was able to diagnose and fix our electrical issue that same day. James had to run out for parts and was able to find them and return to finish the job even though it was getting late in the evening. Personable and trustworthy, your day will be better after meeting James.

Hands down the best mechanic in Portland I’ve came across! My poor impala SS stopped running around my birthday & I couldn’t figure out why. ( had previously took it to another mechanic & had some tire work done, thought maybe they could’ve messed with the car) Got on google & honest hands was one of the first business recommended to me. Other companies wouldn’t even come work on my car because the issue was electrical & there had been previous work done. But I read his previous reviews & they were great, so I figured I’d give it a try, not like my car was going anywhere. If he said no oh well. I called up James & explained the issue he was out the same day in less than a few hours to diagnose the car at a very cheap price. Explained everything that was going on with the car & answered any questions I had about the work he was doing. It’s been very cold this week & James had to work around my work schedule but, it took him less than a couple hours of work total to get my car back running !! With a total of 3 days spread out in this cold rainy weather, at night might I add. Due to my car sitting since the beginning of January it had also gotten a flat which he fixed as well, all this work done at a third of the price other mechanics would charge. My car would’ve ended up in the junk yard somewhere due to a simple electrical fix. Honestly never going to anybody else ! If your car is DOA James is the man to call.

Could not appreciate this mechanic more! I never know when I’m going to get a day off, which makes it nerve-wracking when your car starts exhibiting the check engine light. James was able to fit me in the very day I called, while every other shop I researched was booked out for weeks. He’s very approachable & easily explains what he’s fixing & why, while he works, which is a very nice experience if you’re unfamiliar with cars. After some replaced coils & an O2 sensor, my vehicle sounds so much smoother. He gave me an extremely fair price for the work done, & has been very considerate in checking in after the fact to make sure I’m still satisfied with my car’s operation.

James saved the day! It was my first time visiting Portland and my rental car got a flat on Saturday evening. I freaked out when I realized no shops were open on weekends (I’m from Brooklyn where shops are usually open til late on weekends). Anyways, we found Honest Hands and James picked up right away. He came and helped us get back on the road. He also helped us out the next day to put some air back in the tire so I can return the car. I was flying out that Sunday and also had to check out of my Airbnb so I appreciated this, would’ve been an extra stressful last day to a great trip if he didn’t come to our aid. Truly thankful he exists or else my last two days (with the best weather, at that) of the awesome trip would’ve really kind of sucked. You rock!!

I was referred to James by a co-worker of mines because my Dodge Charger needed a new transmission and engine repair. He allowed me to make payments because the work needed cost me about 6,000 dollars. To make a long story short, I got my Charger back on June 16,2025 and was pleased with the work until I drove it out of town and the car broke down on me in Utah on July 4,2025. Per new mechanics in Utah, the car needs an engine. I told them the engine was recently repaired, but with certainty they were sure that was far from the truth. I contacted James constantly with calls and text. NO RESPONSE!! I was stuck in Utah for about a week with my children. If you're reading this James this is your chance to contact me to have a conversation before I pursue any further action.
