Always honest, polite, speedy and reasonably priced. I have been taking my family’s car to Lupe’s for over 20 years.

This is a true story... So I bought a car off of craigslist and we all know what we get when we do that... A car someone else doesn't want anymore... Anyways, I bought a 96 eagle talon esi off of this guy on craigslist. Night I got it back to Oregon the clutch started slipping, so I called the previous owner and got him to flip the bill to have someone fix it. He told me he knew this guy "Lupe" that owned a shop in Vancouver and has worked on his cars in the past. I thought, "No, problem! Not my first choice of shops but he's paying for it so why not?" Bad Move... So I hobble the car in to Vancouver (a 30 minute trip that is nobody else's fault other than my own) and proceed to Lupe's Auto Clinic. When I get there I notice that it seems very shady and dirty. I see sketchy people everywhere. Drop the car off and head home. I don't get the phone call the next day and have to constantly keep calling until FINALLY someone picks up and informs me that they replaced the clutch and everything is good to go. So I drive the car home very easily since it's a new clutch. Here's where it gets fun. Slipped the clutch while driving at a normal pace (SINCE ITS A NEW CLUTCH). Call Lupe... No answer... FOR DAYS!!!!! I call every hour or so during business hours and get nothing. I finally got through after 4 or 5 days and ask about whats happening since nothing has actually been fixed. He agrees to fix it. I have the car towed... A week later AGAIN I have to call constantly to get my car back. When I pick it up, it is sitting after hours with the key in the middle console AT DARK next to the seedy repair shop. Drive the car home. Slip the clutch on the way home... Call again and never get an answer on the phone ever again. Called for a week straight. Finally I took the car to CLUTCH DOCTORS and it ended up being a master cylinder in my clutch assembly... $140 dollar fix. Car never had issues again. UNTILLLLLL..... Car wont start. Grinds like the starter is going out or something. Back to Clutch Doctors! Apparently Lupe's Auto Clinic had forgot to install two dowel pins that hold my transmission in place and the starter wasn't lined up properly so it scored my crank on my transmission and I never got release bearings to sit properly. They always made noise after that. I'm writing this so hopefully someone else will be saved from these jokers. Thanks for your time.

If zero stars was an option I would have chosen it. Lupe lied about the parts he replaced on my vehicle even went as far as telling me what my car was doing was normal when I took it back to him four different times. Due to his lies and false replaced parts my engine is now blown in my vehicle. Be Ware, he is a con artist not a mechanic.

Lupe is by FAR the best mechanic I have met in Vancouver. His prices are the BEST. He has NEVER told me to replace something that isn't broken. He will SHOW me why something has to be replaced. I will ALWAYS go to Lupe for help!

Can't speak to Lupe, but Leonel, who has done work on our cars, gives fair pricing, shows you what is wrong, and even shows the old part so you know that it was actually replaced. Yes the shop is dirty and in a shady area, but who cares as long as the work is done right for a fair price. Highly recommend.

Dependable and Honest We've been using Lupe's for over 10 years for our cars, van & trucks. We've never had any issues and my vehicles were done fast and right the first time.

Oh sweet Jesus Lupie is probably one of the best mechanics I’ve ever met. Great prices and great integrity has my 2004 Corvette up and running better than it ever has. Thank you Lupie.

We have been taking our cars to Lupe for over 10 years. I wouldn’t trust my vehicles to anyone else! GREAT work, GREAT customer service and reasonable prices. Lupe and the guys are always welcoming and I’m so grateful for trusty mechanics. Lupe just fixed up my old car for my teenage daughter like he was fixing it up for his own daughter. He knows how much I love this car and went above and beyond to get her safe and road ready. He’s the absolute best in the business.

One of the only mechanic shops open in Vancouver on Saturday. Brought in a complex car issue and he was able to solve it within minutes. Incredibly nice and wonderful service!

Excellent service. My car was dumping oil and I just showed up on the doorstep. The people instantly helped and the owner got me right in. While there - he completed a thorough check of everything and fixed all the issues discovered! Pricing was reasonable. If you need honest repairs - I suggest this place.

I had a very disappointing experience with this auto clinic. I paid the owner thousands of dollars in cash, but he refused to provide invoices or receipts. He kept my car for months, saying he was waiting for parts. When I finally got the car back, it was in worse condition than when I brought it in. I would strongly advise others to be cautious before doing business here.
