I purchased a "vintage" Dodge & you could say it came with a mechanic, the one who had maintained the car for years. The previously owner highly recommended Stan's Fords & I am so glad I followed his recommendation! Stan & his team do a thorough job with each big or small repair & checkup. They price each job reasonably & honor their estimates, & keep to their schedules (although they've usually completed repairs for me well ahead of estimated time). I place a lot of trust in Stan's team to keep my vintage car running safely & am always happy to recommend them any time.

Stan and his crew are great. Honest, experts, and they offer great prices, better than many other mechanics in the area. Stan replaced my radiator, hoses, and radiator cap. Stan and his crew quoted me a very reasonable price, and completed the job in 2 1/2 hours. I am so glad I took the advice of other customers of Stan and read the multiple 5 star reviews. Its such a blessing to find honest fair mechanics who do the job correctly, and for a very fair price. I will be a return customer and have already shared my great experience with my friends and family. Thank you Stan and crew. I am truly grateful. Mary K.

Was great at communicating and letting me know what was going on with my vehicle. He was honest and never tried to upcharge me. Did only what was needed and was the first time I ever walked away feeling helped and not screwed. Will go back.

Stan is the most honest mechanic I’ve ever come across. I’ve had countless negative experiences with dealership service departments. Every time, I feel like I’ve either been overcharged or had service e recommended that I didn’t need. You can feel the push for profit and up charging. Not the case with Stan. I have 100% confidence that he’s repairing my cars in the same way he would repair his own. He often comes in at half of what the dealership quotes. Whenever I’ve needed to have service somewhere else for time constraints or emergencies, I’ve regretted it. I needed brakes for my Ram last week and called Schwab so I could get in the same day (Stan usually has booked schedule of repeat customers). Their price for pads alone was astronomical. So, I called Stan and he squeezed me in the next morning. I ended up getting new pads, new rotors and a brake fluid flush for $200 less than Schwab wanted for the pads alone. Stop going anywhere else. Stan had been “my car guy” for 20 years and he should be your car guy too.

My SUV was making a noise so I looked around for a mechanic and someone recommended Stan's Fords and More. Being new to the area, coming from the East Coast it's a little hard to trust but Stan made it easy. I walked into his shop and he was welcoming, friendly and just all around pleasant person. Stan took a look at my car and imediately access the problem in 2 minutes. He didn't give me the run around. Stan told me to cost and when I would be able to get my car back and he stuck to the orginal cost and I was able to pickup my car when he said I could. I live in the Reedville area and it wonderful to know that there's a Mechanic like Stan near by to take care of my car. Stan is the Man!

My hubby and I can't say enough good things about Stan. We got a rip off quote from a dealership for $3,588 worth of work on a part that wasn't even bad. After taking our car to Stan for a second opinion, he properly diagnosed the problem as completely different than what the dealership said was wrong and only $700 for parts and service! $700 vs. $3,588... OMG! And the dealership said they spent hours trying to find the problem!?!? I'm happy to report that this car Stan fixed is still running great! I say "this car" because we have since taken our other cars to him and don't plan to go anywhere else. Because this is Stan's business, and people love his work and his prices, he is busy and you might not get an immediate response right after you drop your car off. So if you want to take care of your car similar to a fast banking and fast food situation, go somewhere else, but you'll get the service that matches. But if you want your car properly diagnosed and priced for repair, there's no one better than Stan!

You will not find a more honest, and competent mechanic than Stan! Stan has always been an advocate for us, and he only fixes what truly needs to be fixed. He also stands behind his work! My sister and I own an older car that has a lot of issues. But, Stan has never insisted we do more than what is needed. We keep telling everyone we know, Stan's Fords and More is one of the best car shops around. Thanks for your continued expertise, and taking care of us and our car!!!

This was my first time using Stan's and I must say I am a very satisfied 1st time customer and will be returning with my other vehicle. Stan is very honest, straight forward and provided me with great service with very honest pricing for service he provided. I shopped around and received quotes from other shops and Stan gave me more bang for my buck. He gave me exactly what was needed for my vehicle nothing more nothing less, and went above and beyond with fantastic customer service calling with updates until the job was completed. Do yourself a favor. If you need to have something donev o your vehicle give Stan a call you will not be disappointed.

I drive Mustang Gt's and I recently found one for fixing up. I found out it needed a timing chain coolant leak repair, and all the shops around town quoted me a $1000.00 for the fix. I was at Fred Meyer, and happened to see Stan's shop from across the parking lot. I stopped in, and Stan came outside to my car, and immediately found the site of the leak. Stan immediately told me what parts were involved in the fix, and gave me a far cheaper quote, and scheduled me for the repair. Stan called me and kept me updated while my car was at his shop. When I got my car back, I looked at the finished repair, and it looked amazing. I feel that Stan is a very honest man, and a very professional business man. He "didn't bait, and switch" me with a more expensive price after the repair was finished...which I have experienced more than once at other shops. Stan is what I would call, "honest, fair, and keeps his word." I have now found my "permanent" mechanic. Thanks again, Stan!!!

Stan is a mechanic that realizes the harsh reality of finding the right person to fix your car. Stan looks out for his clients. He and his staff are reliable, and trustworthy Stan gets the best deals on parts, as well as Lifetime guarantees. Finding an honest, and exceptional mechanic can be a daunting task. However, look no further, Stan’s Fords and More is exactly what every car owner in Washington County deserves. Stan’s the Best!

Came in to have my 2017 GMC Canyon repaired. The dealer quoted me $1300 for the repair. Stan's was able to repair the broken part, and it only cost me $175 total to get my car back on the road. Honest, fairly priced, excellent work. You can't ask for more.

I had a tricky electrical problem that was causing my battery to go dead overnight. Stans team stuck with this problem and tracked it down to a sensor in a spot extremely hard to find. Its a 2013 F150 so its not a spring chicken. While looking for the problem they also fixed my electrically operated seat controls that have not worked for 3 or 4 years. Why I bring that up is that their price for fixing the original problem and the seat was less than a Ford dealerships estimate to just look at the seat 3 or 4 years ago. I have been using Stans exclusively since the first time I used them 3 or 4 years ago, and I find it such a pleasure to deal with people that are honest, and knowledgeable. They are a great small business to deal with. Thanks Stan!!

Stans is a great shop, I would recommend anyone that needed high quality, affordable repairs go to his shop. My truck needed a few minor things at first, he quickly diagnosed and let me know what needed adjustments and what needed to be replaced. I went back a second time for some more work, I like Stan because he’s honest and fair, I was capable of doing some of the brake work on my own and he had no problem picking up where I left off. When I needed a one off part, Ford wanted 1100 for it and he was able to track down a lightly used one for 280! Overall Stans shop is awesome and now my truck has a trustworthy place to get fixed when it’s beyond my abilities. Thanks Stan!

Stan is always very respectful, timely, and is very good about making sure his customers understand the repairs or services being performed. It might be my imagination, but I swear my car drives a bit happier after going there. I also appreciated that Stan had quarantine precautions in place to make sure his customers and staff during the pandemic. I could drop my car off the night before the appointment, they frequently cleaned the office area, masks were required, hand sanitizer was provided, etc. I had my power steering pump replaced with Stan’s Fords and More back in March of this year. I was going out of town for a week so left my car at his shop and Stan was excellent about sending me updates about the repairs, was very upfront about costs, and was understanding about my budget concerns. He also made sure I understood to the warranty on the service/part. Then recently I needed to fix a broken handle on one the doors and I went to a shop walking distance from my place, but was confused when they came back with a massive diagnostic of everything wrong with my car, one of which was the power steering. The diagnostic listing everything from small scratches and dings to the size of my break pads to the issue with the door handle. I also felt pressured to pay them to fix everything on the diagnostic that day as soon as possible. However, Stan had made sure I understood the warranty back in March, I knew I could go back to Stan to have it looked at for no cost. So I just had the other shop was able to fix the handle over the course of a week (a part needed to be ordered or something IDK) and Stan stood by his work. He also made sure I understood that if anything needed to be fixed it was covered under warranty (apparently the hose was just a little dirty and no leaks were spotted at this time). He was also helpful in providing a second opinion on the other things in the diagnostic and able to put my mind at ease that my car wasn’t going to fall apart anytime soon. I sincerely appreciate that he goes the extra mile to make sure he has informed customers!

Stan and his employees are so wonderful. I've already taken my car to Stan twice, my boyfriend's car once, and my sister's car once, and I only moved here two months ago. Stan is kind, honest, reliable, and really knows his stuff. There is no one else I will bring my car to, and he is the only person I recommend. Additionally, I believe he filled up my gas tank! Everyone should take their cars here, truly!

Bottom-line : Go to Stan, you'll not regret it. Once, I had my car towed 100miles just to get it to Stan's shop. I have been a customer of Stan's for 12yrs now. I have 100% confidence that whatever work Stan recommends it is always with the best interests of the customer in mind. And there's nothing more I hate about owner a car than getting ripped-off at the dealer service shop. I've owned my Ford Explorer for about 18yrs, and that's because I know and trust Stan. When he retires, so does my Ford. Back in 2009, we had just moved to PDX and my wife took our 2002 Ford Explorer to Stan's based on pure luck. We needed the seat adjustment motor fixed. When we showed-up, Stan handed her a nickel and explained it had jammed the seat adjustment tracks. So, rather than a $300 repair, we got a truthful explanation and a nickel back. Another time, I could have sworn my brakes needed replacing, and he walked me out to the lift, showed me the pads, and the rotors, and explained that all was well. There was another unrelated issue making the noise that was easily fixed for $5. Any other shop would have taken me for a ride and replaced those brakes, racking-up a big charge. There are similar other instances where Stan explained why my car didn't need the work I thought it did, saving me $$$. And, Stan has gone out of his way to find alternative sources for parts so that I can choose factory OEM or less expensive alternatives. And, with 40yrs in the business, Stan provides his opinion on when it makes sense to go cheap vs OEM.
