What clients say about Doc’s Auto Repair in Seaside (OR)
-
I can’t say enough good things about Doc’s Auto Repair. My son was on a road trip when his car broke down after hours in Seaside. We had it towed to Doc’s, and even though it was already a stressful situation, they made the entire process so much easier for us. Over the next couple of days, Doc took the time to inspect the car thoroughly and kept me informed through phone calls, clearly explaining the damage and what it would take to repair it. I really appreciated the honesty and transparency. After I decided the car wasn’t worth fixing, Doc went above and beyond by helping me figure out an inexpensive way to get rid of it. Even more impressive, he didn’t charge me anything for his time and effort. It’s rare to find that level of integrity and kindness these days. If you’re ever in need of an honest, reliable auto shop, I highly recommend Doc’s Auto Repair.

Been here a handful of times. Always honest, informative, and fairly priced. There's been a couple times I've had issues crop up right before important travel plans and they have gotten me in and out and back on the road. Pretty much everything you'd want out of your mechanic.

Our family including 2 dogs were en route to Washington and had a failing alternator that reared its ugly head in Seaside. I was so grateful Doc came to the rescue and got us back on the road that day. Solid folk doing solid business??

Doc's is easily the worst auto mechanic I've ever used. They failed to perform recommended service, while performing service that wasn't recommended. The illegally charged $50 to pay with a credit card. They did not provide a report showing what they'd inspected, saying they would call me the next day, but never called me nor provided the report. Despite making an appointment a week beforehand, they were completely unprepared for my arrival. Both the shop and office are filthy and seemingly disorganized. I would never let Doc's touch any of my vehicles ever again. EDIT: Google doesn't permit me to respond to Doc's response, so I'm doing so via this edit. In his response, Doc's admits their processor charges them 4% (well above what I paid for card processing in businesses I owned or managed), which is less than the 5% he charges customers -- one reason his charges are illegal. He also admits he relies on a notice in a messy office, which isn't sufficient notification -- another reason his charges are illegal. And despite charging DOUBLE the labor that a Subaru dealer charged for my 60k service, he failed to do many of the things Subaru recommends for a 90k service, including replacement of the brake fluid and clutch fluid, and inspection of: - belts - fuel system - cooling system - clutch - transmission - brake lines, pads, and discs And while Subaru suggests inspecting the differential fluid, Doc's decided before he looked at my car he was going to replace my differential fluid, which had been replaced only 5k miles earlier, when I had an oil change. To summarize, he overcharges and under-performs, and I wouldn't trust him to work on any vehicle ever again.

7/14/25. I was camped in Cannon Beach at an RV park and had a brake issue. It was pretty nerve wracking since I had to vacate my travel trailer the following day, but I couldn't drive my truck. Doc's got me in, diagnosed and repaired the problem the same day. Thanks guys, 5 stars!! You saved the day.

I didn't have my car serviced here, but they get 5-stars. Let me explain. While on vacation, my Jeep made rubbing sounds when turning. I immediately Googled and found Doc's. I walked in there on a Monday. They were slammed. I was only going to be here through Wednesday. They took 15 minutes out of their day to drive it around. Even had another guy ride with the driver. The noise wasn't nearly as loud as it was in the morning, so I decided to take care of it in Washington. I couldn't believe they took the time to look into it. If I lived here, they would get all my business.

Had an issue with my van door. They were able to quickly resolve it and didn’t even charge me. Total life saver. Saved my vacation. Can’t recommend enough.

Hi So I went in with 2001 dodge ram 1500 hard start problems.Thinking great reviews are good so I'll give it a try. $1300 bucks later same issues they replaced fuel injectors. I then had them drive it back to office to try and fix no go they couldnt fix. I then replaced the oil sending switch after he said it could cause it why they didn't who knows.$50 more dollars later. I've called back a couple times trying to resolve but get put on hold nor has anyone call me back to check on issues.or even a follow up. So I'm trying a different spot thanks for a big bill that's what I can say. Update!!!! I went to see doc again talked to him about issues he said "I'll be by tomorrow to pick truck up at 9am" no show. I waited until 10am also no call this is after holiday shop was open for business. I then decided to take to another shop. The new shop owner told me the issue the next day. He let it set over night inside started right up,but when he let set out side in cold truck wouldn't start up, issue truck coil no spark after he fixed no issues starting Amen. He also gave me a check list of things high priority fix and things that can wait. He also pointed out bad distributor cap and rotor something Doc's place over looked thats the first thing you check distributor was no good ,and rotor. So you bring your truck or car where you want ,but I highly recommend a 2 second Opinion. Time is money we all work way to hard to give money away. FYI. I looked at Doc's comment on my review. He stated he replaced my oil sensor switch. We'll folks i replaced it bought the switch at Napa ,and put it in my self have the receipt. He had told me that it might cause the issues that's about it ,why he wouldn't replace to see if it was who knows ,but I replaced it and bought part. So with that said. I took truck to get fixed at his shop . I finally got it fixed at another shop.

Mike and his team fit us in and fixed our window emergency problem (not rolling back up) despite their busy schedule. We were tourists visiting Astoria and needed this emergency fix. Everyone was professional, courteous, and kind. Pricing was very reasonable. We are very thankful for what they did in a time of dire need!

The guys at Docs are outstanding. Had some noises coming out of my front end while I'm 5 hours from home. They got me in immediately and diagnosed the issue very quickly. It was exactly what I thought and they didn't try to sell me anything that I didn't want. The owner and technicians are all very friendly and professional. I'm extremely grateful to have found them and get back on the road trouble free. These guys deserve your business.

Doc provides wonderful service and we are lucky to have him and his family in our community. They strive to provide beyond excellent service. He once drove to my house to test my car battery and give me a jump, when he had no obligation to do so.

Docs was fantastic. I had my car towed in the middle of the night on a weekend. I got a quote and time estimate the next day. They found and fixed the problem that the dealership had ignored, and were done a day earlier than they estimated. I couldn't have asked for better customer service and service overall. Great place to get your car worked on. Try them first!

My father Chris Douglas took his car because his car had an oil leak. He was charged roughly 670 dollars and as he was driving away it was still leaking oil. He then came back in to try to resolve the issue, was charged roughly 335 dollars and the issue persisted. Then came in one last time when he was offer one more solution and quoted another large amount of money and gave up. Not good.

My partner and I are in Seaside over my weekend on a short trip and we woke up yesterday to a car that wouldn't start. Doc's accepted us on short notice, had the source of the problem figured out quickly, and the car fixed and back to us by the next morning. I hope I don't need a similar fix on a future vacation, but I know I'll be going back to Doc's if I do.

We are so thankful and appreciative of Doc's! Awesome customer service! Our flashing check engine light in our motorhome was diagnosed and the issue resolved. Time was taken out of their very busy schedule to take care of us right away, and so greatly appreciated! Thank you!

This shop CAME TO OUR RESCUE! We were here in Seaside for the weekend and found out (while on the highway) that we had gotten a botched oil change back home a couple days ago. We were leaking oil and panicking. This team immediately put our car on the lift, diagnosed the problem, and fixed it. I can’t say enough about their honesty, professionalism, and kindness. There are good people still in the world, and some of them are here at Doc’s. Thank you guys!!!

After asking many friends for mechanic referrals, we took our car in to Doc's for a repair and had a great experience! Very professional communications, got the car fixed quickly, and priced fairly. I highly recommend, and will be back next time we have a repair need.

Doc's saved our vacation road trip. We were stranded at our campsite. Doc came on the weekend to our site and fixed the problem, enabling our family to continue our road trip from British Columbia to Southern California. Just overall great service. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers. If I lived in Seaside, doc's would be my go to mechanic.

Doc's Auto Repair saved our vacation bacon! At our last oil change our Subie dealer told us our 5-year old battery was "getting a little weak," and we made it all the way to Seaside before it started giving alarming warning signs. Doc's fit us in for a new battery, no appointment needed, less than 10 minutes! Friendly staff who obviously know their stuff. I love a repair place that has a few fancy/racy cars parked here and there; these people obviously love cars :)

Doc's did the front brakes on my 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I'm from out of town. I am very thankful I found a repair shop I can trust. Doc's was found to be honest - didn't try to up-sell unnecessary repairs. Highly recommend!

Brought my 2014 Dodge Charger in for diagnostic on a check engine light and hard idle. Doc's did the diagnostic on a Friday Holiday weekend, and had to order parts. I got a phone call from Lee Ann, apologizing they couldn't get the parts the same day to fix asking if we could do the repair "next business day". Next business day I dropped my car and 4 hours later got a call that the car was good to go. It's running better than it has in a year!! the Team at Doc's is amazing (especially Lee Ann). I unequivocally recommend Doc's for all your service needs. I am so impressed.

We came from out of town (Sandy Or). We thought we had a dead battery, so we purchased one from Les Schwab. That didn’t end up being the issue. We went to Doc’s auto repair, on a Thursday night when they were trying to get out of there for a week vacation, just a couple minutes before closing. I’m not sure if it was Doc, but he told us to back up and open the hood. He immediately knew the issue. We needed a new starter!! We wanted to say thank you, and we appreciate you so much! We will be in touch soon, we owe you!

We were stranded in seaside with a bad alternator and had no idea to take it to, I checked reviews and found great reviews with Doc's Auto Repair and let me tell you they were fantastic, it's hard enough to find a good auto repair place in your own town, and being out of town you are at the mercy of the shop. But not with Doc's, they were friendly promised the vehicle would be fixed early in the afternoon and did not rip me off on price. And its not like this was the only vehicle they were working on, they are very busy probably because people trust Doc's. Rest assured if you need your vehicle fixed take it to Doc's you won't be disappointed

What a wonderful owner and crew! Very kind. I live out of my car and they were very understanding with my need for timing to get my vehicle back. They went out of their way to make sure my vehicle was safe to drive and I would make job interviews I had the same day. 10/10 would recommend. Kind, respectful and was talked to throughout the process. No money grabbing undertones like some mechanics I’ve experienced. Truly a great spot to take your vehicle!

Doc's fit me into their packed schedule same day and quickly replaced our alternator and fixed our locked gas cap. Very professional, efficient and a very fair price. They got us out of a tough situation so we could keep traveling safely with peace of mind. So grateful for them. I highly recommend Doc's Auto!

My wife and I were on vacation in Seaside, OR. when we encountered a problem with our van. The check engine light came on and it was running very rough. This was about 12:00 pm on a Friday. I knew that we had to be able to drive our van back home to Washington the following day. When I arrived at Doc's Auto Repair, I could tell that they were busy due to the large number of vehicles there. Despite arriving at Doc's Auto Repair halfway through their workday (on a Friday as well), he was able to quickly diagnose the problem and have the repair completed the same day! I was definitely impressed by Doc's knowledge and experience. I would highly recommend this auto repair shop to anyone who lives close enough to get there. It is worth driving a little out of your way to get quality auto repairs done at a reasonable price.

My fathers Tahoe broke down about an hour and a half outside of Seaside traveling from Prineville. He got towed and we brought it to Docs because of the great reviews. They did not disappoint. They went above and beyond to find a part that was needed. Although they were very busy, they took care of my fathers vehicle and didn’t make him wait. Docs saved my family’s vacation. They were very professional, competent, patient, and friendly. They took time to answer lots of questions. They didn’t need to fit him in, but they did. Can’t thank Docs enough for such great service.

The best car repair service I have ever received, hands down. Two Crows went above and beyond with their caring attitude, affordable rates, and quality work. My friend and I were driving to the coast from Portland when the brakes stopped working very well. Desperately needing the car to be looked at, we checked Yelp to see the number one car repair in the area and found Two Crows. I am so glad that we chose them. It turned out the brake cylinder was completely shot and was hard to disassemble, but they still got us on the road back to Portland the same day. They worked on the car for more than five hours but only charged us two hours of labor! They went two hours over what they had predicted, but that was because of the degree of damage that the cylinder was in and how gingerly they had to disassemble it in order not to hurt anything further that couldn't be replaced that day. They gave us updates and explained everything that was needing to be fixed. All in all, it was very affordable and a great value, plus their customer service was stellar. They asked us to text them when we got safely back to Portland too so they knew we were OK. More than being a great auto repair place, they were caring people. Thank you Two Crows for helping us out so much.
