“I opened this shop because I was tired of watching good people get taken advantage of. Every car that comes through our door gets the same treatment — honest diagnosis, fair price, quality work.”

OUR STORY
Family-Owned. Community-Driven. NE Portland.
Marcus Chen worked at dealerships before opening Hoist Auto. He saw how the system worked: upsell everything, rush the work, and hope the customer doesn't ask questions.
He knew there was a better way. So he opened Hoist on NE Sandy — a small shop with big principles. Treat every car like it belongs to a friend. Explain everything in plain English. And never, ever push a repair someone doesn't need.
That philosophy hasn't changed. Our team has grown, but the values are the same. We know our customers by name. We remember what we fixed last time. And we still believe the best marketing is a job done right.
