    We have been taking our Land Rovers to PDX Rovers for 3 years now and they have always been honest in regards to the diagnosis of the problem. Their service has been excellent, and they are good people. It's a family owned business, and they treat the customer with respect. These cars are not cheap, Francis and his team are very thorough and make sure your problem is taken care of the first time. I have compared costs versus Land Rover Oregon and PDX is less expensive and provide full disclosure so there are no surprises.

    Francis has never let us down. He has always gone above and beyond to help us with our rovers. His staff is great, especially his son Teri. We have been with PDX Rovers for a decade now. Before that we were stuck with going to the overpriced dealer shop or going to a less knowledgeable shop. Francis is definitely the best and wont disappoint.

    I have been a customer at PDX Rovers for a few years now and never had ANY problems with service. I drive my ’96 Disco a lot and also take it off-road once in a while and that means I need to take good care of truck; well, Francis does it for me. Him and his crew is honest, hard working people with great knowledge of cars and if you own a Rover, his shop is all you need. Trust me!

    On a recent "check engine" visit, which turned out to be a loose gas cap, and a fast oil change, it became clear again why I will trust ONLY PDX Rovers with my car. Francis, Terry and Stig are fair and honest and treat me like a sister, not an ATM machine. I can never say enough good about them! When your Land Rover needs servicing, see PDX Rovers...NO ONE else will care for you like them.

    Maybe my recent professional service experience can help someone else make an informed decision as to where to take their Land Rover in the NW. My wife took our Discovery II to PDX Rovers (an hour and a half from our home) for a major scheduled service in December. We had 75k on the clock and, other than plenty of brake jobs, we'd been pretty lucky with it. The crew at PDX Rovers took care of the service the day of our appointment and sent us on our way. The next week we had some issues with codes indicating misfires on two cylinders. This was not a problem we had previously encountered. I switched plugs (from the irridiums they installed to NGKs) and the wires and we were back on the road without issue. Yesterday, I went to change the oil for the first time since the service at PDX Rovers. I drained the pan and then tried to loosen the filter. I had no luck. So I tried a filter wrench (cap style and band style), still no luck. Through these attempts I had appli... Read more

    This shop is to be recommended to all Land Rover owners in the area! Francis Watson, along with his son Terry are to be recommended for their willingness to go out of their way to help out stranded customers! On our last visit, we requested a brake job to be done. When they were finished and testing the vehicle, the mechanics heard another sound coming from the car. On close inspection they found that our front drive-line was close to breaking! They recommended we not drive the vehicle any further. However, we live 70 miles away, and it was 5pm, and the shop did not have a driveline on hand. This is when Francis and Terry shined. Instead of turning us away and leaving us stranded, they ordered the recently installed, new, front drive-line off of the shop's project vehicle to be removed and installed on our vehicle so we could return home that evening. This customer service goes above and beyond. Thank you for your professionalism! I will recommend you to everyone I know!

    Land Rovers are temperamental creatures. Treat them wrong, or take them to the wrong place, and like one of my teenagers, they often "act out". Having had WAY too many bad experiences with Land Rover of Portland, we had nearly given up on our Freelander, having already replaced an engine at less than 30,000 miles, and seemingly everything else you can put in an engine, not too long after that, I needed to find another way, or move on to another vehicle entirely. The rest of Portland had obviously found its alternative to the Dealership, and at the recommendation of friends, I was soon to join the club! But where to go? There are not many options as far as Land Rovers go, most mechanics will scratch their heads at any Land Rover problem, or worse, try to "fix" it ignorantly. So I was recommended to try PDX Rovers out. People are what make or break an organization, the Dealership never figured that out, and from the moment I walked into this family business's doors, I knew I ha... Read more

    Dear PDX Rovers, Thank you for continually caring so well for our family's Land Rover over these long years. You have been a blessing to the Portland Land Rover community since you opened, and you've not only saved me thousands of dollars in comparable repairs to the dealership, you've solved all the issues I had with it that no one else was either willing to fix for me, or knew how to. Despite the some 60 Land Rovers you must have at any given visit, you never cease to amaze me with your staff's ability to take care of anything I need, as if I were the only customer in sight. Far too many companies advertise themselves as Family businesses these days, but I am constantly amazed by the true genuine Watson family in action. You all work so well together, and care for me like I'm part of the family too. Francis, your son was professional, honest, and kind, your daughters cute and delightful, and you Francis, are not only an obviously good father, but a good friend to me, and ever... Read more

    I was recommended PDX Rovers by ...of all surprises, the Portland Dealership when they couldn't find the source of the electrical problems in one of my Land Rovers. Having replaced the central computer already, I was in distress! I was greeted with the most genuine people I'd met in a service industry, treating me like family. Better than that... they were family! Francis & Terry Watson, a father and son team, not only got in me in quick but held true a promise that they were different from the Dealer and would take care of me. Lending me a Discovery that belonged to Peter, Francis' brother and Parts Department guru, within a day they had not only solved my problem, but identified & fixed various other items that had long plagued me, from a bad cruise control to the wrong temp display on the A/C. All at no additional cost to the repair, which was already a happy price! I consider PDX Rovers and the whole family my friends. And I wouldn't recommend a Land Rover be serviced anywhere ...
