Miner Automotive

TLDR: Bryan, the owner of Miner Automative, is excellent at being a Z mechanic but not excellent at being a professional. Bryan did great work for me on my 1987 Z. He was thorough, his work was high quality, his prices fair, and he didn’t nickel and dime me, which on an old car is so nice. He also helped me recoup some money scammed out of me through another mechanic. However, we ran into conflict and now he has ghosted me and left me in a tough situation. The conflict: Bryan referred me to an auto body shop for a paint job (Chris). Chris did an absolutely terrible paint job and Bryan agreed. He went to bat for me and Chris repainted, but then refused to perform the cut and buff. Ultimately, Chris agreed to pay for someone else to do it. Bryan referred me to Ralf. During this process, th

If you have a Datsun that is in need of repairs or modifications, this is a great place to go. The owner is very knowledgeable and a kind person. You will not be disappointed.

Being the owner of a 1987 300ZX Turbo, it’s been really hard finding a local mechanic who knows anything about Z cars. My Z had a huge issue with electrical not working and two previous mechanics couldn’t figure it out at all. Bryan had it fixed in no time and charged only $40 for the repair. If you are looking for a Datsun/Nissan Z mechanic, I can not recommend anyone else in the Portland area who will know your car and treat it with a real passion. I’ll be bringing my car back again and again for anything else it’s going to need!

Bryan is the absolute BEST, hands down. I have a long history of having used cars with terrible mechanics who will screw you out of every dollar you have. Bryan is incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and very fair-priced for the exceptional work he does. I trust him and his work implicitly. It's so hard to find a good mechanic and my husband and I are thrilled to have found him. He knows literally everything and is always super nice when we call and even just ask him a question. Wouldn't trust anyone else and will always suggest him when someone is looking for a mechanic!

Excellent service! Bryan Miner is super knowledgeable about most cars and a total expert with BMW's and Datsuns. We've taken several cars to him to get repaired and he always takes the time to explain what's wrong and how to keep your car running better longer. He's a great mechanic!
