Chevron-Ev’s Hi-Tech Auto & Towing

We had truck troubles while pulling our 5^th wheel up the coast. The mechanic fit us in and was able to hook our diesel up to his computer for a minimal cost and get us some answers. He was helpful and honest.

Thank you to Kevin who promptly towed, diagnosed, and repaired our truck. Even the parts we needed for our truck were readily available at the shop! We were traveling from out of state and towing a trailer so he jumped right into the repair and quickly got us back on the road. Friendly, affordable and great service.

Car broke down on the jetty about 7 pm. Called for a tow. They were there in 10 min. Unfortunately starter was toast, he took my car after driving us back to out motel. We were due to leave the next morning. By 9 am my car was fixed!!! He picked me up to go pay the bill, what I expected to be outrageous was very reasonable! Amazing people! Great friendly service! We just got back from another trip there and of coarse I stopped in to get gas and to say thank you!! thank you the whetstines

Driving from San Francisco to Portland, I managed to rip a hole in my oil pan and ALMOST destroy my engine. These guys were so nice. The mechanics took their time to explain what was going on, how they’ll evaluate it, and how they’ll fix it. Even called my brother to explain what happened (because I don’t know anything about cars) and he drove me to get a rental car! Honest and genuinely nice guys. I was very lucky to have pulled into this garage in this cute little city!

Nearly a week later, I’m still angry about how I was treated at this station.
Last Wednesday (3÷18÷15) I had an appointment at 9 a.m. for my and my partner’s car to get a new battery and battery cables. We had made the appointment nine days earlier; we did that because our work schedules demand it. I was assured by the mechanic that day that the work would take «half an hour, tops.»
Nine days later, on the 18^th, I drive in at 9 in the morning only to be told by the mechanic that it would be «two, two and a half hours before we can get to it.»
Now we all know what «two, two and a half hours» means in mechanic-​speak. It means «four, four and a half hours,» if not more. But «two, two and a half hours» was already entirely unacceptable. I didn’t *have* «two, two and a half hours» to wait!
My questions are these: why even have an appointment book if you don’t honor the appointments you make? Why bother? The mechanic treated me gruffly, and did not bother to apologize for blowing me off.
We’ve had mechanical work done at this station before, once. We were relatively pleased with it. But the treatment I received last Wednesday was totally over the line. As a result, we’re looking for a new mechanic to do business with. We’ve had several good referrals from trustworthy folk (several of whom told us to avoid this station, as they’ve had negative experiences as well); hopefully we’ll find someone who actually honors their commitments and appointments as put down in their own books, which aren’t used as set props.

Our tire pressure light came on in the middle of our road trip and after passing three gas stations that either didn’t have air machines or the machine was out of order, we came upon this chevron. Not only did they have an air machine but Fred personally checked each tire and pumped air for me. It may not seem like much but after driving for a long time, his nice gesture was greatly appreciated. Five stars for great service!

I was driving to northern California from Portland, with my aunt who is a senior, in my 14 year old Toyota RAV4 when the check engine light came on. I pulled into this Chevron & they were very kind in checking it out for me, & in the end because I was staying that night in town anyway, I brought it back the next morning & had them run a scan on it. Though I had no appointment, their mechanic saw the car right away, did the scan in a thorough way, explained the results to me, & told me it would be OK to continue my trip. He also told me what to watch out for (which luckily didn’t happen). They gave my aunt a nice place to wait so she didn’t have to be cold, & I was in & out of there in half an hour for a very reasonable price. If you are going to have car trouble in Gold Beach, go to Ev’s! Thank you for helping me out, guys, I appreciate it!

If you need a repair on your car, this is the place to go while in Gold Beach. These mechanics have been working and keeping my car in top condition now for 5 years. When I go in, they do an inspection and are ALWAYS competitive in their pricing. They call me by my first name. I almost feel it is like my own kids working on my car. After-​all I am 70 so most everyone could be my kid. They are polite, professional and always do the job right. I would recommend them way over any mechanic in Brookings. Need tires? Buy them at the Chevron and they stand behind their warranties. They are also the AAA truck that you would be seeing if you had road trouble on 101. I cannot say enough good about EV’s Chevron.
