Clutch & Brake Doctors – Beaverton

Fast, efficient service! I called around other shops wanted $ 60 just to LOOK at my truck. This shop got me in and out in a short amount of time and didn’t charge me $ 60 to LOOK for the issue (ended up being a quick fix, no charge). I’ll definitely be recommending them in the future!

The reviews here for the Clutch and Brake Doctors are no hype. The brakes on our 2000 Grand Cherokee were starting to shimmy and pulse. We took it in for the free brake inspection and they found out the problems in under a half hour. The quote estimate was unbelievably reasonable, and (surprise!) the final cost was exactly what the estimate was. Wow. (We were so happy with the price we forgot to use the $ 10 Unilocal coupon!) The brakes are now smooth as silk and we’re big fans of the Doctors. Great work, guys.

It was easy to get an appt and the price was good. I didn’t appreciate that i had to wait to check in when the phone rang. They should have been asked to hold. They did my front brakes/​rotors and an oil change. Had the work done by lunchtime so i could pick it up on my break. I asked them to rotate my tires since they’d be taking them off for the brake job. Afterwards i noticed the rear tires need to be rotated too. Would have been nice if they had asked me if i wanted it done. So they do what you request but don’t make suggestions.

I had a new brake kit installed front and back. I got a quote within a few minutes of asking for one on Unilocal.The price was quite reasonable, so I went ahead and scheduled an appointment. The service was quick and they took care to point out the manufacturer’s break-​in procedure, which is critical. I definitely recommend.

If you’re in Beaverton and need a car worked on, check out Clutch Doctors on Canyon. Brutus (’93 GMC Safari van) was leaking oil, and his back hatch wouldn’t open. First we went to Canyon Auto repair, on a friend’s recommendation. Their communication was iffy. They fixed the back hatch but their idea on the oily undercarriage was to replace EVERYTHING for over $ 1850. Instead we went to Clutch Doctors on the recommendation of another friend. They pressure washed the bottom (no charge) and sent me home to drive around for 50 miles so they could really see where the leaks were coming from. They found the problem and fixed it. Meanwhile he developed a coolant leak. They resolved that, too. We got a 6-​oil-​change package, motor mount, and some little stuff done (headlight, etc) and the total bill was under $ 600. The guys were super friendly and even stayed late so I could pick up the van after work. Highly recommended!

Had some trouble shooting done here. The let me know what is an immediate issue and what isn’t. They let me know when my car wasn’t worth repairing, so I didn’t waste a bunch of money on repairs because I had to buy a new car anyway.
I can only say good things about this place.

after my brakes went out to go pick my dad from the VA hospital, i was stranded. They fixed me up the next day. Big thanks! Fair price. Its scary driving thru the zoo tunnel with no brakes!

These guys have always been good. Over the past 5 years we have used them several times. They have had competitive prices, and been honest with us. I’ve had simple things like oil changes — and more complex things like brake replacements and suspension upgrades. Kevin in the office has been helpful in scheduling and answering questions. All in all we have been satisfied with this place. We have not had anything huge or extreme done here — but I have watched them doing some of our repairs (because I am anal-​retentive about these things) and they have been good thus far. We have never had any problems with any work they have done.

This process was leaps and bounds over what i normally expect from an mechanic. I messaged them on Unilocal after getting a terrible quote on all new brakes and rotors from Les Schwab. Their quote (which was less than HALF of what Les Schwab quoted) was exactly what they ended up charging me. I was really stressed about having to miss work, and that was picked up on– they provided me a rental car so that we could wait and get oem parts as opposed to ones of a lesser quality. They also changed my oil for free! I have been telling all my friends about this place. It’s not often that you find an honest mechanic that gives you a fair deal. Customer service is not dead! I will be back the next time I need help with my car.

My car was in desperate need of new brakes so we booked an appointment with Clutch & Brake Doctors. It was the best decision for my car and myself. Everyone was very kind and they inspected the brakes for free and gave us a quote for exactly what we needed, nothing extra. The quote was much lower than I was expecting which was great and they had it all fixed up in less than an hour! They didn’t try to sell any other repairs and we were in an out in no time at all. The waiting area is wonderful too!

I totally recommend this place. They were very helpful. I called for an estimate and they quoted a very reasonable price which was half that another popular chain charges for the same service. I was fit in the next day. The wait was about 2 hours for new front breaks and rotors (that sucked a little bit). They were very friendly and explained things well.

First off, I am female and I know car repair. I had an awful experience at another brake place today and ended up here. Best thing that could have happened! Honest doesn’t even begin to describe these guys! I got a quote for front brake replacement and ended up saving $ 35 from Unilocal discounts.
Do not fall for the attractiveness of a cheap price. If you want it done right, for a fair price and be treated wonderfully then come here.

A+ team. These guys took care of my front brakes today and also replaced my air filter. Got out of there with a lower bill than what I thought I was going to pay. They were also very timely — I was in there @ 8 and they told me it would be done by 10 which is when it was completed. Customer service was highly exceptional and they were highly informative. Thanks!!!

We thought our brakes needed changing but these guys were honest and told us what it really was. I know where to go for my future brake needs!

These guys saved my life again! They fixed the latch on my door instead of me having to buy a really expensive part I couldn’t afford. Thanks for being such a great business, Brake Docs!

I went in for a brake pad replacement for both front and rear. Their estimate was better than the Nissan dealer and other repair shops around the area. I found this place through Unilocal and got a quote over the phone and setup an appointment the very next day morning. They agreed to use the OEM brake pads for $ 20 extra/​axle which was good. They did a pretty good job on replacing the brake pads and resurfacing the rotors. There is no more squeaky noise and they also got the job done quicker in about 2 hours. The Wifi in the waiting area is pretty fast for working from there. They also honored the Unilocal deal which saved me another $ 25. Would definitely recommend this place for brake service.
Another thing was my dealer said that brake fluid flush was also needed but these guys checked it out and said there is more life in it and didnt try to rip off for such unwanted things.

Do NOT take your car to Clutch Butchers!!! On ⁸⁄₆ I took my Mini Cooper in to them to replace my clutch. I dropped it off first thing in the morning, but by late afternoon I’d not received a call from them and so I phoned. Kevin, the manager, said it was «ready» but had a lot of «play» at the top of the clutch, more than they liked, and he thought it just needed to be driven more. He said that he thought I would just need to adjust my driving habits. I went out, paid for the work, and then drove my car around their parking lot. I thought I was going to DIE. There was no clutch action at all – my car felt like a runaway train. It was now rush hour and I had to drive across town in traffic to pick up my son. No WAY could I do that. I came back inside the shop and told Kevin that I could not drive it like that. He assured me there was NOTHING wrong with it and that I just needed to get used to it. So I asked my friend who’d given me a ride there, a guy who knows a bit about cars, to drive it. He drove it around the parking lot and then took me aside and said, «He’s full of s**t.» He suggested I call my regular mechanic and describe the issue. I stepped outside and did that and Maya, a technician at Pacific Motorsports, said I should NOT drive the car in that condition. I went back inside and told Kevin, «I’m leaving it here for you to fix. I will pick it up tomorrow but I need it by noon.» He again said there was nothing wrong with it, and acted like I was a crazy, difficult customer for even asking him to fix it, but said he’d look at it. I phoned him the next morning reminding him I needed it by noon and said I would have to call a tow truck to take it to my mechanic if he couldn’t fix it. At that point, Kevin said, «I did find that one of the lines was wet,» and he said he had ordered me a new line. (It was the line from the clutch line section from the firewall to the junction before the master cylinder.) He replaced the line but nothing changed. When I went to pick up my car at noon (meeting the tow truck driver) Kevin said he was about to replace the master cylinder as that is all he could think to do, but that I needed to give him more time to try that. I told him that I had ZERO faith that Clutch Doctors could fix my car, or that any more time would help anything – besides I was out of time because I had to have my car shipped two days later. As you can see from the photo, my car had to be TOWED away from Clutch Doctors – a car that was working fine when I brought it in, and was now not even drivable. The worst part is that Kevin tried to get me to drive that death trap out in traffic – which would have endangered me, my car, my son, and all other drivers on the road.
The good folks at Pacific Motorsports found the issue: the line had not been properly bled. Here is their report: «Slave cylinder and brake reservoir are covered in wet brake fluid. Cleaned both and dried. Checked for leaks, unable to find active leak. Removed slave cylinder and pressure bled system several times. Found large air pockets in hydrolic system. Reassembled and test drove. Clutch pedal feels firm [now].
«Clutch was replaced at Clutch Doctors and now clutch won’t engage until all the way at the floor. Customer says it does not feel safe. Clutch Doctors bled system and replaced soft line. Loud clattering from engine. Checked oil and found oil low 4 quarts! Topped off and noise has gone away.»
I will be reporting this to the Better Business Bureau. BBB will ask me, and I will say: Yes, I did try to resolve this with Clutch Doctors. Kevin is on vacation and the owner is unavailable (apparently) to return my message I left last week. All I asked was for them to reimburse me for the extra work my mechanic had to do to fix their issue. I used AAA for towing so they would be getting off easy: $ 275.10 to reimburse me for what Pacific Motorsports had to do to bring it up to drivable condition. Unnecessary charges if they had just done what they were paid $ 1100 to do in the first place – something they are supposed to SPECIALIZE in! NO REPLY FROM CLUTCH DOCTORS; although last week Eli said he would leave a message for the owner, I never got a call back.
Stay away from this company. They do not stand behind their work, they don’t know what they are doing, and they attempt to cover up shoddy work by putting their customers in danger. They seriously need a negative or zero star rating here. They do not deserve a star.

This place is honest; they are the real deal. When I come in to have something checked, if I don’t need work they will tell me. Yesterday I brought my 97 CRV in to have the brakes checked; I thought I heard something. They checked it out thoroughly, came out to the waiting room and told me my brakes are good and safe. Often a single woman is a «sitting duck» at car repair shops. NOT HERE! I mentioned my elect outlet doesn’t work and they put a fuse in and told me to put my credit card away, saying «it’s a small thing.»
Last September I took my son’s car to a repair shop in Hillsboro I always used to go to. After a very high estimate for brakes for his car I brought it over here. The job was half what «Hillsboro» was going to charge me, and here they said I didn’t need everything that «Hillsobor» said I needed! Come here! They are honest and do great work! Oh, they are nice too.

Drove about ³⁵⁄₄₀ minutes from Clackamas to Beaverton to see these guys. Definitely worth it!
My initial cost of $ 350 for parts and labor was reduced to $ 116 after the guys there found out that the real problem was just a tensioner pulley and not my power steering pump like we had originally thought.
Everything was explained perfectly and everyone was professional, fast, and even better than I had expected.
I will definitely be recommending this place to anyone needing work done on their car.
Also, don’t forget the Unilocal deal! Saved me 25 $ and was super easy

I’ve brought my car to the Clutch Doctors twice now.
The first was for brakes which were very reasonably priced and gave me a great impression of the business. I rarely actually trust an auto shop of any kind, but this one felt okay. I’m taking away a star only because my brakes are about 3 months old now and they squeak. 4.5 stars seems more appropriate.
I brought my car in again for a new fan belt. It actually snapped and took out my power steering after they replaced it, due to a bigger issue in my car and not their fault. I brought it back immediately, right before closing. I had barely gotten in the door before Jeff ran up to me for the keys so they could get to work. I wasn’t in the best mood obviously, but I really appreciate their huddle to get things fixed.
Based on my two experiences here, 4.5 stars would be best, with the only issue being the squeaky brakes (which happened at Les Schwab, too). I’ll be back!
