Today we had the pleasure of helping out some new Subaru friends from Canada 🇨🇦 . They were having fuel pump issues Friday and we were able to accommodate next day turnaround. We happened to have the proper AEM 340 pump on hand and solved a loose battery ground issue as well.

We now have increased capacity to turn regular maintenance, diagnostics, and repair around faster with our awesome new teammates on board.

Reach out and let’s keep you going without having to resort to dealerships or quick l**e shops! We’ll get you in ASAP.

This Jeep Grand Cherokee came back to us after an unfortunate encounter with fresh yellow road paint.

What many people don’t realize is that fresh road paint isn’t just paint - it’s loaded with reflective glass beads and can build up extremely thick on a vehicle’s surfaces. In this case, a vehicle ahead drove through the paint and sprayed it across virtually every panel of the Jeep.

Fortunately, this vehicle was previously protected with Opti-Coat Pro. We were able to safely remove the road paint contamination, polish the affected areas, and reapply fresh Opti-Coat Pro where needed.

Situations like this are never fun, but they highlight two things: the value of a quality ceramic coating and the importance of having the right tools, products, and experience to correct the damage properly.

The end result? Back to looking like it never happened.

Opti-Coat

06/12/2026

This Rogue was coated with Opti-Coat Pro ceramic 5.5 years ago, and the coating is outliving its 5 year warranty with minimal care. It was in for a decontamination maintenance wash, and is still offering up great protection & appearance.

The old saying you get what you pay for definitely applies to coating products. Reach out if you want your vehicle or motorcycle properly protected with coatings installed by our certified professional.

Opti-Coat

This Victory received a full 2-step paint correction followed by Opti-Coat Pro Plus ceramic coating on the paintwork, frame, and fork bodies for lasting gloss and protection.

We also treated the seat with Opti-Guard Leather, cleaned and brightened the whitewalls, and restored several faded textured black components to a darker and more even finish.

A sharp looking bike made even sharper!

Give us a call or fill out a service request online if we can help bring the shine back to and protect your car, truck, or bike!

Whether it’s chasing down complex electrical faults, solving drivability issues, handling scheduled maintenance properly, or keeping aging European vehicles on the road longer, our team has the tools, experience, and diagnostic process to get to the bottom of problems the first time.

These are not “parts cannon” cars. Modern German vehicles require proper testing, accurate diagnostics, and technicians who understand the systems inside and out.

At Portland Performance, we service and diagnose:

* Porsche
* Audi
* Volkswagen / VW
* BMW
* Mercedes-Benz
* MINI
* And more

From daily drivers to enthusiast cars and long-term ownership vehicles, we’re here to help keep them running properly.

This ‘66 Corvette was in the detailing lab for some strategic paint protection.

One area that constantly gets beat up on these mid-year convertibles is the rear deck lid where the convertible top and hardware contact the paint. Over time, that repeated movement can leave scuffs, haze, scratches, and wear marks in a very visible area.

Before protection, we gave the area a gentle polish to minimize the existing scuffing and clean up the finish without getting overly aggressive.

Then we installed 4 layers of Opti-Shield on the rear deck area for maximum protection.

This stuff is seriously cool.

Opti-Shield is essentially a liquid-applied sacrificial protection layer designed to help absorb abuse in high-contact areas while keeping the appearance clean and subtle. No bulky edges, no changing the body lines, and no obvious film transition lines on a classic car.

On this ’66 Vette, those multiple layers give the deck lid an added level of defense against the constant rubbing and movement from the convertible top assembly while helping preserve the finish underneath.

Cars like this deserve protection before damage happens, not after.

If you’ve got a classic, muscle car, exotic, or high-end driver you want to keep looking right, reach out to us about protection, correction, coatings, and preservation work.

We can treat common wear areas or an entire vehicle!

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Portland Performance!

Remember - flowers are nice, but giving your mom proper diagnostics on her car instead of “just clearing the code and hoping for the best” is true love.

We dug deep into this Audi A8 to properly track down and solve communication network issues the right way the first time instead of throwing random parts at it like many establishments might.

Modern vehicles are rolling computer networks, and proper diagnostics matter more than ever.

We’ve got experienced in-house diagnostic technicians for:

* European
* Japanese
* American
* Diesel
* Foreign & domestic platforms alike

Transmission issues, engine issues, warning lights, strange electrical problems, vibrations, suspension noises, braking concerns, drivability problems - you name it, we can get to the bottom of it for your mom.

Whether it’s an intermittent fault nobody else has solved yet or a daily driver that just doesn’t feel right anymore, we have the tooling, experience, and process to properly diagnose it the first time.

Give us a call and let’s get your mom’s ride fixed up properly:

This BMW M5 came in for a proper refresh and protection package to bring the paint back to life while preserving the integrity of the aging paint system.

We performed:

* Single-stage paint enhancement to improve gloss, depth, and overall clarity
* Targeted spot correction in several higher-defect areas that needed extra attention
* Careful refinement work to reduce wash marring and bring consistency back to the finish
* Application of Opti-Coat Ultra Shine ceramic coating for added protection and easier long-term maintenance

Not every vehicle needs an aggressive multi-stage correction. On vehicles that are starting to show some age, a properly executed enhancement paired with the right protection package can make a huge difference while remaining paint-conscious.

Opti-Coat Ultra Shine is a great fit for vehicles like this - adding gloss, hydrophobic properties, deeper scratch concealment, UV resistance, and a sacrificial layer of protection with a 2-year durability rating when properly maintained.

The end result is a cleaner, deeper, sharper finish that’s easier to maintain and ready to be enjoyed, for less than the cost of the 5, 7, and 10+ year coatings.

If your vehicle is starting to lose some of its depth and clarity, but you want a realistic and sensible restoration approach, reach out to us.

Not every transmission that runs low on fluid is automatically junk.

This vehicle came in after the transmission pan had rotted through and leaked fluid out. The remaining fluid was badly burnt, but before condemning the unit outright, we used our Flo-Dynamics TSD450 transmission fluid exchange machine to perform a proper fluid exchange and give the transmission a fighting chance.

Using the machine’s dipstick mode, we were able to exchange fluid without disconnecting cooler lines or taking apart hoses. In the video, if you watch closely, you can actually see clean red fluid being pushed into the transmission, then the machine reverses direction and pulls out the dark, burnt fluid.

One thing many people don’t realize is that simply dropping the transmission pan generally only removes around 1/3 of the total fluid capacity. The rest remains inside the torque converter, valve body, cooler circuits, and transmission internals. A true transmission fluid exchange requires cycling fluid through the system with the engine and transmission pump operating.

The Flo-Dynamics machine also allows us to fully purge the machine between fluid types so we can properly service a wide range of transmission designs and manufacturer fluid specifications. It also keeps the old contaminated fluid and new clean fluid completely separated during the exchange process for a much cleaner, more controlled, and more surgical service procedure.

If your vehicle is due for transmission service, or you’re dealing with shifting issues, fluid leaks, or questionable service history, reach out.
