Bill and Anita Talus recently purchased Gary’s Automotive Service from original owner Gary Medearis. The auto repair shop has been serving the Happy Valley neighborhood for over 30 years. They both come to Gary’s Automotive Service with over 25 years of experience in the automotive industry. 

When Medearis was looking to retire, he approached Bill and Anita to take over his shop and carry on the good reputation he had established in the community. He handpicked the couple because he felt confident in their ability to keep up the quality of business and serve customers honestly. Another major benefit of taking over the auto shop was the over 25 years of experience the mechanics came with. 

Since taking over Bill and Anita have updated the appearance of the shop by adding a few personal touches such as a new paint job and landscaping. They look forward to servicing the community and providing excellent auto care. 

“We want to get to know our customers and make them feel like their mechanic is your friend. People worry about being scammed, which is why we started in the business; to provide good honest service at a fair price,” said Bill and Anita Talus 

Gary’s Automotive Service is located at 8707 SE 92nd Portland, OR 97086. For more information call 503-771-0412
