If you’ve had a bad experience with Portland car electronics stores, go to a shop off I5 and NE Broadway (by the Rose Garden) called Mobile West.
They installed a GPS and bluetooth my Honda Odyssey, and the experience was the opposite of what I’ve had at the…eh ehm…companies that advertise on the radio:
- Talk to real people. I bought the cheapest thing in the store, but got complete attention.
- Get a clean and tidy install. The equipment works flawlessly, wires are tucked away, and the dash is like-new tight.
- Drive a loaner car. They gave me a car to drive for the afternoon despite spending just $450.
