Why Timberline

For more than 22 years, Timberline Auto Sales has sat on the same corner of NE Division Street in Gresham. Owner Dale Novak put his name on the door and never took it off.

The idea has always been plain: reliable cars and trucks for working families, priced honestly, with none of the theater. Mostly Japanese sedans and SUVs — Camrys, Civics, CR-Vs — and the trucks that never sit on the lot long. Every vehicle passes a fresh Oregon DEQ inspection and carries a 90-day powertrain warranty, with a Carfax report on the dash. Test drives take a license and nothing else — no appointment, nobody riding along to sell you.

Half our customers are people we've already sold to, now bringing their kids in for a first car.

That repeat business is the whole proof. We'd rather earn it with an inspection, a warranty, and a fair number than with a pitch. Financing runs through six local credit unions and all credit is welcome — if you've been turned away or upsold somewhere else, come talk to us. We'll even buy your current car outright, whether or not you drive off in one of ours.

And because a good share of our neighbors do business in Spanish, so do we. The price on the windshield is the price — that promise reads the same in any language.
