I had a fantastic experience here! I worked with James, who was professional, helpful, and communicative throughout the entire process. I will definitely be bringing my Acura here in the future.
I’m Joanne Beverly, currently serving as a Service Administrator Assistant at Acura. My journey in the automotive industry has given me a diverse range of experiences, starting with managing a rental car company, where I developed strong customer service and operational skills. I then transitioned to the service department at a Ford dealership, deepening my understanding of automotive service processes.

Outside of work, I love to travel and explore new cultures, enriching my perspective both personally and professionally.
Interestingly, when I first entered the automotive industry, my intention was to spend two years here before moving on to real estate. During this time, I’ve been fortunate to pursue both paths simultaneously, significantly fulfilling my personal goals.

Andres Garcia
Service Advisor at Acura of Portland
With over four years of experience in the automotive industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work in various roles that have helped me build a strong foundation in both parts and service. My career began at an auto parts store, where I gained a solid understanding of vehicle components and the critical importance of quality parts. From there, I moved to a Chevrolet dealership as a Parts Member, further refining my expertise before transitioning to my current role as a Service Advisor at Acura of Portland.
In my role as a Service Advisor, my priority is always to deliver exceptional service and ensure a seamless, positive experience for every client. I take the time to listen carefully to each customer’s needs, clearly explain the necessary repairs or maintenance, and work hard to ensure their Acura is always in top condition. My background in both parts and service allows me to offer well-rounded, reliable advice and solutions that keep your vehicle running smoothly. I’m passionate about providing the best possible service to every customer and look forward to helping you keep your Acura in great shape for years to come.
Outside of work, I enjoy restoring my 1998 Honda Civic and BMW E36, spending quality time with my family, and exploring the outdoors.
Hi, I’m Mark, and I’m excited to be part of the Dick Hannah Acura team as of December 2024. My journey in the car business started back in high school when I washed cars at the local Mercedes dealership. After graduating from Oregon State University in 1994, I returned to Mercedes, where I worked in the shop, sold cars, and eventually transitioned into writing service in 2016.
The best part of my career has been the relationships I’ve built with customers and colleagues over the years. Outside of work, I’m usually found tinkering on my own cars (or my son’s) or taking care of my vintage 1959 Lambretta scooter. I’m looking forward to helping you keep your cars running smoothly and in top shape!
My name is Y, just a single letter, but pronounced “E.” I’ve had the pleasure of being part of the Acura of Portland family for five fantastic years. Throughout my journey, I’ve owned several generations of the Acura TL, and my passion for these vehicles runs deep. As a Parts Specialist, I like to think my expertise shines brightest in the J series engine and the Acura TL drivetrain, especially those models from 1999 to 2014. It’s truly rewarding to help fellow enthusiasts find the perfect parts to keep their Acura’s running smoothly!
