Cant give 5 stars yet as i havent gotten any quotes or repairs done yet. Will update when once i have more information

We were traveling Coast to Coast with our 5th Wheel and 2007 Dodge Diesel. Noticed a growling noise from the rear differential, tried to get into a service center with a Dodge dealer in Provo UT, Boise ID, Portland OR, Astoria OR. All were booked out for a month due to the pandemic and shortage of technicians. Referred by the Warrenton Dodge dealer to call TJ's. They scheduled me in for diagnosis and repair.

This was over the July 4th holiday and rental cars were nonexistent. They provided their shop truck since we're on the road and replaced badly worn Bearings. It was the best experience I've received from a local shop that seriously cares about people on the road that needed service. I waited to post this review, so that the repair, and additional adjustments were good. We're now back in Montana with over 1200 miles and the rear differential is as it should be. Great service, excellent people and shop I'd recommend.

This is *THE* place to take your vehicle for service if you're anywhere proximal to Astoria. The service is fabulous and the prices are fair. They really know their stuff!

My daughter's clutch went out in the evening in Astoria on a day trip from Portland. AAA towed her car to TJ's after hours. Within a short amount of time, they had diagnosed and fixed the issue, and price was extremely reasonable. I would recommend them in a heartbeat! Great to see a shop with a lady that knows what she's doing working there! Thank you TJ's for making our trip from Portland completely worth it!
