Gearhead Garage

Doug is awesome and gave tips the whole time! Not the overbearing type of tips either, he seemed to genuinely want to help. Im a Journeyman Mechanic by trade so its nice to have some support that isn't trying to tell me exactly how to do it. 🤣 We came in because we (wife and I) needed a covered and dry spot to work on the car. The trunk seal had deteriorated and needed to be redone. The trunk and taillight seals needed replaced. It took my wife and I 2 hours with a little help from Doug. What would have costed me $300+ in labor turned into ~$70 for a bay rental. I did not use the lift so it was extremely affordable! I will definitely be back! Thank you Doug!

What a blessing to find this amazing self service garage. I was quoted by three shops to replace the rear differential on my Cadillac CTS, a price of $5000 minimum. I was able to replace the differential with a brand new one and rent the garage space with lift, hand and air tools, and transmission jack, for under $1000 total. The owner of the garage, Doug MacKinnon, was fantastic. With a bit of assistance from Doug, this 74 year old man was able to remove and replace the differential, thus saving over $4000. The lift and tool rental was only $250. What a clean and friendly shop Doug runs. I live in Washougal Washington, a fair distance from the shop, but well worth the time and money. Thanks again for your assistance Doug.

Great experience overall. Place was clean, tools were nicely laid out and organized. Doug the owner was chill, helpful, knowledgable, and awesome. He had a spring compressor and lift I could use which was immensely convenient. Doug even helped me several times when my car and parts were being difficult or stuck. This is the only business I know of you can rent a lift to work on your car safely so I would strongly recommend this to anyone who has the knowledge to fix something but not the tools or space!

Super helpful staff and they had all the tools we needed. Great place!

Went there today to replace break pads and rotors. This is a GREAT place to work. The staff was super helpful and friendly, the lifts make it so much easier and quicker to get the job done, and they even had a recycle bin for the old rotors. 100% recommend.
