Paradigm Autoworks Of Aitkin

Had an issue come up they got me in right away. Took good care of me. Very happy with them.

Not the review I was hoping for. Truck blew the rear diff just past Aitkin on the way back to Duluth from Brainerd. State Farm towing is a joke, would only tow to Aitkin, closest town.

It was paid out a full week later, only after repeated follow-up. After reinstalling the replacement PCM myself, I discovered a buried splice inside the engine harness—likely done by a prior mechanic. This hidden modification was feeding incorrect voltage into the PCM circuit. Paradigm had the Jeep for weeks and never mentioned or addressed the issue. They didn’t cause the splice, but they didn’t catch it either—despite working directly on t
