THE OFFROAD SHOP & AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE

Jan 06, 2025

I purchased a lifted TJ this summer and the manual shifter shook in first gear. I took it to The Off-road Shop and met Eric who knew what to do. He installed an Adam’s slip yoke eliminator and it drives perfectly now. Eric is a great guy, very personable and knowledgeable. I researched the “Adam’s” unit he installed and it’s of great quality. He didn’t skimp out. The price was fair and it’s fun to look around his shop which is close to Powell Butte. I couldn’t be happier. If you’ve got an off road vehicle go see Eric, not a dealership!

I was having a struggle finding a mechanic that could tell me what was causing some popping and droning sounds from my suspension and drive train. I called The Offroad Shop and spoke to Erik. He offered to take a quick look if I drove out there. He threw my rig on the lift and immediately pointed out a couple of things that were likely the culprit. He was right on the money as to what ended up being the issues. I ended up having to get my car repaired in a pinch for travel, so went a closer/faster route. That said, from his reviews and from my experience, he gets my five stars no doubt.

I've had Eric install lift kits on two of my XJs. One included a new SYE and drive line. He did good work and on time as scheduled. The SYE had a minor leak about two weeks after it was installed. I called Eric about and her resolved the issue quickly. I would definitely come back with future projects.

Erik is an amazing mechanic and fabricator; I have had all kinds of exterior, suspension, electrical, and winch related work done by him to my 4Runner. It is hard to summarize how good it has been having Erik work on my truck due to both his expertise in the field and his extensive 4x4 and metal fabrication experience. He has not only done a phenomenal job helping me shape my dream truck, but has guided me through the work I want done by making sure he understands what I am looking for, and helping to correct mistakes by vendors and make sure the work done on my rig is what he would want for himself. He treats me and my truck like family. If you are looking to have your truck turned in to something to be proud of, Erik will do you right and is deserving of your consideration. I am a tired old man that is an embittered fellow against much of modern society and I wish more of the world worked the way I have seen this man treat his customers and run his shop. Do me a favor and represent the pacific northwest by letting this guy make your truck real extra good.

Erik has done a few Jeep upgrades for us. He always does great work, is super responsive and gives a fair price. Thanks for getting our Jeep ready to go play in Moab!

The OFFROAD SHOP is the best off-road vehicle shop in the PNW. Period. Erik has done 3 sperate services on my 3rd gen Tacoma and all have been flawless. The prices are great, but the service is really what set this shop apart. Every time i talk to him, he knows exactly what he is talking about and is always a pleasure to talk to. Treats your vehicle as if it was his own. I can not say enough good things about this shop and the work Erik does. Anytime my friends say they need car work done after we go wheelin, my response is "I've got a guy".... 10/10 stars. P.S. If you have a 3rd gen manual Tacoma and your reading this, ask him to do the accumulator delete for you. Best money you'll ever spend.

A good old fashion shop in the sense that I was treated with respect by a very knowledgeable owner who enjoys working on vehicles. Price was fair and all my questions were answered. Everything worked the first time. I will be back

Great service & value!

Had a lift done on my 2021 wrangler and couldn't be happier with the results! Eric was Amazing and very professional. Would recommend!

Had locker installed in 4runner. Good price and customer service.

Has worked on my 2019 Tacoma before and I’ve been back with more because I trust this shop 110%! Recently installed my King 2.5” Shocks up front and I’m loving them! I called many other shops to get quotes from how much they’ll charge and the only shop who was actually reasonable was The Offroad Shop. Such great price for installation and top quality service. Truck was done in a few hours and I was thrilled with the outcome. If you’re looking for a shop to get your offroad needs complete, this is the place to go.!

Received a regear service on my 2013 mustang and my 2017 tacoma and so far I'm very pleased. Reasonable prices and timely service with quality care. I will be going back for future services. 💯

Erik is great to work with. He installed new gears, shocks, front and rear LSD and a big brake kit on my 2014 JKU, and I couldn't be happier with the results. He will get my business for any future Jeep work and I highly recommend his shop. A great experience all around. Nov. 2022 update - I've been back to Erik with my jeep on a few occasions since my first review a few years ago. Ball joints etc. this time around. The quality and value of his work and experience remain the same. No hesitation to recommend.

Erik installed new Bilstien 5100 shocks on my 2021 ram. He was able to get the parts quickly and installed without any issues. Great service, great prices, first place I go to when for any work needing to be done

Feb 06, 2022

Erik installed new struts and lift springs on my Subaru for me. He was really quick, did great work and gave a very fair price! And beyond that he was great to communicate with and just had an awesome attitude that made me feel confident about the work he did on my car. Wouldn’t have rather brought it anywhere else. Thanks Erik!

Feb 06, 2022

Erik is super helpful! Both my drivelines were going out and I needed some better headlights. The work was well done and my Jeep feels like a beast again!

Feb 06, 2022

Erik is the man! Knows his stuff, gives sensible advice, won't try to sell you what you don't need. Does quality work, finishes on time, charges fairly. He did a 3" lift, steering damper, and bumper/slider install on my '94 XJ; looks great, works great. He's in demand, but worth waiting for an appt and driving a bit further to have it done right.

Great shop that can do more, than just bolt on a set of pretty wheels.

I meant to do this review a long time ago, but late is better than never I suppose. I brought my Tacoma to this shop a while back for a cab mount chop, and it was done perfectly! Beautiful welds, fantastic paint job with no rust a year later. Zero tire rubbing on the cab mount now, and tons of room to spare. All done for a reasonable price and super fast turnaround time! I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for fabrication on their off-road vehicle!

Feb 06, 2022

Super satisfied with the work Erik did - thank you! You can tell he understands the value of your vehicle and treats it as such. Timely communication and excellent prices. I'll for sure be a return customer!

Erik did a great job on my 68 Scout. I took it out to him to discuss some potential projects after reading all of the raving reviews. He said he would do some online investigation and get back to me. A few days later he emailed me and proposed disc brakes and new suspension (including a slight lift). I agreed and dropped it off. At drop off we also discussed installing some seat belts for the back seat as well better securing the passenger seat. I bring these two things up because he had to design/make custom brackets for both. Not only is his work top notch, he's a good dude that will spend your money wisely and deliver quality work like it his own rig. I went to The Offroad Shop because of the amazing google reviews. You should too and you will not be disappointed.

Erik does quality work for amazing prices

Feb 06, 2021

Good good good good

Feb 06, 2021

Great customer service. Reasonable pricing. Erik installed a 2" lift on my Jeep to help fit larger tires. Nice to be able to support a small locally owned business. Planning on returning for more repairs.

Feb 06, 2021

One of the only real owner operator 4x4 shops in Portland. Need fabrication? This guy can weld you a full exoskeleton if you want it. Need shocks replaced? Done. Need hard to find parts? They got you. Leaking valve covers? Drivetrain service? Yeah... again The offroad shop got you. Great service and respectable pricing. Highly reccomended. Took my old Tacoma for a driveline service and after purchase inspection. Will bring my 4runner there after warranty.

This is the place to go. Best experience I’ve had at a shop. Super friendly. Very knowledgeable. These reviews don’t lie.

Feb 06, 2021

This shop is amazing! Both times ive come here, ive been absolutely welcomed in. Super friendly conversation, and you can tell the shop is aimed towards customer service. I went in for small things to be done, and this guy got them done incredibly fast. He didn't even seem bothered to by accomplishing small goals in the midst of larger projects. This type of service is amazing! Thank you! I plan on bringing more and more to this shop because of the level of customer care i experienced with my visit.

Top notch. Wish I could give Erik more than 5 stars. After searching high and low for a solid 4x4 shop I took my '00 XJ to him and he installed a pile of parts I had collected. UCAs, ball joints, tie rod ends, U-joints, coil pack etc. He's the first mechanic I've trusted to work on a vehicle I own. He did such a good job and his prices were so fair I took it back to him and had him do a full exhaust system. Header back plus all 5 O2 sensors and though those 20 y/o rusted manifold bolts had to give him trouble, he still had it done and done right the very next morning so I threw a third project at him. This time for posi, SYE, new driveshafts and axle bearings and I had a specific timeline I needed it by. Once again Erik knocked it out of the park. I could not be happier. This is a solid locally owned small business that we off-road enthusiasts should definitely be supporting. And for y'all who have questions on what he can and can't do on your rig, give him a call, send him an email, I bet he can. He seems to really enjoy what he does and I doubt he says no very often. I'll be taking my XJ back for sure but I'd also trust sending my dad here for work on his diesel Dodge 4x4 and I'd even send him my moms Honda Accord if he wanted to work on it. Great prices, great work and Erik is one of the nicest folks you'll meet.

Very helpful and fast same day service

Feb 06, 2020

Great place for fan work

Feb 06, 2020

Long story short Eric was absolutely awesome and accommodating to getting the gears done in my Tacoma under a tight timeline. He answered every question with a lot of knowledge and you can tell takes great pride in his work. Would highly recommend this shop and will continue to go to him for all my work going forward.
