Ocean Tire & Auto Service

Had a ck battery light come on half-​way to the Oregon Coast from Corvallis, summer of ’14. Not long after the battery charge dash gauge started to slowly drop, then fast! Turned off everything elec. and limped to Newport. Scoped the main drag– quickly as we were running out of juice– and found a few repair shops, one empty, one with three or four bays with cars. Opted for that. The owner (don’t recall his name) said, «let me check.» Battery fine, alternator gone on my F150. He said he’d have it done in 90 minutes with a rebuilt (the new was $ 100 more and two days.) The fam grabbed a taxi to the harbor while the work was done. We’d planned on a beach day, then back to Corvallis for baseball, but all in all, seafood lunch was good, the truck was done on time, and it’s been great since. BTW, I called my mechanic back home to ask about the cost of the alternator and labor while at lunch and Ocean Auto came in right on target. When you’re on vacation and need it done «as fast as you can» and they do that without gouging you, you get 5 stars. Thanks, Ocean.(I did give him a 20 and said he had to promise to buy his gal flowers on the way home!)

Good people, good mechanics. Very knowledgable, they make sure they do it right the first time.

EXCELLENT! I was travelling interstate when my TPMS light came on. Staff at Ocean Tire checked the tire pressure and sent us on our way– no charge.
Nice people, I tried to tip or buy the mechanic a soda…
But he wouldn’t take $.
