Dealership had recommended repairs for a steering gear leaking for $2700, not to mention the other 3 or 4 recommendations at $100 to $200 a pop. Johnson Engine Service did all of that and more for $700 less. They have worked on 3 of our cars and always done exceptional work, gone over and above, all at a reasonable price. We highly recommend them!

Johnson made a thorough diagnosis of a problem, (01 duramax diesel truck losing coolant).while the Dealership wanted to replace head gasket for $7500 when that may or may not be the problem.Johnson Engine service first performed the proper diagnostics then repaired the coolant leaks for a fraction of the cost of dealerships solution. I will need to put some miles on the truck to see if there are additional problems to address but I am so happy Johnson is going over my truck repair in a logical order, not performing a costly repair when it may not be needed.They are doing the right thing for my truck and my pocket book.I am so glad to have found a trusted shop to take my diesel truck.

Good place to get parts

Quick visit. Staff friendly, no work done.

Always great service from these guys

Very up front and honest fair prices did great work on 04 ford 6.0 and gears and locker

Excellent service. A must if you need help with a carbureted engine. Shelby offered solutions, but did not was not in any way pushy, and mentioned some of the items that could be done myself. Cost of labor and parts was a great value, and well worth every penny. I will be back!

Very knowledgeable, integrity, fair price, done on time

I had my truck worked on at Johnson Engine Service recently and had nothing but a great experience. Not knowing what the problem was, I took my truck in thinking it was one thing when it actually turned out to be something completely different. The owner Shelby was very kind and respectful keeping me informed the entire process and my truck now runs like new again. A hardworking, fair, extremely knowledgeable, and honest crew.

Great service! Shelby even stayed late to make sure the job was done the same day. Thank you.

Shelby was great. Helped me out even when he originally didnt have time for me. You could tell by just talking to him that he was an honest man and interested in cars and helping people.

Honest, friendly and very knowledgable. My issues ended up being a loose wire on my starter solenoid after spending a couple hours not being able to figure it out on my own. Got me in same day (even though they were booked 3 weeks out) and didnt charge me for anything. Would highly recommend. Great group of guys.

Cant say enough good things about Shelby at Johnson Engine Service. Very polite, respectful and knowledgeable. He was able to fix my A4 in a timely manner and has gone above and beyond to help me find a reputable shop in Colorado since I moved from the Salem area. I would recommend Shelby and Johnson Engine Service to anyone.

Shelby and Keith did a great job fixing my car. The car was an absolute disaster and requires some pretty thorough and intensive knowledge to fix. They were very fair on the price and found many used parts to repair things to keep the cost down low. Highly recommended

First class operation.They installed long tube headers on my 2015 Mustang GT and did an awesome job!The know their stuff!

They were excellent. Broken key in ignition. They did an great job.

They do awesome work in your vehicle!

Shelby and crew are the best! I highly recommend for any of your vehicle needs.

I took my Nissan Xterra in to get a new engine, and they did a great job in fixing it. The reason Im giving it a 2 though is because the job was only supposed to take a week but after many excuses it was finally finished 4 weeks later than anticipated.

Outstanding service, highly recommend.

Knowledgeable staff in the area of fuel injection especially aftermarket setup.

Shelby was great at getting my Dodge Dakota back on the road after the electronic switch for the 4 wheel drive unit went haywire. Great service and great turn around time!

Joe at Johnson engine service wins the award for the most amazing super sleuth on an electrical/ module/ charging issue in my 2017 Ford Fusion energi. My car was exhibiting charging issues/ no audio in the radio/ sluggish starts/ check engine lights/ throwing communication codes/ and radio pop up messages that said my car was shutting down to preserve battery and crazy beeps and screeches !!He took the time to listen to me - entertain my google searches on related issue in a ford forum- right down to identifying my car was manufactured in a certain plant and its thought that the batteries from that lot were defective and couldnt hold a charge- After 3 hours a couple scans and a deep dive into the hidden TSB for the TCU. He replaced the 12v battery, flashed the car - and off I went. As always I felt like his priority and appreciated his thoroughness.For the record - and this is not meant to denigrate another business which is why they shall remain nameless, but I did have my car into a dealership 1 week prior and was told all things look great and all TSBs were up to date - even though I reported these issues to them. Im grateful for Johnson Engine Service once again for coming through. FIVE STARS!!

Best shop around. These guys really care for people and there cars.

Would trust these guys with working on any of my cars! Excellent homest service!!!

Johnsons Engine Service is what every repair shop should be. Other shops in town wanted an appointment and almost $100 just to bring my diesel truck in the bay and diagnose the problem. Not Johnsons - thats just not the way Shelby runs the shop. He had me bring the truck down right away, dropped what he was doing (in an already busy shop) and started to climb all over my diesel truck. He checked everything, got out the flashlights, listened to the truck, and was able to determine where the problem is, as well as being able to talk to me about how to get the truck running even better than stock.Shelby made a lifetime customer out of me - and that was just the initial appointment. I walked away from his shop with a better understanding than I ever have about my truck, and he treated me with respect - despite my ignorance about diesel engines. Theyre booked out a week (also a good sign of a busy and well respected shop) - and I cant hardly wait for my truck to go in for its appointment with the diesel doctors at Johnson Engine Service.

The mechanics at Johnson Engine Service were helpful at first but my overall experience has been negative and I do not plan to go back. Heres the story: I brought a VW car I was interested in buying from a nearby dealership to be looked at by Johnson Engine Service. My initial interaction with Shelby, the owner, was positive, and they were able to see my car right away. From the results of the pre-purchase inspection Shelby told me the car would need at least $2,000 of work, and possibly much more, on about half a dozen issues. After some thinking and talking with the car dealership about price, I called several days later to talk to Shelby about the specific price for each of the needed repairs. He became impatient with me on the phone, was vague about the specific cost of fixing each issue, and after saying he would call me back never did. I decided to buy the car despite the need for so much work, planning to piece out the repairs over time. However, after taking the car to the POWER authorized VW dealership in Corvallis, where I live, the mechanics there werent able to find any of the issues wrong with the car that I had been told by Johnson Engine Service. Impatient treatment on the phone, no callback, and THOUSANDs of dollars of seemingly unnecessary recommended repairs make me hesitant to suggest other people patronize this business.

Great service at a fair price. Shelby does a great job explaining the problem and the repair options.

The best in Salem
