Worth the Drive from Cascade Locks

Cascade Locks drivers regularly make the trip to Hood River for service at Ortigoza Auto Repair — and once they do, they keep coming back. There's a reason: where many Gorge shops are booked weeks out, we typically get you in within days, often same-day for urgent work. Where dealers charge premium labor rates and pad invoices, we charge fairly and tell you exactly what your vehicle needs.

From Cascade Locks, we're 25 minutes west to our shop at 1403 12th Street, Hood River, OR 97031.
