Tanner DitmoreOwner / Lead Tech
The guy under
your hood.
Tanner Ditmore. Owner & Lead Mechanic
Tanner has been taking things apart to see how they work for as long as he can remember. He spent years in other shops taking on the diagnostic problems nobody else wanted.
He opened True North to fill a real gap in Tumalo. A local shop you can actually trust. Honest answers, quality work, clear communication.
He's raising his family here in Central Oregon. The neighbors he keeps safe on the road are often literally his neighbors.
“I'd rather find the actual problem than sell you a part you don't need.”
