Complete auto care under one roof
From everyday maintenance to major repairs, TJ’s Auto Repair handles it all at our Burlington shop — no dealership markup, no runaround. Every card below links to a text message, so booking is one tap away.
Brake Repair & Replacement
Squealing, grinding, or a soft pedal are all signs your brakes need attention, and waiting too long can turn a simple fix into a bigger repair bill. At TJ’s Auto Repair, we inspect your entire brake system before we recommend anything, so you know exactly what’s worn and what can wait.
Suspension & Steering
If your ride feels rough, bounces after every bump, or pulls to one side, your suspension or steering components are likely due for attention. We repair and replace shocks, struts, control arms, and sway bar links so your vehicle handles the way it’s supposed to, especially after another hard pothole season.
Oil Changes & Fluid Services
Regular oil changes are the simplest way to protect your engine, and we make them fast and affordable without cutting corners. We check your fluid levels, filter, and overall engine condition at every visit, so small issues get caught before they become expensive ones. Whether you’re due for a routine change.
Exhaust Repair & Replacement
When your muffler, pipes, or catalytic converter are too rusted or damaged to repair, we’ll replace what’s needed to get your vehicle running quiet and passing inspection again. Vermont winters are hard on exhaust systems, road salt speeds up rust, so we see this a lot and know how to spot it early.
Tires & Tire Service
From flat repairs to full seasonal changeovers, we handle everything your tires need to keep you safely on the road through every Vermont season. That includes the winter tire swap almost every driver here needs, done right and done fast. We’ll help you pick the right tire for your vehicle, your budget, and how you actually drive
Engine Repair & Diagnostics
Whether it’s a rough idle, a strange noise, reduced power, or a check engine light that won’t go away, our technicians diagnose the real issue before recommending any repair. We handle everything from minor engine repairs to more involved diagnostic work, always with a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it’ll cost to fix.
Coolant Flushes
Old, contaminated coolant loses its ability to protect your engine from overheating in summer and freezing in winter. A coolant flush clears out old fluid and buildup, then refills your system with fresh coolant matched to your vehicle’s specs.
A/C Repair & Recharge
Warm air blowing when you need cold, or an A/C that’s stopped working altogether, usually points to a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or a worn component somewhere in the system. We diagnose the actual cause instead of just recharging your system.
Bodywork
From minor dents and scrapes to more significant collision damage, our bodywork gets your vehicle looking and functioning the way it should. We match paint, repair panels, and make sure everything underneath, not just the surface, is properly restored.
Insurance claims
Dealing with an insurance claim after an accident can be more stressful than the accident itself. We help you navigate the process from start to finish, working directly with your insurance company so you don’t have to sort out the details alone.
Sensor Replacements
Modern vehicles rely on dozens of sensors to run properly, and a single failed sensor can trigger a check engine light, rough running, or reduced fuel efficiency. We diagnose exactly which sensor is causing the issue using proper diagnostic equipment, not guesswork.
Windshield Wipers
Streaking, skipping, or squeaking wipers make it harder to see in Vermont’s rain, snow, and mixed weather, and worn blades are one of the easiest and most affordable fixes we offer. We stock wiper blades for most makes and models and can swap yours out quickly.

Real reviews from customers across Chittenden County.
EXCELLENT Based on 89 reviews Posted on Google Aubrey ChadwickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough good things about this auto shop. My low-income grandpa needed his struts replaced, he got the parts but he’s 73 yrs old and the summer heat is hard on him. and when times were tough, they stepped up and helped him without charging him a dime. That kind of kindness and generosity is something you don’t see every day. The owner is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. He genuinely cares about his customers and is not the kind of person to turn someone away when they truly need help. He goes above and beyond for people, especially those going through difficult times, and it’s clear that he values helping his community just as much as running a great business. The work was excellent, everyone was respectful and professional, and the compassion they showed our family is something we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for an honest, trustworthy auto shop with a big heart, I highly recommend them. Thank you for everything you did for my grandpa—we’ll always be grateful.Posted on Google Emi SosaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

NoPosted on Google Ismael JacquesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tire went flat. I stopped in to see if they could help. Let them know that I’m on a budget and looking to get it done quickly so I could get home. It has been a long day at work and I’m exhausted! My tire went flat as I was driving down the road and I saw their bay door was open. Even though they were past business hours, they greeted me enthusiastically and welcome to me inside. I explained my situation and they sold me a used tire and even put it on for a very fair price. Honestly, they could’ve taken advantage of me because my tire was flat in their lot, and no other shops were open. I had never been there before, but they treated me like I was family! Overall, I would say customer service… Price… And the ease of doing business was stellar! They really went above and beyond. I know I’ll be going back and I’ll be recommending everybody. I know to utilize their services from here forward! Thank you guys for helping me out!Posted on Google Mm ssTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
