"The best shop in town hands down. Honest, efficient, and friendly. Spectacular team."

"Chance went above and beyond working past midnight to get our vehicle running again. He has always been a hard working man of integrity."

"Pappy tackle and the owner Chance are the absolute best!!! We have only good things to say and are so grateful for him and everything he's helped us with!!!! He is so kind, so hard-working and so trustworthy! Hard to find these days!!"

"Chance provided great customer service and product. Replaced leafsprings on my 2017 Frontier and drastically improved vehicle performance. Will be returning in the future and highly recommend especially for your 4x4 needs."

"They really helped us out in a pinch and squeezed us into their already busy schedule! Got us squared away for a great price, excellent service and easy to work with! Thank you!"

"Got two quotes..one from a Chevy dealership and one from pappytackle...turned out pappytackle was 100% correct and the dealership was wrong. Glad I went with pappytackle!!! FYI this actually happened"

"We had a really good experience with Pappytackle. Chance was communicative, honest, and truely cared about getting it right the first time. I highly recommend Pappytackle for all of your automotive needs!"

"Trustworthy and thorough! I took my lifted tundra here for the first time after getting some questionable work done at another 4 x 4 shop in Oak Harbor and they took the time to go through everything and get me all sorted out. Chance stayed til 9:30 at night to make sure I got my rig back same day. Highly recommend!!"

"I like to dabble in my own vehicle repairs, but I'm not a mechanic, so every now and then I need some help which led me to Pappytackle 4x4. Chance awesome! It's not just his fair prices. His patience, knowledge, and quality workmanship are exemplary. I am absolutely stoked I found these guys."

"Great little shop run by guys who actually get out and do the hobby. Happy to have a local place like this to bring my rig."

"So this was my first time coming to this shop. It was a really great experience. I will be coming back for more work in the future."

"Chance did a fantastic job doing custom fab work on my truck. The work quality is top notch with great attention to detail. He communicated timing clearly and called to check in and make sure all the work scope was covered. I will be going back for any future work on my truck!"

"Great communication and service from Pappytackle. Part of my truck exhaust rusted off, and after having a hard time finding a shop that would reattach the old rusted pipe, Chance was able to weld it back together and solve my problem for a very reasonable price. Definitely will return."

"Very accommodating, easy, and communicative."

"Excellent attention to detail and tremendous vehicle and product knowledge with a focus on safety and performance. Very fortunate to have this level of expertise in Bellingham."

"Very cool no pressure shop. They make you feel like they have known you for years. Honest, hardworking and very experienced. 10/10!!"

"Was very impressed with the knowledge and being straight forward with the process. Diagnosed the problem quick and had the solution. Plus I learned a few things. Definitely trustworthy shop!"

"Quick fast and quality service. I install was seamless."

"Everybody at PappyTackle are awesome! I take my personal vehicle here for any and all services, as well as all of my company's vehicles. My expectations for price, efficiency, and quality of the work are always exceeded. If you're looking for a new shop for all your auto needs, look no further. If you aren't looking for a new shop, you should - I guarantee they aren't as good as these guys."

"These guys are great! I was at my whits end with this car. They worked miracles (lol). My car had a terrible miss in it, as well a couple of dead cylinders and I had tried to figure out what was going on but was tired of throwing parts at it. Chance brought the car in and found the problem and replaced the bad part. This car runs great! No miss or stumble anymore. Gas mileage has gone back up. He saved me from ripping my hair out more. I highly recommend these guys. Their work was timely, the price was great and they were honest and didn't try to get me to do a bunch of other unnecessary work. I will definitely be coming back."

"The service was outstanding! Highly recommended. The only place I will go for service on my truck!"

"I recently had my suspension upgraded here after adding a truck camper to my Toyota Tundra and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Chance, the mechanic who handled the work, was extremely professional and clearly takes pride in what he does. The pricing was very fair, and I really appreciated the extra effort—he even stayed after closing hours to ensure the job was completed properly the same day. That level of dedication and customer service was very appreciated. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for quality workmanship and honest, reliable service."

"Had the day saved by Chance, the owner. Was stuck with a flat, not a fix for his shop - but Chance saw us and didn't hesitate to jump to the rescue. He took time out of his busy day, missed a meal, went to the store and shop to gather what he needed and never asked for anything in return to help us get back on our way. If this is the way he treats people has he never met before OUTSIDE his shop, I can say for sure you're in the best hands INSIDE the shop. I cannot thank you enough! Chance you're a good man!"

"Absolutely awesome shop. Chance went so far above and beyond trying to help me fix the problem with my F 150 4 wheel drive. After 4 other mechanics tried and failed, or replaced parts that weren't even bad he finally found the problem. He kept working on the problem untill it was solved and really did more than he had to make sure I was taken care of. I highly recommend this shop for your 4x4 needs. I definitely will be back if I have any future needs with my trucks. Thanks again!!!!"

"Pappytackle for the win. I've been on a roadtrip from Chicago in a lifted campervan (Transit 250 AWD). The company that built out the van for me installed the lift kit, but I've been having issues with a super annoying creaking sound coming from the rear suspension. I called, spoke with Chance, and he got me in to take a look at it right away. After a quick diagnosis, he scheduled me to come by for a fix a few days later. After digging in, he found that there was actually a problem with the leaf spring pack from the time if the initial install and was able to come up with a solution to address the problem with minimal time and cost. I'd recommend Pappytackle, and Chance, 100 times over. Great guys, honest service and super satisfied customer here."

"Great shop! I needed to upgrade shocks and springs for my Tacoma, Chance, the owner gave me options and suggestions to help me decide as well as to keep it on the inexpensive side. He ordered parts and did the work quickly and its like I have a new truck! Definitely going back if I need any other upgrade type of work."

"Chance and Teegan are great. Very knowledgeable and honest! Been recommending to all my friends and family!"

"When visiting Bellingham developed sensor issue on my Jeep Gladiator, local Jeep dealer service center was not helpful. Found Pappytackle 4x4, immediately upon meeting Chance, the owner, I knew I found someone who would find a solution. He did, he repaired the sensor (turned out to be common issue with Jeep differentials) and had me on my way in 48hrs at a very reasonable rate. Highly recommend Pappytackle for all vehicle repairs, but especially if your running a 4x4 modified rig. Great service, great crew, fair prices. I was lucky to find them while traveling."

"It's a pleasure to support a young business that has such excellent service. We enlisted them in lifting a 2020 Toyota Tacoma with King shocks. Grill modifications. Muffler installation. And a few ancillary items."

"I drive all the way from Lynnwood for these guys to work on my car. They do a great job"

"Chance really saved me. I'm a union pipefitter from out of town and needed some work done on my suspension quickly. They got me in quickly and explained everything I needed and showed me why I was having problems. I highly recommend them if you're needing any suspension work done on your vehicle."

"My old truck was treated as well as all his big customers with installing lift kits, aftermarket parts, custom builds, and repairing 4x4 suspensions. They do all that yet take care of my little problem completely, efficiently, courteous, and at an affordable cost. I had to come a long distance so they opened on Saturday for me.i was referred by a car dealership. So glad they did. Excellent find!"

"Chance was super helpful. Took in a heavily modified rig and he completed the work I needed quickly and for a great price. Would recommend to all."

"Straight shooters!"

"Wow! In definitely coming here again. I had a little cat emergency and chance fixed it right up. He went above and beyond in my car repair and I'm coming back! Awesome work that he did."

"I've been using Pappy Tackle for about a 6 Months now because their shop is right down the street from me. I'm always hesitant to try new mechanics but I have to say Chance and Teegan are very Talented, I have complete trust in their work and wouldn't hesitate to throw any job at them. It's hard to find good quality and honest mechanics for a fair price these days. These are good guys you can trust. 5 star all day!"

Chance went above and beyond to ensure I got exactly what I needed and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

If you're looking for exceptional customer service and expertise, I highly recommend Chance and the team at Pappy Tackle Auto. I'll definitely be returning in the future!"

"Great service, great price"

"I can't recommend Pappytackle enough! The team is honest, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. They take the time to explain the issue in detail and never try to upsell unnecessary services. On numerous occasions they actually talked me out of wasting money on unnecessary upgrades. It's rare to find a mechanic shop where you feel completely confident that you're in good hands, but Pappytackle delivers that."
