Owner-Operated Cottonwood Shop

About CJ Furtado & #1 Taz

A real shop, a real name, and a truck/trailer-only focus — no engine rebuilds, no vague promises, just a direct call with CJ.

The Shop

Truck and trailer repair, run by the person who answers the phone.

#1 Taz Truck & Trailer Repair is owner-operated by CJ Furtado out of a shop at 3161 Main St, Cottonwood, CA. The business lists USDOT #2808702, and CJ holds an active California Bureau of Automotive Repair license (#298760).

The service model stays intentionally narrow: truck and trailer repair — diagnostics, brakes, air systems, trailer wiring and lights, suspension, wheel seals, roadside triage, fleet maintenance, and tow-in coordination. #1 Taz does not perform engine rebuilds or internal engine repairs, and says so up front so calls match the actual scope of work.

Every call starts the same way: location, symptoms, and unit details, followed by a straight answer on whether the fix belongs at the roadside, at the Cottonwood shop, or on a tow-in path. No upsell script, no guessing games.

In the Shop

Real work, not stock photos.

Heavy-duty diesel repair happens at the bench and on the lift — here’s a look at the Cottonwood shop in action.

Who This Is For

Owner-operators, local fleets, and I-5 drivers.

CJ built #1 Taz around the calls that actually come in from the Redding area: a driver stuck on I-5 with a trailer brake problem, a local fleet chasing a recurring wiring fault, a contractor whose truck has to be back on the road by morning. The goal is a fast, honest answer — not a sales pitch.
