Industrial maintenance backed by experience—not just handyman fixes

I’m TJ Oistad, founder of DRI – Diagnose, Repair, Improve. I’ve dedicated my career to tackling tough challenges in mechanical, electrical, and automation systems. With experience in fluid power and a drive for innovation, I focus on diagnosing problems, repairing equipment, and finding smarter ways to keep operations running smoothly.

​

I don’t believe in quick fixes. Each project is an opportunity to strengthen systems, boost efficiency, and deliver lasting value. Whether troubleshooting complex machinery, improving workflows, or creating new solutions, I bring curiosity and practical thinking to every job.

​

I started DRI to provide businesses of all sizes with reliable expertise and continuous improvement. From small shops to large plants, I work with teams looking for more than repairs—they want a partner who helps future-proof their operations.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me in the garage tinkering, rock climbing, homebrewing beer on my custom made brewhouse, or curling
