About MyOldCherokee.com

MyOldCherokee.com was built out of frustration. The kind that comes from spending three hours digging through forum threads trying to figure out why a 1997 Cherokee won't start, only to find conflicting advice, dead links, and zero nearby shops that know what they're doing.

The goal is simple: organize the most useful troubleshooting knowledge, DIY resources, and local Cherokee-savvy shops into one clean, searchable directory so the next owner in that same situation gets help in minutes, not hours.

We launched with U.S. coverage and a long-term plan to expand internationally as the community grows. If you're an owner, a mechanic, or just someone who refuses to give up on a great vehicle welcome.

Independent resource for owners. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Jeep, Stellantis, or any parts manufacturer. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. Listings are user-submitted and reviewed, but we make no guarantees about individual shop quality.
