| Arizona | Coolidge | Tire Factory 2311 S 5th St Coolidge, AZ 85128 Phone: 520-723-7840 |
SWharton | We broke down near Eloy, AZ and the ERS service sent 2 tow trucks. One for the truck and one for the trailer, why, we have no idea. The tow company was Hughes Towing from Coolidge, AZ. These guys were great. The ERS service had found us a CG nearby for the trailer (for some reason would not tow truck and trailer) and the truck was to be towed to Phoenix (ERS couldn't’t find a place to repair truck nearby!!).
We all went to the CG and it was a dump. Tow truck operator recommend Indies Sky in Coolidge and Tire Factory to repair the truck. Both were outstanding choices. Tire Factory took the truck, giving us precedence since we were towed in. Drove me to the CG, had the truck fixed in a couple of hours, picked me up again. I would highly recommend Hughes Towing, Indies Sky Resort and Truck Factory, all in Coolidge, AZ. |

Ron and Sharon (Ron) | Ron said he was very satisfied with their service even though their hourly rate was a little on the high side "$102 per hour" but that they seem to get trucks in and out quite fast.
Kent & Jan also used their services and stated that Gary was easy to deal with. Gary is aware of Full Timer's using HDT's to pull their 5er's. He was helpful and went out of his way to make sure I was treated fairly plus he looked up warranty and service bulletins and took care of them quickly and efficiently. Gary also took care of me as fast as he did the commercial truckers who were on the clock and in a hurry to get back on the road. |
| Arizona | Phoenix | Deer Valley Diesel 21426 North 14th Avenue - Phoenix, AZ Phone: 623-780-2728 |
SWharton (Sue) | Sue Great service, 24/7 the phone is answered. We called on a Sunday and a tow truck was sent out. He was there in 45 minutes, backed out 5th wheel into our CG space and took the truck to Deer Valley. This is the second time we have used Deer Valley. Several years ago we were towed in, on the Friday of a holiday weekend. They fixed us up and had us on the road the same day. I would highly recommend them. Rick Cortez is the manager/owner. Everyone was very helpful |
| Arizona | Tucson |
Silver Eagle Truck & Trailer Repair |
Kathy & Jim (Jim) | Jim I felt I received excellent service at Silver. I had a full page list of repairs and things I wanted checked out. In two days they did what another shop said would take a week. They communicated clearly, providing their reasoning for replacing some parts I did not know I needed as well as why I did not need to replace some that I thought I -did, which saved me money. Their shop rate was $89/hr., which is about 2/3 the other place I called (W.W. Williams). It was obvious they took great pride in work. Owner (Steven) was previously an OTR trucker.
Shop manager is apparently well experienced in Detroit repairs. (Owner also buys wrecks with Detroits to sell the engines). They said that because I might have valuables in the drom box and bed storage areas, they made sure to park it inside the shop overnight. I would come back for service without hesitation. |

Brad & Jacolyn (Brad) | Brad said:They diagnosed and corrected my hard starting and white smoke problem. I will admit that they were a bit slow on the work but they did a good job and even steam cleaned the engine when they were done. When I picked up the truck the mechanic that did the work came out and explained what they found and what was actually causing each problem. |

We broke a spring just west of Dodge on Saturday. I called and left a message stating what I needed on Sat. Monday when I called to confirm if they could take care of me they said" I thought that was you sitting in our drive". Anyway they replaced two springs and had me on the road by 2:30pm.Great people to deal with and fair prices. |
| Kansas | Hutchinson | Runyan's Diesel Service 215 West Avenue G - Hutchinson, KS - 67501 Phone: 620-694-9680 |
4Girls&aMan (Robert) | Robert said: As many of you know we had a little air problem while at the Rally. After lots of help, advice and tool loans, especially from Rick and Rod, we determined that a new compressor was needed. So I punted.... Mike Runyan of Runyan Diesel Service in Hutchinson was recommended by Louie's (whom several on here have used). Mike came out on Friday morning and verified that it was indeed the compressor that needed to be replaced. The new compressor was ordered from Wichita Freightliner and delivered Friday afternoon to Mike. He came over to the campground Saturday morning and in 3 hours (billed time) swapped out the old compressor for the new one. He did a great job for us and did not charge extra for doing the job at the campground. We're very pleased with what he did for us. If we need a mechanic in Hutch again, I'll definitely call him first. |

| Mississippi | Meridian | Mack Herrington Truck Service, Inc. 27 3rd Ave South Meridian, MS 39301 Phone: 601-483-4470 |
SWharton (Sue) | Our truck had the hiccups. While in Meridian, MS we found a contact in the HHRG and asked the CG owner, he suggested Mack. Mack is great, don't go there with your trailer, he is a small shop. We pulled up, he took us right away, put us on the computer, didn't find anything wrong. Switched the fuel filter, took the truck for a test drive, still had hiccups. Decided it was probably a solenoid wire. We had an oil leak a few days before (from a connection) this leak dripped oil onto the High Pressure Oil Regulator. He replace that and all is now well. His charge was very good, in the neighborhood of $65/hour. |

| Tennessee | Crossville | J&K Truck Repair, Inc. 109 Tabor Dr (Exit 320 - I40), Crossville, TN - 38555 Phone: 800-328-5535 |
RickW (Rick) | Rick says had a fan belt failure. Don't have a replacement and the fan belt only works the fan. Since I am bobtail and it is fairly flat back to Crossville, no reason not to head back. Fan is only going to engage under load.
The exit before the campground is a Petrol. Figure there is most likely a truck repair place close by. Sure enough there are two shops. Pull in to the first one, J&K. Walking in the front door I can see a large, well stocked parts room. COOL! I ask if they have the belt, SCORE! $50. They ask if I want to just purchase the belt or if I want them to put it on too. Shop rate is $75/hr so I ask how long until they can get to it. I am told 2 minutes. DO IT! Pull the truck in and we quickly discover that the broken belt is not the problem but the result of the idler pulley that is now frozen. New idler is around $250 plus another hour labor. Not in stock but NAPA does have it and it is on its way over. 1 1/2 hours after pulling in to the lot, truck fixed and ready to roll. $550 poorer but truck is repaired and all while I waited! And no busted knuckles for me ..... The prospect ridding with me could not believe it. Not only did I just pull in and they have 1 or the 2 needed parts but 90 minutes latter we are fixed and going. I explained that a driver who is working is willing to wait a few days for a dealership to get around to it and the driver only makes money if the wheels are turning. So quick turn arounds on OTR trucks is normal or the driver will move on to the next repair shop. So if looking for truck repair in Crossville, TN I recommend |

| Texas | Mission | Texan Repair Service 6336 Texan Road - Mission, TX Phone: 956-585-8588 Ask to speak to the owner, Noe Gonzales |
rverdlm (Dave) | The roads that run East, West are named for the distance they are from business 83 or the RR tracks. The North South roads have names. This shop is located at the NE side of the intersection of 5 mile Rd and Texan Road.
For all you HDTers that are now in the Valley I want to let you know about a very good service facility. I've had my normal service done there and I just took the truck to them because the air quit working. It turned out that it was just out of Freon. I had no idea what was wrong and they could have jerked me around. Instead they filled it, checked for leaks and when they couldn't find any they asked if they could keep the truck for a few days to see if it leaked down. It didn't and I got the truck back today. A/C works great! The charge for evacuating the A/C, filling with Freon, checking everything out and doing a lube job was $105. I'm very impressed with this shop. It's clean, the mechanics are all clean and seem to know what they are doing. Oh, one more thing, while they had the truck they kept it in the shop so there was never any worry about the truck being ram sacked or broken into. |
