Traveling out of town… called 15+ shops within a 30 mile radius, everyone was at a minimum Of 2 weeks out!

Small town customer service at its very best! ❤️

Sara Taylor

Our RoadTrek suddenly stopped running while we were on a road trip. Jason and Chris managed to squeeze us into their completely packed schedule within a couple of days and quickly fixed the problem. They were very pleasant to work with, seemed very competent and knowledgeable. They run a clean shop. And the work was reasonably priced. If we lived closer, they’d be our regular mechanic. (If we ever break down in Rathdrum again, we’ll be back! 😅)

Chris was amazing! We needed a new fuel pump and didn’t have the tools to replace it while on vacation. He was able to help us out and squeeze us in to his shop. The previous owner had replacd the filter before but put it back in the vehicle a very strange and not so sound way, Chris was also able to help us get this put back together properly with our family’s safety in mind even tho it turned a 20 minute job into an hour or so…within the day we had our truck back and she runs amazing!

Chris and the team here are FANTASTIC! I called on a Monday for a code for cylinder #4 injector control circuit. Being from Canada (about 3000 miles from here!) I was trying to get home and Chris was honest, said he would try to look at it on Monday or Tuesday and had an idea of what the problem was already and if it ended up being a bigger problem Friday was the best he could do. He said he was booked but would definitely try to look at it and get me fixed as quick as he could. Well Tuesday … Read More

They’ve been my go-to mechanic for about 3 years now. Chris and Jason’s expertise and steadfast customer service are unmatched. By far the best shop I’ve ever come across. Fair and honest. Chris and Jason take the time to explain your options as well as quality vs. price impact. They’ve earned my trust and I send all of my family here and will continue to do so for years to come. Thanks guys!

My rv gas generator started giving me trouble starting, per a google search it might have been low oil and since the oil needed changing anyway, i have had a devil of a time getting ANYONE to change the oil, so I am thrilled that they could change it and at quite a reasonable price 😁. I was able to get into the parking lot and Jason changed my oil. I’m still having the same problem I had BEFORE I came in and they have been very helpful in trying to find out what’s wrong. When I leav… Read More
