Carefree RV & Auto Repair

All three of the previous reviews were five stars, I WISH I could find a reason to give LESS than five stars, but I can’t! They were as good as the previous reviews say! I took my RV here because my «check engine» light had come on. I have a FORD engine. They were able to diagnose it, fix the issue, and take care of some other small issue I had. And, they priced reasonable (which means, they didn’t use some «canned» program with «Canned» charges…) If you are in the Tri-​Cities and need engine work on your RV (or any «exterior» type work) you can come here!
When you drive on Clearwater, you will see their sign, but not see their building. Their building is behind some other business. I missed it the first time and had to go around the block. You can turn into the side street and park there, and let them drive your RV into their repair area.
One of the employees was female and she knew her stuff. I was impressed!

I was told by several knowledgeable people in the automotive business that he was one of the best diesel guys in town. I had damaged injectors due to some bad fuel at my last fill up. He was able to tell me what the problem was immediately. His analyzer showed 4 injectors were failing. After the repair was done, the truck started doing the same thing again 48 hours later. The other 4 injectors had failed. He got it fixed within 24 hours and truck has run well. I thought his advice was very good.
He laid out all my options, choices and the pros and cons of each. He also recommended products to keep the truck from having the same problems again. I felt complete confidence in the information he provided. Not always the case at an auto repair place. He is busy and it may take a week to get in, but you will get an honest evaluation and good quality work.
I recently got a quote on my EGR valve which had just failed. I called Jeff and I also called the local Ford dealer. Now the EGR valve is very accessible and easy to remove, just two bolts hold it in. The same work quoted at the Ford dealer was almost double his bid. The Ford dealer said they would flush the system for an extra $ 300. So if you don’t want to get «flushed» by the Ford dealer give Jeff a call.

Great service. Friendly folks. We’ll be back for sure and will tell our other RV friends about Carefree too. Sandy and Jeff… thanks for getting our rig fixed and getting us back out on the road again in such a short time!

I have been trying to get my spark plugs changed on my 2007 Ford F-​150 for over a year. Everywhere I have called for quotes quoted me at 800−1500…if there are no problems. I was refered to Carefree by another honest auto shop I called them and they quoted me around 200 bucks. I was amazed. There are issues with changing the plugs in my truck so I made an appointment. When I got there they treated me like a friend, and they showed me the issues with my truck, bought special tools in advance of my appointment. Took their time and did they job right the first time. I would refer these guys to anyone with any type of car. They are not going to overcharge you or be careless with your automobile. The mechanic Jeff is very experienced with all types of cars especially Fords. Just a great local mechanic that isn’t working for any suits in a corporate office, he seems to love his work. I just can’t say enough! If you take your car here, you won’t be disapointed!
