Davis Diesel - Anyone see where we're going?

They may cost a bit more but they are an incredible shop. I brought my RAM 3500 here for quite a…read morefew necessary repairs including a significant leak in my crank case. They pulled everything apart and put it back together and my truck has never run so smooth. I also had the fan clutch and fan replaced during that because it was significantly cracked and failing. The work was done in a very reasonable amount of time. They even called to ensure I was happy with everything and it was all going well. The OEM fan clutch failed within a few months (usual for RAM) and they would have replaced it there no problem but I travel for work and am in MO. They had great communication with the mechanics here to make sure I got the warranty covered on the part. The only reason I deducted a star was because my air condition is running a bit warmer and takes longer to cool my truck than when I brought it in. I didn't know for a long time because I had brought my truck in for the work in Fall and didn't use the AC until the next Spring/Summer.

This shop charges extremely high prices. My husband is a diesel technician and is very familiar…read morewith standard parts and labor costs. We were initially quoted $1,600 for transmission rebuild parts for a Ram truck, but later received a work order showing $13,000 for parts and $7,000 for labor. In addition, we were charged $1,441 for diagnostics. These charges are far above industry standards based on our firsthand knowledge. While my husband has the experience to do the work himself, he doesn't have the time due to his full-time job, which is why we brought it in.

Great group of guys here!…read more The team here really helped me out and did an excellent job on my 2007 Highlander-fitting me in on short notice and doing an entire front and back brake job with calipers and the whole works. I was 5 days out from leaving liberal Livingston, Montana on a quest to find a town where authenticity and God's presence is present, and my breaks started to squeak, so I went to all service tire in Livingston to get everything checked out and balance and rotation for the road trip and they said I needed breaks all around, and I decided if I was going to be stuck somewhere there's no better place than Sandpoint/Ponderay as I passed through twice before and remember how humble and nice everyone was there. I called around not thinking anyone would have any availability, calling Six Star auto first, and the gentleman had a few recommendations, before circling back to Compass Auto Repair - he said, "definitely try Compass first," so I called Compass thinking it was a long shot, and explained the big job in store on short notice, and the gent answering said they happened to just have a cancellation and that he could possibly do it IF I could make it there by 7 a.m. in two days and if they had the parts - super appreciative that there was even a window of possibility, I said I will 100% be there Thursday at 7 a.m. with the caveat I totally understand if they couldn't do it one short notice (I just had a feeling they would make it work). I also called right before they closed and could tell he had put in a long day of service to keep people and their families safe on the road, but he graciously was patient with my complete lack of knowledge on the extent of what the problem might be, and put me in the schedule for 7 a.m. Thursday. I showed up at the appointed time and asked how long it might take just out of curiosity and they said probably would be done by early afternoon, if not sooner. Within 30 minutes I got a comprehensive quote via text explaining thoroughly everything that needed to be done, and it matched exactly what "all service tire" in Livingston said (great folks there too btw). The text was really cool, because it was so quick (these guys don't mess around,) and I approved it immediately - so grateful they were able to fit me in and do the comprehensive diagnosis so quickly. I even called to check to make sure and they were gracious explaining everything. I assumed I'd be wandering around in the hot Sandpoint heat for the next 6-8 hours, but within 4 hours or so I got a text saying it was ready to go (what!?) I imagined what a well oiled operation it was, and had the image of one expert doing one thing, while another was working on another part. The price was exactly as quoted, and even a 3% discount for paying cash! God Bless these men for their dedication, hard work, service, and very fair price for fitting me even on short notice and keeping everyone else safe on the road too. When I went to pay I saw they were booked for weeks, so I was feeling so blessed for them getting in and also the peace of mind that I could travel through the rugged, often steep, pothole covered National Forest roads (I'm too cheap to pay for camping and I like the solitude anyway) without any worry. Quite a few times going down some steep, winding roads I gave thanks and blessings for what they did on short notice and what a good job they did. You will probably want to book more ahead of time then I did. One last thing I almost forgot is they sent me a text a week into my trip making sure the job was satisfactory - who goes the extra mile like that nowadays? These guys do!

We brought our RV to Compass Mechanical Repair in Ponderay with clear instructions about what…read moreneeded repair: an identified exhaust leak, leaking airbag fittings, a front suspension noise, and a general inspection. We explained that the exhaust leak location was already known and easily accessible, and that the airbags simply needed new fittings. These instructions were written clearly on the invoice they provided Instead of performing the repairs, the shop initially billed us over $1,200 just for diagnostics on the issues we had already described. This included $340 to diagnose the exhaust leak, $340 for the airbag fittings, and another $340 to look into the suspension noise (without finding the cause) and $170 for one hour of labor we asked for to check the van for any other issues. They also charged $160 in shop supplies, which we were told is billed as a flat percentage, not itemized. When we asked about the charges, we were told the shop always performs its own diagnostics as policy. They also said "it is industry standard". In our 11 years of full-time RV travel, we've never encountered that approach or been billed in this way. After discussion, they reduced the total to $750, but no repairs were completed. Their brake quote was also about $500 higher than Les Schwab's. Overall, we were very disappointed in the billing process and communication. Based on our experience, we will definitely not return
