I know that all of you guys know places throughout the US of trustworthy places where you would take your coach in the event of a repair thats needed, and i'm not sure if there is an existing list, but if not, I think it would be very helpfull for all of you guys to chime in, and I can compile a printable spreadsheet based by state of some of these places, and maybe even make something that is editable and based online so that as you guys come up with more places you can add them.
Let me know your thoughts!

one of the best detroit guys around.
When you walk into his shop and can see yourself on the floor. You know he is the kind of guy that will take good care of your bus. He will tell you that the first thing he will do is steam clean it. dirt and mechanics work do not go together. Also his home phone is meant to be used if you have trouble. He looks after his customers.
I broke my coach in Penn. on sunday called david and he helped me find a repair person. and had a wrecker standing buy if needed to bring me home.

For Detroit Diesel 2 stroke speciality engine repair and rebuilding- Don Fairchild in Bakersfield, Ca. 661-391-4520
I know this thread is a few months old now, but I would like to add a shop that I had a really nice experience at recently right after buying my Eagle, when the Bennett shifter for the Allison 740 decided to act up.
These folks not only diagnosd and repaired the problem well, but charged me a VERY reasonable price for the work, which I relaly appreciated, as I have been out of work for several months now:
Baton Rouge Detroit Diesel & Allison service 225-275-9683 "Tyler" (for transmission work) and "Robert" (Overall shop service manager)
They are just a few minutes north of the interstate.

More RV related but some diesel places are listed. I suppose one could add more.

This is a good start on what I have been talking about. Then all that would have to be added would be star ratings from personal experience.
God bless,
John

Bennet bus works in McMinnville,Tn, no longer in buisness.
I've had great luck with the Bus Garage Index. Never had a bad deal with those listed.
But it is great to see others recommendations for shops they have visited.
