    I am tired going to repair shops where they are just trying to sell you unneeded parts in order to pump up your repair bill. I am willing to travel to get a quality work done on my truck. Please recommend good repair shops near to West Coast. I can travel to any state if shop has well deserved reputation.

    So far we have had good results at French Camp Truck Center in CA... We live 3 miles away from Sacramento Truck Center and drive the 65 miles instead.... Needless to say, stay away from Sacramento Truck Center!! Other good ones we have found are in Tolleson, AZ and Ringgold, GA.

    Been off west coast to long have two shops here in central nc. One charges 65.per hour other 40.per hour if you pay cash. Both small shops. You really need to talk to o/o in you're area make good contacts.if you want to travel to east coast for repair work I can hook you up.can tell you work is top notch, but you will be on some one else's time to get work done.

    Not west coast but you did ask about anywhere.

    Clearwater Truck Center in Clearwater MN is excellent for general repairs.

    I've been pleasantly surprised by Freightliner. Fargo ND.

    Cullen Detroit Diesel Surrey BC is nothing short of awesome. They actually know how to diagnose problems and not just throw parts at them hoping they're right.

    There is not shop reliable enough, therefore big companies always buy brand new and when warranty ends - they sell and get the new models.

    I still have a hard time finding a competent shop to do warranty work.
