  We needed some maintenance on our Class A Diesel Pusher while we were in Carlsbad, NM. The Mechanic was recommended to us by the campground. We called Sam and discussed what we needed. He came out the next day and performed an oil change on my Cummings Diesel engine and Onan Generator including fuel filters and water separator, along with a chassis lube. He completed the work quickly, easily, and professionally. The price was more than fair and Sam was great to work with. I highly recommend Sam The Mechanic for any mechanical work. We would surely use him again.

  Called Sam to do oil change and maintenance on the generator in our Motorhome while we were staying at an RV park in Carlsbad. He came out to our site and performed the work we requested within the next couple of days after we called. Everything was left very clean and cost was extremely reasonable. Would definitely use him again.

  As promised, I returned to this mechanic. My coolant was still leaking and he was more than willing to diagnose and repair the problem. I was asked to review him each visit. So, it is with regret that I am posting this review which is going to be a little lengthy. I live in my car and am disabled and poor. When he beat the price on fixing my struts, I spent the last six weeks in this town grinding by way of door dash to save the money. Then a blinker goes out. I called him to see if he would fix my blinker. He scoffed at me. I took it in stride, made an appointment for a few days later. I showed, he was less than friendly towards me. He pulled the light out and told me what part I needed and to run to the part store to get it and that if they didn’t have it, to call him and he would go ahead and get the struts ordered as well as the part I needed which was the connector. I did as instructed. I called him when neither part store had the connector. He asks if they could order it. I told him I didn’t know that I was just doing what he asked. He snapped back “let me call you back later.” Now I know I am poor. And I know it took me a long time to save up the money but I did not expect to be treated that way. Nonetheless, I waited around because he left my bulb disconnected and made my turn signal situation worse. I at least, had a light before he disconnected it. The next morning, still no phone call so, I went to YouTube, learned how to fix a blinker, went to dodge, bought the part and fixed my own damn blinker by myself. My coolant is still leaking so that’s not completely resolved yet. We are four days later now and no return call. I am a firm believer of keeping the money where it’s earned however it seems that won’t be happening in this case. It wasn’t until today that I realized my previous review of him was not acknowledged by him like the others. Sam, the mechanic, is a nice guy and knows his stuff but has left me no choice but to move my less than and financially poor self forward. Go to him or don’t. I won’t. I don’t need a mechanic to scoff at me and I certainly don’t need his less than professional attitude as if I deserved to be snapped at the way he did. Hey Sam! Next time, don’t waist my time. Just say you don’t want the work. And if you can’t afford repairs from the jump, save yourself the humiliation.
