I had a propane leak on my Class B Roadtrek that I couldn't locate. Chad came highly recommended to me by friends in the RV community. He located the leak up behind the trailer hitch in a protective box. It seemed an impossible repair but Chad reassured me that it could be fixed. He gave me a price and had it completed that day with a test of the entire propane system. I was very impressed but where Chad showed his true professionalism was a few days later. I smelled propane and Chad had me back right away and quickly had it fixed. He stands behind his work. I've been looking for a place I could trust for repairs and maintenance. Chad is a wealth of knowledge and skills. He also knows and will recommend the best local Shops for things he doesn't do. I'm in agreement with fellow RVer's, Desert Sport is 5 Star. read more

I called Chad regarding no power to our RV oven. Over the phone he walked me through some steps to see if the electrical outlet was working. I discovered the oven plug was loose in the outlet. The moment I repositioned it properly, the oven light came back on! He saved me the cost of diagnosis and evaluation by taking the time over the phone to check on some basics. Chad was very clear, helpful, and friendly and I appreciate him going the extra mile in solving my problem. It's refreshing to find someone willing to take the time to problem solve over the phone. read more

This place is legit and Chad was an absolute pleasure to work with as he seems to really enjoy what he is doing. I took my old 1992 Landyacht motorhome to him for a front to back and inside out walk-thru looking for potential issues and fix a few I knew of. He kept me informed the whole time and gave me plenty of options/advice for things he found. I was very happy with the work done and the price he did it for. read more

These guys are awesome. We bought a new Casita about 6 months ago and one thing we had not counted on was having to have any repairs done for a long time. The manufacturer is in Texas with no service centers anywhere near us. I found Desert Sport RV on Yelp and based on the reviews took our rig there. Chad located our plumbing leak and also figured out what was wrong with our super touchy water pump! He fixed everything while we waited, was very nice, professional and knowledgeable. He is our go-to guy from now on! read more

Chad was recommended by our son, who had used him for a trailer repair. We had a "phantom" electrical draw on our batteries, so they did not stay completely charged even when the trailer was plugged into "shore" power. Richard's in Lancaster, where we bought the trailer, indicated that it was most likely our new batteries. They seemed uninterested in considering any other possibility. My husband's testing and logic indicated that was not the case. Chad tested everything, starting with the batteries, explaining everything as he went along. It turned out it WAS the converter, or part of it. Chad had the correct part, installed it, and in a couple of hours we were on our way. No more problems, everything is working like a charm. Even though we live 4 hours from Vista, if we have a problem in the future, Chad will be our guy. Thank you Chad read more

We were in Oceanside on Vacation in our motorhome. We discovered a leak in a waterline and immediately started calling RV Repair places. No one was available to immediately help us. Someone suggested calling Chad at Desert Sports. Chad also couldn't do any repairs immediately, but suggested I bring in the motorhome and he will check it out. If it didn't take too long to repair, he would fix it. It turned out that he leak was minor and Chad fixed it immediately. NOW THAT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Chad! He is AMAZING! He assisted me with so many questions I had prior to buying a trailer. I called several times and he even helped me while on vacation. Where the dealership fell short Chad went above and beyond. He was kind enough to make a house call to do an inspection to ensure my trailer was ok for use and safe for my family. He provided lots of great input and ideas as well as a list of items we should take back for warranty issues. I truly cannot express how much this man went above and beyond for us. He is a kind, honest business person who only wants the best for his customers. Extremely trustworthy and wonderful to work with. I am not surprised to see 5 stars on here already.

I am new to RVing and like to learn as much as I can and he always takes the time to explain the systems to me no matter how busy he is. So far he's installed my PrecisionTemp on demand water heater and fixed a variety of electrical issues. He's also been able to find budget solutions for my RV's problems when I wasn't able to afford a 'true' fix. I've learned and benefited so much! Glad to know him! read more

Tim was out to our house the very next day, on time and with a small back up crew. Within an hour or so, he had our problem solved - turned out to be a failed circuit board and we were lucky that he had one available and on site, ready to switch out. Prior to the repairs he explained to me what was going on, what he was testing and what might need to be done. After they swapped out the circuit board, he showed me what he did, demonstrated the proper way to use a slide-out with a glitch in it, showed us the part he swapped out. He also did a complimentary roof inspection and told us that we could call him anytime, day or night, home or camping spot, and he would come out if we needed another repair down the road. Our payment went through Venmo and his prices are EXTREMELY reasonable, especially because of the quick turnaround. Then (yes, there is more) he sent us some instructional videos that we could use down the road. What impressed me the most was his friendliness, his courtesy and his kindness. The same goes for his staff, Ivan and... (forgive me... missed his name even though he told me but I blabbered away and forgot, didn't want to look inattentive by asking for it again. Was it... Vince?) But I can tell you, they were friendly and outgoing, which also speaks volumes for the company they work for. In today's climate where you ask for a quote and you never hear back, you leave a voice mail and you never hear back, or you finally hear back and the next available spot is 2 weeks away, having Tim and his crew come out the very next day reminded me of what actual customer service is.

Before approving the work, I specifically asked in writing whether the parts being used were Nissan OEM or aftermarket. I received a direct response stating: "These are OEM parts." Based on that written confirmation, I agreed to move forward with the repair and payment. After the work was completed, I began experiencing serious issues with my vehicle, including stalling to the point where it was no longer safely drivable. Due to these failures, I had to take my vehicle to Nissan for further inspection. During that inspection, it became clear that the radiator installed was not OEM. Nissan also confirmed that OEM radiators would not present the way this one did, including the absence of proper identification. In addition, the coolant/transmission lines had been modified using generic hoses and clamps--something that would not be necessary with an OEM radiator, which is designed to use factory quick-connect fittings. These findings directly contradict what was promised to me in writing prior to the repair. As a direct result of the improper parts and installation, my vehicle sustained significant damage totaling over $15,000 and became unreliable and unsafe to drive, requiring additional time, expense, and inconvenience to address. When I attempted to resolve the situation, I requested receipts and documentation showing where the parts were purchased. These were not provided. In California, automotive repair providers are required to provide documentation and itemization of parts upon request, including itemized invoices and parts information, yet Kevin failed to do so. Instead, I was told that I was a "nightmare" customer and that I was "giving him a headache." He also attempted to shift blame by suggesting the damage must have been caused by a collision or another shop, despite the timeline and circumstances clearly tied to his work. Since then, my attempts to follow up have been ignored. At no point was I informed of any substitution, nor was I given the opportunity to approve the use of non-OEM parts. The use of OEM components was a key factor in my decision to proceed. When a mechanic diagnoses a repair, recommends replacement, and explicitly confirms OEM parts in writing, there is a clear expectation that those terms will be honored. That did not happen here. I strongly recommend that anyone considering working with Kevin at Carlsbad Mobile Mechanic verify all parts being installed, request documentation, and thoroughly inspect the work before accepting completion.

My initial phone call was answered by office manager Daniela, who listened intently to my questions, and quickly put me at ease. Following the call, she worked closely with the firm's founder and technical maestro David - who reached out to discuss technical aspects and options, and soon we had a detailed and easily understood proposal in hand to add a pair of 200 Watt rigid solar panels to our RV roof, as well as all the subsystems necessary to make them fully operational and beneficial to our anticipated needs. The day of our appointment, we met the rest of the team, including David's son Zack, who runs the day-to-day operations of the business, providing hands-on leadership to a small crew of installers, to assure everything is up to his family standards. As Zack later said: "I treat every RV as if it was my own". With several restaurants, a multi-plex theater and brewpub a short distance away, I planned on spending a few hours nearby as the work was performed, and was pleasantly surprised to receive an early call that the work was not only complete, but that my cost would be less than half of the estimate. On further inspection and research during the installation, Zack determined my existing control hardware and other systems would be able to easily handle the new panels, and there was no need to install the hundreds of dollars of additional new equipment they had understandably ordered and prepared for the install. Though Zack could have easily installed that new equipment for an extra profit, and explained it away to a know-nothing like me, he didn't - - and that means one hell of a lot. Zack, David, Daniela and the team at Infinite RV & Marine have our utmost respect and admiration. We could not be happier with the work they performed. When it comes time to expertly install complex solar and other specialized electrical systems in an RV, they will most certainly be the first ones we turn to.

I asked are you replacing the whole power center box or just the converter section? He told me the whole box. I asked if it was new and he said yes. Good technicians and real electricians can explain things to you and be transparent because they have nothing to hide. I paid $500 for my own used parts to be used again from my old unit and before I even had the chance to call the owner out on it (who seems to be in on the fraud, he was waiting in the car the entire time), he blocked me. I hired this company to replace the converter in my trailer after water entered through the vent and the unit began smoking and making a whining noise. I was charged $100 for a diagnosis, but Oscar immediately replaced the entire power center box without explaining what was actually being replaced. When I asked Oscar if the converter and other components would be new, I was told it would be a "new box." However, after the installation my lights began flickering and within minutes most of the interior lights stopped working (only the kitchen light remained on). All lights were functioning before the installation. When I contacted the technician, he said the job was complete and that I only hired him to replace the converter, not troubleshoot the lights. This was confusing because he had already replaced the entire unit instead of just the converter module. I later had another technician inspect the system and was told that several parts were not new. The converter appears to be refurbished, my old fuses were reused, and the circuit board also looks old and dusty. I was also charged for three breakers that appear to be the same ones that were already in the unit. Oscar did refund $100 after I raised concerns, but the electrical system is still not functioning properly and I will have to pay another technician to fix it. I recommend asking very detailed questions about what parts are actually being replaced (converter module vs full power center) and whether the components are new, refurbished, or reused before agreeing to the repair. I also found an entire unit for $179 that includes fuse box, fuses, converter module, and breakers online. I feel scammed and disappointed. I was going to keep this private but after inspecting the parts, it really is not fair and misleading he used my own old parts while presenting as new and then put me in a situation where I would have to pay more to fix the fuses, diagnose again, and "trouble shoot lights" when that was already part of the original problem. I was also told by the new tech that wires were taped. Not professional work at all. I feel bad leaving a bad review but they marked up the price on all of these components and intentionally misled me. He also didn't give me a door for the unit so it is exposed. He intentionally misled me which is the same as scamming someone. Do not trust their 5 star reviews.

It was time for our 2000 Tacoma for a facelift. We gave Shawn our budget and he worked magic for…read moreus. First, he delivered on a showroom quality paint job! He went above and beyond when he completely replaced our hood, front bumper, hooked us up with a windshield replacement guy, coordinated window tinting, threw in new door handles, covered rust, replaced the existing antennae, and popped out numerous dents. I cannot speak highly enough of how easy Shawn made the entire process so easy for us. He communicated quickly and finished a week ahead of schedule. When we went to pick it up, it was completely detailed and pristine. We are still in awe. It feels like we have a brand new truck. This is the place to go in Oceanside!

Now I know exactly why Shawn and his team have earned them. A few other shops tried to take advantage of my wife when she called around for quotes -- Shawn was straightforward, fair, and reasonably priced from the start. He had the car back to us in just three days with a new fender and a paint match that looks completely factory fresh. You genuinely can't tell anything ever happened. Easy to work with, honest, fast, and the results speak for themselves. If you're in Oceanside and need body work done right, don't bother shopping around -- just call Shawn. Can't recommend him enough.

At age 25, she has a great future ahead of her. I will return to TJ for every repair I may need in the future. Previous to using TJ Crossman's, I gave my business to two other auto repair shops in the N. Melrose auto park area. I will not embarrass them by using their names. However, one was overpriced, and the other one was rude and dismissive. Senior ladies like me deserve a company's respect and cordial treatment. I received these abundantly at TJ Crossman's today!

I was supposed to get it back the same say but eventually had to wait 1.5 day for a master cylinder replacement and a brake fluid bleed (had to call twice to get updates as to why the truck wasn't ready on Thursday) for a total of $350 +parts I purchased online (I could have done it myself but wanted a warranty on a brake job). I asked them to verify the steering fluid but didn't get any feedback about it. Generally speaking, I feel this shop is very professional. Please understand they go "by the book". Period. Would I go back? not sure at all. Plenty of options in Vista where you can discuss, negotiate and still get equivalent service in my opinion.

We had a problem with fumes from the water heater of our camper. I called Desert Sport RV to make an appointment to have them look at it. Chad answered the phone, told me he was busy with 3 other customers, and he would call me back as soon as he could. Within 5 minutes he called back. He asked me to describe exactly the symptoms of the problem, and then told me "If you bring it in, I could fix it for you, and that would cost you $160. But you can almost certainly fix it yourself in a few minutes." He then went on to describe to me exactly what to look for ,and how to fix it. He also told me that, worst case scenario, if I broke the faulty mechanism trying to fix it, he had a spare part that I could easily install for myself, for just $30. It took me longer to find a small enough wrench to access the pilot mechanism than it did to fix the problem. Chad could have just let me bring in the camper, and charge me $160 for a 5 minute repair. Instead he had the integrity to do the right thing. Guess where I will be going for all my RV repairs in the future!! read more

I called Chad after reading his good reviews. We were on a road trip in our Spotsmobile and the propane alarm wouldn't stop going off! Chad met us the next day at our house and jumped right in to diagnosing the propane issue and helping with everything on my "when we get to it" list! He let me watch what he was doing and showed me how to do a bunch of things that I didn't think were possible (like taking out the locking cabinets!!). I feel much more confident in our van after an hour with Chad then with literally dozens of other maintenance people from around the country who have had a chance to work on the van on its travels. He is extremely fair in pricing and knows his stuff. Looks like we have a new go-to mechanic.. only 500 miles from home! read more

Forget Camping World. I only trust Chad at Desert Sport RV for service. Honest and extremely helpful. He has taught me more about my Toyhauler than even the dealer I bought it from. Prices are fair and Chad will not try and sell you something you don't need. His advice includes maintenance tips for all aspects of my trailer. Chad tells me how to extend the life of my roof, awning, refrigerator, and many other items that need periodic attention before something major could go wrong. If you need service, or just advice, start with Chad at Desert Sport RV in Vista read more

Chad is the best! We bought our first RV - 1985 Lazy Daze from him. It's everything he claimed it to be. No fancy frills but had new appliances in it. We love it and Chad is so very helpful. I agree with G.P. that he is truly the old fashioned service oriented guy every shop owner should be. read more

Chad is about as customer friendly as can be! Talked with Chad this morning, he showed up to my house and troubleshoot my RV within the hour, gave me info over the phone, was very upfront and knowledgeable. 10 out of 10 will use again and also will highly recommend to anybody in need! read more
