The service here is outstanding! We have spent a year trying to fix an issue on our diesel motorhome. Cummings tried but they charged us an outrageous fee and we still had the problem. We took it to several diesel mechanics in our town. Still no luck. We were refered to TriSand by former in-laws and they found the problem in minutes and had it fixed in less than two hours! Devon was our mechanic and he is fantastic. As long as Devon is there and we need service, we will go back to TriSand!

I have a new favorite mechanic. For over a year I have not been able to fix this issue. I started by taking it to Cummins NorthWest outside of Medford Oregon. They did not fix the problem and charged me over $800 for their total lack of effort. Trisand found the problem in less than 10-15 minutes. They didn't have the parts in stock, but found them locally and had us on the road in about 2 hours.

I am impressed with their speed of diagnosis and their repairs. My only negative is that they are located about 230 miles from our home. Job well done by an experienced and professional diesel mechanic.
