Tahoe Diesel & 4 Wheel Drive is a truck and diesel repair shop based in South Lake Tahoe, California. It is a fixed shop, so you bring the RV to them at 1012 Industrial Ave., not the other way around.
The main trade here is diesel and 4-wheel drive repair, but motorhomes and diesel RVs are named right alongside the trucks and SUVs they work on. Jobs include brakes, clutch service, air conditioning, electrical, cooling system, fuel system, exhaust and muffler work, steering and suspension, and oil and filter changes. They serve South Lake Tahoe and the surrounding community.
No RV-specific prices, hourly rate, or trip fee are published, so ask about cost and scheduling when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
The shop is managed by Tim, described as an ASE-certified master technician, and it is licensed, insured, AAA-approved and an approved NAPA Auto Care Center. That NAPA affiliation comes with a "written guarantee honored at over 12,000 NAPA locations nationwide," covering parts and labor for 24 months or 24,000 miles on qualifying work, which matters if you break down again somewhere else in the country and need that repair honored. One review describes a motorhome brought in with squealing brakes on a mountain trip, getting the rear brakes done same day and the fronts finished by noon the next day, a sign they are used to handling RVs passing through, not just trucks.
Google rates them 3.7 stars from 117 reviews.
This is a good fit for a traveler whose motorhome needs brake, cooling, electrical or AC work while passing through the Tahoe area, or a local owner who wants a shop with a nationwide warranty behind the repair.
