Carmichael Truck & Automotive Service, Inc.

Carmichael Truck & Automotive Service, Inc. is a truck and automotive shop based in Bloomington, Indiana, at 3950 W. Farmer Ave. You bring the RV to the shop. It does not say it comes to campgrounds, storage lots or driveways. It offers "General Repairs on: Cars, Light-Medium-Heavy Duty Trucks, Buses and RV's," so RVs are among the vehicles it names.

The listed systems are suspension and steering repair, Hunter computerized wheel alignment, Hunter RoadForce computer wheel balancing, and gasoline or diesel engine diagnostics, inspections and tune-ups. It does not name RV types, RV brands or RV systems such as air conditioners, refrigerators or slide-outs, so ask whether it has worked on your rig's systems before you drive over.

No hourly rate or trip fee is published, so ask about both when you call, along with what the diagnostic costs. A diagnostic is the charge you pay to learn what the repair will cost, so it is worth knowing the price first. Once you call or send a message, the shop will "contact you soon to discuss and schedule you in for a diagnostic and estimate." Hours are listed as 08:00 am to 05:00 pm, and the phone number is 812-334-8285. No after-hours or emergency service, warranty, licensing or insurance is stated, so ask about those too.

The business has been operating for 26 years, and David Carmichael owns and runs it with his team. Its mission is to "ensure that every vehicle leaves our shop in optimal condition." Google rates it 4.4 stars from 62 reviews, and its Google category is Truck repair shop.

This is a good fit for an RV owner near Bloomington who can drive the rig to the shop and needs suspension, steering, alignment, balancing or engine diagnostic work, or for a traveler already passing through town who can get the rig to Farmer Avenue.
