Dakota Truck

Dakota Truck is a truck and trailer repair facility based in Lakeville, Minnesota, and the main trade here is medium and heavy duty truck repair, with motor home and coach service and RV work done alongside it. You bring the RV to its shop in the Air Lake Industrial Park, a couple blocks off Highway 70, between Highway 35 and Cedar Ave.

It works on air conditioning, brakes and suspension, electrical, engine service and repair, hydraulic repairs, oil changes, refrigeration, tires and wheels, transmission and drive train, welding, and DOT inspections, on "big trucks, small trucks, RV'S." That range matters if your rig has a drivetrain or suspension issue a dedicated RV shop might not take on, since Dakota Truck is set up for heavy equipment first.

No hourly rate, trip fee or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about pricing when you call. It lists 24/7 emergency service and repair in addition to its regular hours, posted as Mon-Fri 7am-4pm. It takes cash, check, the major cards, and several fleet payment methods including Comcheck, TCH Check, Fleet One check, T-Chek and EFS Check, along with invoicing, which points to a shop used to commercial accounts as much as individual owners.

Google rates it 4.2 stars from 148 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner whose motor home or coach needs chassis, brake, engine or electrical work and who wants a shop built around trucks and heavy equipment rather than a dedicated RV service counter, and who does not mind bringing the rig in rather than having someone come to them.
