Karraker Mechanical Solutions

Karraker Mechanical Solutions is a family-owned auto repair shop based in Ellensburg, WA, at 1107 Industrial Way. It is a fixed shop, so you bring the motorhome to it. Google lists it as an RV repair shop, and the phone number is (509) 201-1700.

It services "all makes and models, both foreign and domestic, including cars, trucks, and motorhomes." Its listed work covers engine, transmission, brake, electrical, suspension and steering, and exhaust repair, plus diagnostics and routine maintenance. Motorhomes are the only RV type it names, and it does not list slide-outs, refrigerators, air conditioners or generators, so ask about those before you book. Its service area is "Serving drivers throughout Ellensburg and the surrounding areas."

No hourly rate or diagnostic fee is published, so ask for a price when you call. It offers "estimates provided before work begins," so you get a number before the work starts. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with weekend appointments by request.

The technicians are "ASE-certified," which means they have passed national tests in specific repair areas. The shop is also a "Certified Auto Repair facility," and its repairs carry a "nationwide warranty" that is honored at 35,000+ Certified Auto Repair locations. That matters if the motorhome breaks down far from home. Michael and Jessica Karraker run the shop, which opened in the summer of 2016, and Google rates it 4.9 stars from 101 reviews.

This is a good fit for a motorhome owner near Ellensburg who can get the rig to the shop on a weekday and wants a price before work starts, or a traveler passing through Central Washington with engine, brake or electrical trouble.
