Kevin and Steve were awesome! We have a freightliner MT 45 Turbo Diesel that we converted into a motorhome and while traveling from the East Coast a high pitch whistle occurred. We thought the turbo went out on the diesel engine. When we pulled into elite auto and Fleet Steve did not have time to run a diagnostic that day but he let us park overnight in their parking lot to have a look the next morning. Steve advised that the high pitch whistle was likely the turbo and it could be Over $1000 fix. He recommended getting a rental car since I needed to be at a job interview in a couple days. The next morning Kevin and Steve took a look at the turbo and saw immediately that a bolt was gone on the manifold. The gasket had slipped out from position which was causing the whistle. They said nothing was wrong with the turbo. They were able to pry the manifold away and slip the gasket back into place. They said it was our lucky day! Steve even found a replacement bolt and didn t even charge us for it! The fix was less than an hour and we were on our way! It went from a potential $1000-$2000 fix to a $150 fix. We were thrilled and so thankful that they were so nice and honest. Please see my YouTube channel for the shorts video on elite auto and Fleet s fix. I also made a Live stream video about my experience on my YouTube channel.Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

2000 miles from home and my 2006 DieselWinnebago View was intermittently losing power. Read reviews on Elite about how willing and helpful they were to stranded RVers. Was there when they opened and was quickly told they don t work on Strinter vans. I was turned away without a reason or help in finding another place. Neil, the young man at the counter was nice and respectful but when he called the boss, Kevin he said no.

Kevin & crew were wonderful! They let us park our 5th wheel in their lot overnight which was a life saver. We broke down on the highway at the start of a 3 week trip, and they were able to get us back on the road the next day. They took us in on such short notice and were very professional, caring, and did a great job! Would recommend to anyone in a heart beat!

We highly recommend this place. We broke down in Ludlow on our way to Carlesbad with our toddler. We called several places and Kevin was the first to say he would be willing to work on our van and gave us the details we needed to plan our unscheduled night in Barstow. He explained everything thoroughly and ordered parts at risk to help us get going as fast as possible so that we could still enjoy our weekend trip. He also went above and beyond and gave our family a ride to a hotel he recommended, which was great. He really helped us out when we were in a tough spot and got us back on the road in less than 24 hours and the car is running great!Services: Auto engine diagnostic, Engine repair

Kevin knows what he is doing. We broke down in Barstow heading back to Florida pulling our fifth wheel. I had a hard time finding someone that new what they where talking about when it came to F350 Diesels. Kevin got it diagnosed and fixed and we had a smooth ride back to FL.

We were a couple of tired travelers having just made it across the East Cali desert on 120� summer day. We pulled off in Barstow to get fuel. The coolant dumped all over the asphalt. We knew we couldn t go any further. We were in a 1 ton diesel, not everybody works on those.I called four places and finally got a referral to Elite Auto and Fleet. I spoke to Kevin there and he said yes, we can fix that, but we don t have any openings until tomorrow morning. We asked him to put us on the schedule. We knew we didn t have any other options. About a half an hour later he called and said he could see us at 2 PM. We were overjoyed.He diagnosed the problem, ordered the parts and had us back on the road by 4:30 PM the same day! He said he thought about our predicament and knew exactly how we felt. He really did us a turn by squeezing us in. I cannot recommend this auto shop highly enough!

I had a serious problem with the truck, I took it to this place thinking I was not from Barstow, CA., and that I would be at their mercy.It was amazing how well they treated us.They had other jobs ahead of us, and it took a while for them to get to our truck...But be honest, it was a big job, and they got to it sooner than they said they could.Some people expect a shop to stop everything for their issue. I would rather have them get to me when it is my turn, and then do a great job.That was these guys.They were able to replace a failed diesel engine in 2 and a half days, even after having to order it.They kept me updated on everything that was going on, and even were every patient with me when I called daily.This place made me feel like I had known them for years, and did the best job!!It has been thousands of miles, and more than half a year since they did the work, and I am so happy that they were able to do the work on my truck.If you ever need any work done, this is the place to be hands down.Thank you Elite Auto and Fleet for taking such great care of us when we needed it most.God bless you

We were passing through Barstow and our motor home engine was making unusual sounds. Kevin was able to look at it right away and had the diagnostic equipment to resolve the issue. He is an excellent mechanic and explained everything in plain English. Highly recommend this auto shop!

Our turbo boot on our 2012 F250 blew apart. My husband called Elite Auto & Fleet (talked to Kevin) and they were closing soon but suggested having us towed to his lot by ARC Towing (fantastic themselves). Kevin looked at our truck the next morning and we had to have the part shipped from Pennsylvania. Kevin received the part around 11am and called us to pick up the truck around noon, after he had driven the truck and verified all was good to go. Kevin is a TERRIFIC MECHANIC AND PERSON. If you need ANY work done on your vehicle we HIGHLY RECOMMEND him and Elite Auto & Fleet!Thanks again Kevin :)The FishersService: General repairs & maintenance

My father in-law's truck broke down on our way home from California. Kevin is super knowledgeable about Diesel trucks and fixed it up fast so we could get back on the road. Very personable and great person. Definitely recommended.

No one else in the area would work on my Mercedes Sprinter Kevin and his crew were super friendly, helpful, and really fast and efficient. They had my alternator diagnosed, a part ordered, and fixed within a few hours. Definitely recommend this place!

He is Honest....A few weeks ago my engine let out on my way home to Las Vegas. Despite pulling in minutes before they closed, he took the time to hook it up to diagnose, informed me that it was a serious issue, advised me to put it through my warranty with a different shop, and waited until I had a plan in place for a tow and a rental. Then charged NOTHING for all of his time and advice. (I left some cash anyway).Turns out it was a $9000 and two week fix and going through my warranty was for sure the right move. Thank you for your honesty, advice, and time. It was appreciated. I was stressed.

Kevin is awesome! I was told by another shop in town that it would cost nearly $700 to fix the problem. Elite did it for $275. Great customer service and quality work. I was afraid I was having engine trouble and they could have lied to me since I m so mechanically ignorant, but they were honest and told me everything was fine other than the minor fix they did.

What wonderful luck to find Elite Auto and Fleet. Traveling from Southern Utah to San Diego my alternator went bad 30 miles North of Barstow. With every passing minute I feared my battery would run cold and I would be stranded on the side of the freeway. A quick search directed me to a Barstow shop that turned out to be out of business. Traveling down Main Street I found Elite. Kevin was able to replace my alternator and get me back on the road in just over an hour dispite getting a bad alternator from Napa and having to find another.Service was top notch! Price was fair (especially considering the circumstances). And, I was back on the road and home with minimal stress.Thank you Elite Auto!
