Desert Car Care of Chandler
I was traveling from TX to CA pulling a 32' Gooseneck flatbed trailer to help my handicap father move from CA to TX when my F350 DPF filter clogged. I got the dreadful Red Screen message "Exhaust Filter Over Limit, Service Now". All you non deleted Diesel owners know this screen. You don't want to see this pop up ever. Anyways, I pulled into a Love's truck stop and thought maybe I could see if their mechanic could use their laptop to force my truck into a manual regen to clear the DPF filter and burn out the build up. Unfortunately, that didn't work, the mechanics setup only worked on the big rigs. Super nice guy who tried his darndest to help me. When he couldn't help me out he recommended I call Desert Car Care. So, I called Desert Car Care and talked to Suzy. It was 4pm and I asked her if they could take a look at my truck before they closed. She put holds and then let talk to Chris (I hope I got his name right, he was one of their master mechanics) so I could tell him the codes my truck had thrown and describe the situation I was in. Chris told me to bring by the truck by and he said he could fix the problem. He had a really good idea what was wrong and he said he could get the parts the next day from the surrounding area to get my truck back up and running. So at this point I realized I was not making it any farther that day and had to start to figure out where I could park my F350 Crew Cab with my 32' Gooseneck trailer. That's where Suzy came to my rescue. She told me there was a hotel across the street from their shop. She texted me the name and phone number so I could call and make a reservation while having time to stop by the shop to let Chris take a look at my truck before they closed for the day. Next day I had my truck at the shop at 7am so they start working on it. The owner, Frank, spent time with me as well. He shared with me that he was going to jump in the shop and help out to allow his guys to work on my truck that morning so he would not jeopardize his current customer commitments. This what you call going above and beyond to ensure you are providing the best customer service to your clients. They got the parts shipped in from around the metro area, repair done, regen completed and test drove my truck by 3pm. I was able to get back on the road by 4pm and continue my journey to move my father from CA. You don't find shops like this in many metro areas, but when you do you will certainly be back because you'll know when they tell you something that it's the truth and they will stand behind their work while focusing on only offering the necessary repairs required to get you back on the road. I only wish Desert Car Care had a branch in Fort Worth, TX. If they did, I would be a customer for life. You Chandler folks have a great autoshop resource in your area. If I break down again in the Chandler area on any of my hauls I'm for sure driving to their shop or I'm having my F350 towed to their shop for repairs. Many thanks Frank and Suzy! Please thank the shop team that got me back on the road. Dad is now enjoying his new home and settling in to his new life in Texas. Service: Exhaust
