Need service in Chattanooga

I am in a park outside Chattanooga, and need to get someone to come out and find a fuel problem in a workhorse gas motorhome. I have 3 names to call, and I would like to know if anyone has a recomendation. I went online and the only one that had a any reviews had a good and bad.
The three names that I have are Shacklefod Enterprises,Lee Smith, and Dixie truck Equitment. If anyone has delt with any of these companies I would like to know if I should call them, or run.
  • Lee Smith could not get anyone out until the next day, and they said it would be four or more days to get it in the shop if it was towed in. The rv service manager told me to try Tri State Truck Service. When I called them and explained what had happened he said he could have someone there in about an hour. When he arrived he did some checks and was able to get it started. I was thinking oh no he got it running, but he did not find what was causing the problem. Then he said what was music to my ears, now we have to start testing and find what is the real cause of the problem. It took some time, but he found a loose connection that would heat up and open. In talking to him I found out he was scheduled to be in the shop, but after hearing what kind of problem it was the service manager sent out his best man at finding electrical problems.
  • The fuel filter was changed, the fuel pump relay was changed, I could not get 12 volts at the wires into the fuel pump. I have reached the point that is is time to call someone that has worked on the newer electrical systems.
  • I have been thinking Lee Smith would be the first shop, as they list workhorse in their add. After hearing that you have recieved good service from them it will make me feel better to call them in the morning. It is hard to find a shop when you are on the road, thank you for your reply.
  • If it is the fuel pump, major problem. Hopefully it is just the fuel filter, which is a minor problem.
