Oakley’s Garage & Towing

Heading west from New Mexico, the fuel pump in our 2003 Pleasure Way failed just east of Benson. We were towed to a garage in Benson after hours. Next morning, the garage said they were booked for the next five working days, but they gave us Oakley’s number. Scott answered the call and within the hour he towed the van to their location. This was Thursday morning. As the pump was located inside the gas tank and the tank was above all the plumbing for the black and grey water tanks and Pleasure Way, in their infinite wisdom used a non-​stock fuel tank to get a fit and none of the Ford numbers matched the pump that was defective, it’s a miracle that Scott got us on the road by Monday. These guys are old-​school and because they are on our travel route, they’ll have our business in the future.

The engine light was lit and we didn’t know whether it was serious or not. We called a Kia dealer and asked for his recommendation. He told us to bring it in for a diagnostic check for $ 150. The appointment was set for the third day after we called. We were really turned off for a diagnostic check that takes about 10 minutes. We called Oakley’s. They suggested bringing it in next morning for a $ 40 diagnostic check. After that he suggested bringing it in the next morning so he could get the malfunctioning speed sensor. The bill for that was $ 202 and was installed in about 45 minutes. The speed and competence, not to mention the very reasonable rate impressed me very much! The place is not fancy but the business runs like a «well-​oiled» machine!

I was driving from Dallas to Los Angeles and my check engine light came on in Benson. Stopped for the night and called around the next morning to find out who could diagnose as well as repair if needed, and Oakley’s said they could get to me about 9:30am. I pulled up about 8:50, though, and Mike (hope I’m remembering his name correctly) helped me immediately. He hooked my car up and ran the diagnostics. Nothing major was wrong, just an old problem that I already knew about. I needed to make certain, though, that I wouldn’t be stranded in the desert between AZ and LA. He had me back on the road before 9:15! He was honest and worked fast. If you breakdown near Benson, consider Oakley’s!

Very good for RV repair. They fixed our brakes on a 1996 fifth wheel. They worked us in on a busy day.
They were reasonable on prices. They aren’t fancy here. There isn’t a waiting room with a TV and coffee. They don’t even have a lot to pull your RV into, you just park on the street next to the building, but they were friendly and accommodating. Definitely a service garage.
I would recommend this place.
