Desert View Mobil

Pulled in for fuel, all of a sudden we are looking at $ 2500 bill for repair of something that wasn’t broke! Immediately got a 2^nd opinion from a local RV repair tech. There was nothing wrong! A report to the BBB is in order!

I was an out of town RV’er passing through town and pulled in to this station because my heater core was starting to drip and they had a repair garage. It was a ridiculously hot September day and I was dreading having to stay overnight in this town while my engine would have to be repaired and figured that they’d overcharge me to boot. Instead, the guys in the garage were super friendly, chatting about my RV, the local hunting, etc and after taking a look under the hood, told me that they could switch a couple hoses so that I wouldn’t overheat (but wouldn’t have use of the heater until it was properly repaired), did it within 20 minutes and charged me $ 20. I was so grateful that I forgot I had left my credit card at the register when getting gas. I was 100 miles away by the time I realized that I left my card there. I called them and they mailed it back to my home. Great staff, the owner should be proud of them.

We stopped here on the way to the Grand Canyon.
Nothing special here. Typical roadside gas station.
Gas, coffee, snack foods, needless souvenirs.

Beware of the guys that work here. They are vultures. 6 guys working a small dinky gas station. Sitting around and looking for trouble. Anyone that pulls in, they say. Oh my you need help! There is a huge problem.
How the heck did the old man who can’t see or walk spot this problem from 100 feet away.
Then quote you $ 700 to fix it. Just do yourself a favor and stay away.

Our car broke down in the middle of the desert on our way back from a vacation. I thought we were in deep poo, for sure. We got towed to Desert View Mobil and Tony, the service manager, gave us the best service I’ve ever had at an auto shop. He went well above and beyond the call of duty, even drove us to a hotel for the night and helped me with our bags. Super nice guy, and he fixed our car for an unreasonably low price. I definitely recommend this place for service if you’re having car troubles.

Very expensive. I can say this b/​c you get on the interstate and the next stop was more than a $ 1 less. I use to own a gas station, there is no good reason for such a huge difference except to take advantage of a in knowing market.

Having tire issues with our 5^th wheel. They found axles and Springs were stretched and twisted! Said it would be 4 hours to repair & replace. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

The gas prices here are high for a reason. They do not need your business. Get your gas in Bullhead or Barstow for 1.50 per gallon less.
Don’t play their game
If the prices are too high people are simply going to put less gas in their tank to compensate for the difference and then find a better deal elsewhere

I come here frequently for gas on long RV trips. A familiar employee pointed out problem with suspension. My radar is always suspicious about things like this but I could see there was a problem. Repairs were made in109 heat and another problem I had been told about from regular repair person back home was also repaired here. Parts used and repairs and costs were carefully explained. It was more expensive than at home but we were close to a break down.

Just took us 12 min to fill 12 gallons! Not fun when you’re in a hurry. people seen nice though

I had a good experience here. My check engine light came up, and I was told it was just one bank of cylinders running too lean. (I have a V6.) They said it was probably just the change in altitude heading west since Needles is below sea level and I-​40 through Arizona goes to over 7,000 feet. I just paid for the scan, and they turned off the check engine light.

What a wonderful group of service techs that work here! I am thankful that Ricky Wallace took the time to inspect the tires on the RV I was pulling and telling me twice that he recommended I change them out. I had simply did a walk-​around inspection and inflation check before starting my trip from Yosemite to North Carolina. I failed to notice that the tires starting to separate and could only have been noticed by getting down and checking the tires more closely. Once the tires were pulled off it was clearly obvious that they would have left me sitting on the side of the hot highway in no time at all. The tires he put on were as new as they are in any service center that specializes in tires and got me home safely with no troubles at all.
GREAT SERVICE, GREAT ATTITUDE, REASONABLE PRICES

Came through to purchase gas in our RV. A technician started walking around looking at my tires. Told me my front tires were about to blow, concerned i purchased his «new» set of tires. Come to find out the tires were over a Year and a Half old. They sold me old tires. Sucker I was.

This is my midway marker for when I’m driving to Arizona.
This time around it was about 10pm and the place was hoping.
As I as pumping gas two hot rods pulled in that were on their way from Santa Monica to Chicago on the Route 66 Run.
I got to take photos of the cars and chatted it up with the old guys driving them. That was a real treat for me.
The service station was open so I think if you needed something even that late at night they probably would have helped you. The last time I was here it was around 2am and just the gas station was open.
OK bathrooms. I don’t think many women go there so they were clean enough for what you would expect a Mobil Station bathroom in Needles would look like.
I got gas and a bag of ice and was on my way.
Oh, it was 10pm and it was 87 degrees outside. Yuck!
