What clients say about Howells Diesel Road Service in Clarksville (TN)
This is one of the most honest and upstanding shops and people to deal with. Quick quality service-A+. The owner is a stand up guy that works with you. The five star reviews are spot on
Our truck brokedown at the fuel island, called Howells Diesel and they showed up, fixed fuel leak and jump started the truck super quick for reasonable price! Thank you guys! Highly recommended!
Came to our rescue for a faulty DPF differential pressure sensor. I gave them the suspected faulty sensor part number to aid in repair time, because we see this A LOT! He went to the dealership and got the sensor, showed up, installed it, and ran a stationary regen. Got my driver back on the road!
Great asset to my book of reputable mobile service companies!!!
Thank you you Josh!

**Update: Josh reached out & refunded me half the cost of the brake pad kit. He apologized & said he honestly forgot to give me other half of the kit. An honest business owner/mechanic. The refund was unexpected but shows his integrity. If I were you; I wouldn’t go to anyone else in the area when he’s available. You’ll be in great hands!!**
Original 5 star review:
Josh and his tech Tommy were awesome. They replaced my blown hub seal and brake pad on my Cascadia in under 1.5hrs. Tommy showed up first with the service truck and got my drive tires off and Josh came few minutes after and together they cranked it out. Prices are fair for roadside repair.
My only gripe was that if I paid 295 for the brake pad kit, I should’ve gotten the other pads that came in the kit. But it’s not a big deal, they were friendly and fast and I have no complaints on the actual work they did on my truck.
I had a DPF ISSUE Howells roadside service
Repair issue Josh
Got back me back on the road same day,great service. and good price 💰for a roadside assistance 👍
Got a check engine light on my RV on the way back from Williamsburg, VA. Called Howell's as soon as I got back based on all the 5 star reviews. They are super busy but came out in two days and ran diagnostics. Turns out it was a dirty intake manifold pressure sensor. They removed it and cleaned it, and cleared the fault. Could not ask for better service. I recommend them for all your diesel needs!
This place deserves every star! great and fast service. my truck broke down for DPF issues they showed up in less than one hour. They diagnosed the problem grabbed the parts and fixed it quickly. when I had previously checked in at loves truck repair shop, they couldn’t even diagnose the issue, these are definitely the people u want to be working on your vehicle!
Needed a DEF system drained and forced regen done on a pickup on labor day weekend. Three hours away from home and when called they were fast to come and fix the issue. The 5 star reviews are true! Saved a tow bill over 1500 for us in less than three hours!
If we could we would give these guys 10 stars! Unfortunately, having been down the road before of needing a mobile diesel mechanic…. Josh and Tommy are the BEST!!! Very responsive, knowledgeable, thorough, efficient and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!!!
I have to send a shout out to Josh and his son. They showed up at my house at 10pm when you know no one else will come out that late. They even stayed there until they diagnosed the problem. Although the problem went far beyond his reach and would have taken him days to fix, he showed up the next morning just to see if something else would solve the problem. What? 🥹
Thank goodness, the place where I bought my truck is fixing it for free. But this is what a good business looks like. Thank you!
At first I wondered if the 5 start reviews were fake, but now that Joshua got our company truck back out on the road I have to leave a 5 star review. Very fast and professional service. Josh updated me every step of the way, sent pictures and got us rolling in a matter of no time. I will call you next time we have an issue in the area.
Great service! Quick response, arrived on time, and professionally fixed the issue. Very thankful for the roadside assistance, Highly recommend. Replace the alternator on my freightliner cascadia, and found the part in the middle of night while everywhere were closed, reasonable prices. Thank you Josh God bless you 🙏
Josh is awesome. He promptly showed up when he said. He was knowledgeable and had the proper equipment for the job. We narrowed it down and were able to come up with a suitable fix .
Josh is top notch. He’s done work on my 2004 F-250 twice now, and both times have been a great experience. Honest, professional, knowledgeable, and a nice guy- would highly recommend.
10/10 Recommended!!!! Josh came out and saved the day. We are a logistics company and one of our drivers was down with a bad starter. Not only was the price reasonable, Josh worked very well and quickly, and he's also super friendly. I can not rave enough. I'm definitely saving his contact information for future mechanic needs in KY. Thanks a million Josh
Our coach broke down near Clarksville, Tennessee early on a Sunday morning. We called Howell's Diesel Repair and Josh arrived within 45 minutes to respond to our problem. He troubleshot the issue and quickly found that we had a bad diesel transfer pump. He located the parts and had us repaired by late afternoon. We were back on the road Monday morning and have experienced no problems with the repairs. We were so lucky to have called Howell's Auto Diesel Repair for help. Josh's professionalism and knowledge helped make a stressful situation better. If you need diesel repair services and you're within Josh's coverage area, you definitely want to call Howell's.
Amazing service! Our serpentine belt on our RV started to tear. Contacted Howell's. Charles the tech picked up the new belt Sunday morning, drove an hour to where we were. Replaced the belt very quickly. Very knowledgeable and quite a gentleman. Thank you so very much. Your company is a true blessing.

My travel trailer busted a leaf spring and tire on I-65. Josh was able to get me fixed and back on the road in just a few hours…on a Sunday. His prices were very reasonable and he is a very skilled mechanic and genuinely good person. He helped me get through every step of the process smoothly. If you are traveling in your RV or towing a trailer and need help, I highly recommend you contact Josh to help you out.
I moved to Clarksville in May ‘23. Had trouble finding a reliable shop for repairs while I’m at home. Josh is my go to guy here. Knowledgable, professional and will keep you informed while looking for parts. Highly recommend!!!
Great service excellent customer service. Repair our RV as we were traveling back home. He drove two hours to reach us . Very knowledgeable young man.Follow us to make sure we were safe. This young man had to wait 1 and hour hour while Good Sam Insurance was trying to make a decision how much they were going to pay and how much I needed to pay. 12 hours later we are still waiting for an answer.. Please if you need diesel repair reach out to Josh Howells. Josh is a true hero
There’s a reason this guy has 58 5-star reviews. I met Josh after I purchased an older 3rd gen Cummins and asked him to come look it over to itemize problems I needed to fix before using it to pull my RV. I started on doing a bunch of the repairs but decided I better call Josh since I didn’t have a few of the tools I would need. Josh knocked out a full front end rebuild and other maintenance issues I needed in less than 10 hours. Quality work, communicates, and reasonable pricing. Will definitely recommend this business to many others. Thanks Josh!
I had given him a call about a power steering problem. He found the problem fixed it and informed me of some other problems that I might have later down the road.i personally loved that he went out of his way to make sure everything else was working and that she was road ready.
Had some issues with my truck, and these guys came out and we’re able to help me diagnose what was wrong with it - took them about 10 minutes and they didn’t even charge for the diagnosis. Ended up going with a different mechanic who felt more comfortable with Japanese imports, but the service at Howells absolutely gained another customer. Couldn’t recommend a better mechanic for working on diesels in Clarksville!
Hands down best mechanic and shop I have ever worked with. If you have a commerical truck and are within 200 miles of Clarkesville don't go anywhere else. You can't beat Josh's expertise, professionalism, attentiviness and customer service. He will get your truck in and out and fast as possible but he will not do it at the expense of not doing top notch work and making sure everyhting is addressed that should be. He will hunt down parts and solutions like a hound dog! And, he makes himself avaialble with updates and questions way more than he probably ought to! I wonder does he even sleep! I'm not exagerating, drive as far as you have to to bring your truck here. I'm probably hosing my own business with this review because if Josh gets too busy I won't be able to get my trucks in to him! But, he deserves the shout out. Thanks Josh!
I had huge problems with my Silverado before Josh got his hands on it. I had had 2 or 3 other mechanics try to bring it back to life to no avail. Howell's AD Repair was the ONLY one to figure out what was really wrong, and get it fixed. I have had the truck back about a month now and 2k miles later, I'm still rolling right along with no problems. Thank you so much for everything! I'm so happy with Howells that I proudly wear their name on my bumper!
