Lake City is small, but it sits at one of the most important crossroads in Florida: I-75 and I-10 meet just west of town. RVers heading south from Atlanta or east from the Gulf Coast all funnel through here, and a lot of them stop for fuel and a night's rest.
Where we work
Truck stops and fuel stations at the interchange. RV parks along US 90 and the interstate exits. O'Leno State Park on the Santa Fe River, south of town. Stephen Foster Folk Culture Center State Park in White Springs, on the Suwannee. Campgrounds around Live Oak and the Suwannee River. And I-75 north to the Georgia line.
What we see here
Travel-day failures. A battery that was weak when you left home often gives out after a long day of driving and a night on battery power. Morning no-starts at fuel stops are common.
Alternator issues. A long day of driving with a battery that won't start the next morning can point to a charging problem rather than the battery. We test the alternator and isolator before replacing anything.
Cold mornings. North Florida winters are cool enough to expose a weak chassis battery.
If you're stuck at an exit
Text us the exit number and the business you're parked at. If you're on the shoulder, follow the roadside safety steps first.
