Hunters Creek was planned on paper before it was built. Genstar began planning around 1984 on a south Orange County holding of up to 3,840 acres, and most of the community went up in the late 1980s and 1990s. Today it holds 38 single-family neighborhoods and 10 multifamily ones, 3 elementary schools, 2 middle schools and Freedom High School. Fleet traffic here is mostly service, delivery, HOA and school-route work rather than industry.
RDI keeps no office or crew in Hunters Creek; the only shop is in Brooksville. A breakdown here gets a technician who drives over with the scan tools and parts to fix the vehicle in place.
SR 417 exits 10 and 11 at Hunters Creek
The Central Florida GreeneWay has 2 Hunters Creek exits: Exit 10 at John Young Parkway (CR 423) and Exit 11 at US 17/92/441, Orange Blossom Trail. FDOT’s 2025 inventory counts about 12,341 trucks a day on the Southern Connector segment running from the Osceola County line, about 1 vehicle in 5.
On the GreeneWay, give us the exit number you just passed or are approaching and your direction. A mile marker is better still. Get the vehicle onto the shoulder as far as it will go, hazards on, triangles out if you can place them safely, and wait well away from traffic.
Orange Blossom Trail and John Young Parkway near Hunters Creek
Orange Blossom Trail carries about 4,136 trucks a day near the community, and John Young Parkway meets the GreeneWay at Exit 10. Both are busy commercial roads. If the vehicle can move, get it off the travel lanes and into a lot. Then tell us the business you are in front of, the nearest cross street and which side of the road you are on.
Service vans and delivery trucks around Hunters Creek
A van that quits halfway through a day of service calls or deliveries is exactly the kind of breakdown mobile service handles well. Diesel Sprinter vans, Power Stroke and Ram pickups, and medium duty box trucks all fall within what RDI works on.
Where can the technician work on it? A business lot, a work site, a commercial parking area or the roadside. If the vehicle stopped somewhere it cannot stay, such as a narrow residential street, tell us on the call and we will work out the best next step with you.
On-site diagnosis for light duty diesels in Hunters Creek
Light duty diesels are full of computers, and guessing at them is expensive. The technician connects first: Ford IDS on Power Stroke trucks, WiTECH on Ram, and the right tools for Sprinter vans and GM’s Duramax. Codes are read, live data is watched and the suspect part is tested.
Common on-site repairs for vans and pickups include:
- Dead batteries, corroded cables and failed starters
- Alternators that stopped charging
- DEF warnings that start limiting speed, and failed NOx or temperature sensors
- Glow plug and glow plug controller faults behind hard starts
- Thrown belts and leaking coolant hoses
- Plugged fuel filters and water in the fuel
Our page on Sprinter van service covers those vans in more detail. A digital inspection with pictures documents every van or truck the technician touches.
Calling about a van stopped in Hunters Creek
Tell us where it is first: the street or business, the nearest cross street, and whether it is safely out of traffic. Then the vehicle: year, make, engine and unit number, and what happened, such as a hard start, a warning light, a speed limit message from the DEF system or a loss of power. A photo of the dash helps. On-site repairs carry the same 3-year / 36,000-mile labor warranty as shop work, and fleet repairs carry the 2-year / 24,000-mile RDI Fleet warranty.
When a Hunters Creek vehicle needs the shop
Engine internals, transmission work and repairs that need the van raised go to RDI Power’s shop in Brooksville. The technician walks you through the failure, we set a time and method for the trip together, and nothing is diagnosed twice.
Hunters Creek vans on an RDI Fleet account have roadside help 24/7; everyone else can reach the shop at (352) 433-3800 Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The mobile diesel repair page explains the program, and fleets that want scheduled service can read about Hunters Creek fleet maintenance.
