what to look for.
Every shop says it is the best. Here is how to check, using things you can verify before you hand over the keys. We hold ourselves to the same list, and we will tell you where we fall short.
01 · The checklist
Nine things
Nine things
you can verify.
- Certified techniciansAsk which certifications the technicians hold. RVIA certification is the industry standard. Brand training from Victron, Dometic or Lippert is a plus for solar, appliances and slide-outs. Ours: RVIA Master Certified, plus all three.
- A published labor rateA shop that will say its hourly rate on the phone is a shop that is not hiding the bill. Ours is $198 an hour.
- A written estimate firstNothing should start without one. You should see the work, the parts and a price before anyone picks up a tool.
- Two turnaround numbersWhen can they look at it, and when will it be done. A shop that measures this can tell you. Ours: most appointments booked within 7 days, and the average job runs about 6.3 days from intake to completion.
- A straight answer on what they do not doGood shops turn work away. Ours: no engines, transmissions or chassis, no fiberglass, no mobile service, nothing over 40 feet or older than 20 years.
- A warranty on the workAsk how long, and get it on the estimate. Ours is 60 days on parts and labor.
- Reviews that describe real jobsA pile of stars means less than a few reviews that say what was fixed and how it went. Read the low ones too, and how the owner answered.
- A real addressA shop with its own building and bays is a different thing from a phone number. Check that you can drive to it.
- The right shop for the jobWarranty and recall work belongs at a dealer. Fiberglass belongs at a fiberglass body shop. Engines belong at a chassis or truck shop. The best shop for you depends on what is broken.

- House systemsElectrical, solar and lithium, plumbing and leaks, heating and air, appliances, slide-outs and awnings. This is specialist shop work, and it is what we do.
- RoofsLeak repair and resealing on any RV we take. Roof replacement on rubber roofs and Airstreams. Van, fiberglass, metal or composite roofs on other RVs go elsewhere.
- Hail and bodyAluminum and metal skin is our work, including Airstreams. Fiberglass needs a fiberglass body shop.
- Engine, transmission, chassisA truck or chassis shop. Not us.
- Warranty and recallsThe manufacturer's dealer network, so the manufacturer pays.
- Can't tow it inA mobile technician. We work in our shop only.
