RV repair services involve a lot more than just ordinary automobile services. Technicians are trained to work on RVs, the service bays are larger, they are authorized to perform warranty work, and an RV center may be the only place to get parts that are no longer in common use. There are other reasons for having your RV repaired at an authorized service center, but let’s take a closer look at these four and how they relate to a better RV experience.
Special Parts
Older RVs may require parts that are hard to find. Through years of experience and servicing RVs, a respectable repair center will build a strong network of dealers in RV parts, will be able to contact parts houses directly, and have the experienced staff to install those parts to meet or exceed factory specifications. Whether you want to upgrade your refrigerator or replace damaged siding on an old RV, an established RV center can be the best solution.
RV-Sized Bays
RV repair services should be performed in a shop that can accommodate large vehicles. At an RV service center, the bays are higher, longer, and wider. The lifts are either built for larger vehicles or pits are installed to allow access from underneath. These bays can be used to work on your tow vehicle as well, and that means a one-stop shop for all of your Auto and RV needs.
RV Specialists
Just as automobile mechanics are certified to work on cars and trucks, the technicians at an RV service center undergo specific training related to motorhomes and travel trailers. They can work on the DC electrical systems that run the motorhome or the AC systems that are used in the living area. They know how to work on fresh, grey, and wastewater systems, and have the training and tools to repair your roof, perform appliance upgrades, and much, much more.
Warranty Satisfaction
Just as older RVs benefit from an established RV center’s network of partners and suppliers, newer RVs that are still under warranty may have to be taken to authorized service centers. Failure to use an authorized service center could void your warranty and the benefits it offers. Warranty coverage protects you against problems that are related to factory defects, unexpected device failure, and more. Since RV warranties offer 1 to 3 years of protection, you can save a lot by having repairs made at authorized RV centers.
Backyard mechanics and automotive repair houses don’t have the supply chain, equipment, or certification your RV deserves. The bottom line is that if you want the best repair services you need an RV center that is focused on RV repair and service. Anything else could result in anything from mild dissatisfaction to being stranded along some lonely highway.
