How long have had you had your motorhome in the shop for?I brought my rig in on July 13th for some brake work and a new alternator.It took them 3 weeks to even look at it. Another 8 weeks later, they conceded that they couldn't locate new calipers. It took me 5 minutes of web searching. I gave them the parts and now they are still dragging their feet. They are the only game in town, otherwise I'd go anywhere else.I'd do it myself, but I don't have the heavy equipment for it.

We took ours in to have the heater fixed, and we took it in on October 4th. We got it back on the 21st.that's too long.

We took our C in for some pretty severe body damage after DH hit a deer on the right front fender. They had it from October until February. In fairness, though, we were just as happy for them to have in inside much of that time, and for when it was outside, they winterized it free. And it wasn't exactly during the busiest RVing season.Recently our A was in for a new roof and a few other incidental things, and they got it on Monday and finished up on Friday but kept it another day because they wanted it to dry more and it was raining. In that case, we kept on top of them because we were living in a hotel at $150/day (pet-friendly and with a full kitchen, which we used to save costs). They were pretty efficient because we reminded them daily about the cost of the hotel.

It's time to find another place to do your repairs. When they told you they couldn't find the calipers, that should have been a major red flag.It sounds like they don't want to do your work.I would be moving on.

I find multiple truck repair places within 30 miles of your town. GO TO A TRUCK REPAIR Place not an RV dealer.I leave mine at my truck repair place with a list of items needed. We agree on a pickup date and on that day it has been done. Never longer than one week and that is because I come in without prior appointment and a not in a hurry to get it back.

Judging from post on this site, 12 to 15 months is the normal wait time. :?

It is at a Bergys Truck Repair. They have a large facility with about 20 bays. It just bothers me that such a big place can be so slow and unresponsive. They are the biggest around and seem to be unconcerned about my business. As it stands, they've removed one of my calipers a month or two ago, so I couldn't drive it elsewhere even if I wanted to. Maybe a mobile mechanic could save the day.

Make sure to review the shop at RVSERVICEREVIEWS.COM and help your fellow RVers

Vote with your dollars. Have it towed to a smaller shop who can give you a commitment.

Big shops have lots of daily fleet customers who take precedence over a "fleet of one" recreational use owner.
