Repair Shop Wait Times. What was the longest wait?

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 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.

    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.
