Just remember to still be cautious. That second shop is also in the business of making money. Understand, a free inspection is about business for them. It creates the potential of a new repeat customer (you) and its the opportunity to find a problem to repair.
Earlier this summer I had to take ours in with issues at the rear tire. The next day they called with a quote of $10,000. They wanted to fix everything and anything they could find. For example, they wanted to do a battery service for $150 because they had a lot of trouble even getting it started to drive it into the shop. Really? After the MH sitting all winter in Saskatchewan it started like a brand new car for me. There was nothing wrong with the batteries. Luckily I am mechanically inclined and blew them off and took it home and did the repairs myself (still have not done anything to the batteries and have gone on two trips since then).
My favorite in my story was the technician telling me how incredibly hot the rim was when he brought it into the shop from me driving it there. First, my rim never really heated up due to the tire issue (I had checked before). Secondly, I arrived there an hour before they even opened and it was a cool morning. Then it was probably a half hour or more before they pulled it into the shop. Plus they apparently had problems getting it started as they said with the batteries. So it was probably a good two hours before it was in the shop.. And the rim was so hot he couldn't hold his hand there? I detect some serious BS.
The important thing is to research before you take it in somewhere. About your possible problems and about the place you're taking it. Not being mechanically inclined makes this even more important. Even a shop you think you can trust will not always be completely honest, like I found out.
