Where to get collision repairs performed in Michigan?

I am between Jackson and Chelsea, Michigan. Can you recommend a shop (closer than Holland) that has considerable experience repairing collision damage to a bus-style motor coach? After navigating through parking lots and obstacles (while towing) in six states to and from FL, the right front of my 1999 ForeTravel U295 got hung up on the earthen berm along the side of a parking lot only ten miles from home. It is the worst corner to sustain damage, has skewed the door opening, stairway and air-operated step, as well as FG and lamp damage. This was just yesterday, when I had almost made it home from spending DEC in FL. I feel sick about this and certainly don't want to get more sick due to choosing the wrong repairs shop. wish I were closer to TX because I would have confidence in ForeTravel or Motorhomes Of Texas.

  • Living in southern MI. I would be looking in Elkhart area for a repair shop. There are some good places to get the work done in that area.
  • Perhaps a call to Foretravel might get you name they are familiar with?

    I think the shop name is JD MIchaels, Ann Arrbor/Ypsi area,, Did a good job on my coach when it was new.

    Not sure if Camping World (Van Buren Township) has a collision center or not, Not sure I would want to go there.
