I recently was in Ajo, Arizona at a RV Park when getting up to get on the road,I noticed a flat front tire.I have no mounted spare but have an unmounted one for emergencies. It was a Sunday. So, I called Coachnet for a service call. They told me that they would send a roadside repair truck from Phoenix at their expense,and that they would fix the tire onsite, but.......once they got there I would have to pay the labor for the tire repair ($150.00 per hour weekend rate) Hmmmm. seems a little pricey! Is this normal for ERS to charge for the flat repair?
End to the story was that I declined and waited til Monday AM and took it to a service center down the road ( I aired it up and drove straight there, no problem)
Yes, that's standard ERS practice. They pay for the road service call, you pay for the parts and labor required on site. A routine remove the flat and install an aired up spare is usually included in the covered service call rate.
Yep and why I spent the extra money in getting a spare wheel along with the spare tire. Yes the entire setup (tire and wheel) cost me about $400, but I will not have to pay the $150 to mount the spare tire on a wheel and I will also not have to wait for them to find me a very overpriced spare tire.
