The 5 Benefits of Mobile RV Repairs vs. Dealership Repairs 
by: The Wandering Wrench

 

Let's face it: Getting an RV dealership to complete a repair on your RV sometimes feels like being on a hamster wheel.

It's a terrifying process, from the time it takes to get the RV into the dealership to packing it up and driving it there to the unknown of what happened to your RV while it was in the shop.

But imagine never having to leave your home or campground; a skilled technician explains the issues and allows you to be present while repairs are made.

You've decided to get an RV. Maybe you live full-time in your rig or enjoy being a weekend warrior. No matter how you use your RV, you will undoubtedly need repairs, often at the most inconvenient times. Now you have a decision on how to handle getting that repair done so you can continue to enjoy your RV. You could try to DIY the repair, but not understanding your RV's systems can cause additional problems. You can contact your dealership and see when they can "fit" you into the schedule. The average time an RV will sit at a dealership waiting on repairs is 34 days. The best solution is a mobile RV repair service, but what is the benefit of using them over the dealership that sold you the RV in the first place?

 

1. They Come to You

Imagine the convenience of not packing up your entire RV or driving it to the dealership. How much time and hassle would that save you? Mobile RV services come to you, addressing your concerns and allowing you to enjoy your RV without wasting time. 

2. Timely Repairs

A mobile service allows you to schedule repairs faster than at the dealership. Instead of waiting in line for repairs, a mobile RV repair service can work with you to determine a convenient time for completing the necessary repairs. Mobile RV repair services can often schedule you to complete the repairs within a week.

3. Trained Technicians

You can quickly locate professionally trained technicians who have completed rigorous programs to prepare them to offer you the best mobile RV service possible. Do you know if your dealership has trained technicians? You can quickly locate a trained mobile RV technician in your area using the RVTAA tech locator. 

4. Transparency 

Engaging with a professional mobile RV service makes you part of the "team." You are encouraged to participate in the process, ask questions, and seek guidance. This is the most significant advantage of a mobile RV service. You are kept informed throughout the entire process and gain a better understanding of the work being done. When you leave your RV at a dealership, you are left to accept what they say as truth, and sometimes it's simply not the case.​

5. Building a Relationship

Using a local mobile RV repair service builds a relationship you can depend on when you need it the most. Your RV should bring you joy, but unexpected issues can arise. Having a mobile RV technician just a call away will quickly get you back on the road.

So, knowing the benefits of a mobile RV repair service but taking advantage of them for your own RV needs is another. Don't worry, we're here to help.
