RV Collision repair in So Cal

So, I've got a little sheet metal damage on the side of my travel trailer. Scraped it on a tree branch.

Anybody have experience with an good RV collision shop?

If it was fiberglass I'd tell you to take it to my friend. He's done a few of those for friends cheap.

Have an appointment for tomorrow at El Monte RV in Santa Fe Springs. That anomaly right there should raise a red flag - I mean, they don't even know where they are.

Why don't you take it to a body shop you trust, rv repair is a lot easier than auto repair.

Well, El Monte was a bust. Had an appointment for 7 AM, by 8:30 the guy hasn't shown up for work, and no one else can help me. That was enough for a not-so fond farewell.

It's a very nice looking place, but I think rental RV's are what they really want to do, and everything that I saw in their shop looked like their own coaches torn up by renters. At this point I don't believe they really care about working on my trailer.

Trying Snell's tomorrow.

This ended up with Snell's in El Monte doing the work. I approved the work on a Tuesday, and it was done that Friday, although I didn't pick it up until today. It was a $2,100 job. I cannot find anything wrong with the workmanship.

Nothing to see here, please return to your homes.

Thank you.
