racegirl04 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Hey guys! We are looking for a body shop for our toyhauler. I've tried looking in the yellow pages, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong spot. It has aluminum sides and one side has to be stripped off..and replaced. If I can't find a shop here in town, we have to take it to Weekend Warrior in Upland, California and they're not gonna help with the fuel bill. Anyone know of any body shops who work on 5th wheels and trailers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 As much as I hate to say it, try Unique RV & Auto on Middlegate near Sunset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racegirl04 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Try Johnny walkers RV on Boulder Highway near Flamingo. That's where mine is going. I called them, they said since they don't carry the Weekend Warrior line, unless they are given a credit card number, they won't work on it. They are worried since it is warranty work, they won't get paid by WW. I went ahead and made an appointment at the Upland, Ca service facility (August 7th, if you can believe that) and will keep looking here in town. I'm going to try Pete's recommendation first and then........? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racegirl04 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 It's actually at Wheeler's right now, but we were informed the other day that their body guy doesn't feel comfortable with doing the work that it needs. WTF! I'm so pissed! I don't know if they're just being lazy or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racegirl04 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ed, the entire passenger side needs to be reskinned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroadracer Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Ed, the entire passenger side needs to be reskinned. I know in the morning if they can get it done for you ...was it damaged? or just warped or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racegirl04 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 It bubbled out while we were on vacation and my husband was worried it was going to come apart while driving down the road, so he added screws to about 6 panels. Wheeler's said the siding is separating from the trailer itself. I know the panels have to ordered from WW in California (because of the graphics) I just don't know why Wheeler's doesn't want to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racegirl04 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 I heard the bodyshop manager quit 1 week ago so they might be shor thanded We picked this trailer up in October of '05 and we have had problems since then with the service department. Everytime we would go in for work, the person we were dealing with from the last time was no longer there. Sometimes, while it was in for service, our advisor would quit and then you couldn't get anyone to call us back. It would be in there for 3-4 weeks at a time and when we would get it back, some things were exactly the same as when we dropped it off But without another WW dealer in town, we are kinda at their mercy.

I had the same problem with Wheelers. I finally called Weekend Warrior direct. They informed that ANYBODY can do warranty work (well shop wise) as long as they get authorization first. So I recomend calling Weekend Warrior tell them about Wheelers, and ask for a local shop OTHER than them. They gave me one, and I cant find it, but if I do I will re-post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Rhino Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 OK, found it. I dont know if they do body work, but ... worth a call to see. Let us know how it goes Double Eagle 702 458 4700 Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racegirl04 Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 So did you have this company do work on your trailer, Rob? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rhino Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 No I havent actually used them yet. Weekend Warrior recomended them to me. I certainly will give them a try next time though. I just hate having my TH sit at there lot for months for something that should take 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
