Mead Automotive

Mead Automotive is an auto repair shop based in Blythe, California, and you bring the RV to them. They work on foreign and domestic vehicles, medium and heavy duty trucks, buses and diesel engines, along with RVs.

On the RV side, they cover chassis work including the engine (gas and diesel), transmission, brakes, radiator, hydraulics, turbo, heating and AC, and suspension and air bags. They also handle electrical, including instrumentation, starting and charging, cruise control, and interior RV systems like inverters, solar, AC/DC and generators. On the interior, they service the water system, ranges, ovens, LP, the furnace and heating system, the refrigerator and air conditioning systems. That is a wide span of RV systems under one roof, which matters if your rig has more than one thing wrong at once and you do not want to chase down a second shop.

No hourly rate, diagnostic fee or RV-specific pricing is published, so ask about cost and what it covers when you call. No hours are listed either, so confirm those at the same time.

Mead Automotive holds the ASE blue seal and says, "You will find the best price and warranty in the valley on our engines and transmissions," which is worth asking about directly if your repair involves either one.

Google rates them 4.5 stars from 47 reviews.

This is a good fit for an RV owner passing through or based near Blythe who needs chassis, electrical or interior system work done at a shop rather than on site, and wants one place that can handle both the RV and the vehicle pulling or carrying it.
