SOS SERVICES USA

SOS Services USA is a mobile RV tech based in Chula Vista, California. It comes to you, working on rigs in San Diego. No wider service area is listed, so ask when you call whether it will travel to your particular campground, storage lot or driveway.

It works on A/C units, refrigerators, furnaces, water heaters, generators, holding tanks and roofs, on both A/C repairs and A/C maintenance. It services AQUA-HOT and TRUMA systems along with DOMETIC, FIREFLY SYSTEMS, LIPPERT COMPONENTS, COLEMAN, NORCOLD, SUBURBAN, THETFORD, Onan and ATWOOD components, and it works on RVs and trailers. On generators, it recommends an oil change every 100 to 150 hours of operation or once a year, which matters because a generator that sits unused in storage without being run under load can ruin a carburetor.

No hourly rate or trip fee is published, so ask about both before it heads out. It describes its response as "Friendly and Fast service with one call."

The business calls itself "Warranty Repairs" on its Aqua-Hot troubleshooting and maintenance work, which is worth asking about if your system is still under factory coverage. It describes itself as a "Local and veteran small business," and the owner is a US Navy veteran with 8 years of service who says that time taught him how much a repair done correctly matters. Google rates it 5 stars from 31 reviews.

This is a good fit for a San Diego area owner with an Aqua-Hot, Truma or generator problem who wants a small, local operation to come to the rig rather than hauling it to a shop.
