Dan Shavlik’s RV Service

Dan Shavlik's RV Service is a recreational vehicle service center based in Napa, CA, at 156 Camino Oruga #D. Its pages describe work on motor homes. The listing does not say whether it comes to your campsite or driveway or whether you bring the rig to its shop, so ask at (707) 265-6769 before you plan the day.

It lists axles and brakes, wiring and tow packages, appliances, electronic diagnosis, roof and side leak testing, prepurchase checkups, HVAC, awnings, exhaust, sewer connections, suspension, solar panel systems and water filter systems. It describes its work as "first-rate recreational vehicle repairs, maintenance solutions, and upgrades." A prepurchase checkup matters if you are buying a used motor home, because it gets a mechanic's look at the rig before the money changes hands.

No trip fee, hourly rate or job prices are published, and no after-hours or emergency service is stated. Its listed hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 to 5:30, so a weekend breakdown waits until Monday. When you call, ask the trip fee and the cost of the diagnosis, and ask whether any warranty applies, since none is stated.

The business is registered with the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) and certified as a Dometic Service Repair Center, Norcold Service Center and Thor Motor Coach Service Center. Brand certification matters for a fridge, furnace or air conditioner still under a factory warranty. Owner Dan Shavlik worked as a technician for 10 years at Ron Rae's RV Service Center before opening in 1999.

Google rates it 3.9 stars from 36 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner who can bring a motor home to Napa and wants a Dometic, Norcold or Thor appliance serviced or a prepurchase checkup on a used rig. If you are calling from farther away, ask about the trip fee first.
