Fast Truck and Trailer

Fast Truck and Trailer is a fleet truck repair and maintenance shop based in Benton, Illinois, with a second location in Mount Vernon. You bring the RV to the shop at 125 Industrial Park Road in Benton, which offers "Drop lot and roomy parking space" for leaving a rig there. It names no service area, so ask whether it will come out to your campground or driveway before you plan around that.

Its work covers "motorhomes & motorcoaches, and camper trailers" alongside pickups and semi-trucks. The services it lists are mostly fleet work: new, recap and used tractor trailer tires, computer diagnostics, DOT Federal inspections, PTO and hydraulics, and road service. Its parts lines include Muncie, Dexter, Energy Suspension, Luberfiner, Mobil Delvac and Interstate Battery. It names no RV house systems such as air conditioning, refrigerators, slide-outs or generators, so ask whether it works on those before you come in.

No hourly rate, diagnostic fee or trip fee is published, so ask about all three when you call. The Benton shop is open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM. It lists "After Hours Service" but gives no details on what that covers. It accepts CB Charge as a third party payment option. The Benton phone is 618-438-8411, and the Mount Vernon shop is 618-244-5010. Illinois safety lane inspections run at the Mount Vernon location Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM, with no appointment needed.

It is a Meritor Service Point and a NAPA AutoCare location. Meritor makes axles and brakes for heavy trucks, so that affiliation speaks mostly to running gear rather than house systems. Chris Prosise is named as operations manager. It names no warranty, licensing or insurance, no RV certifications and no years in business. Google rates it 4.7 stars from 77 reviews, under the category truck repair shop.

This is a good fit for an owner near Benton or Mount Vernon who has a motorhome, motorcoach or camper trailer, wants a shop that also does fleet work, and will confirm the RV work by phone before leaving the rig.
