Meyers Auto Body

Meyers Auto Body is a body and roof repair shop based in Waukegan, Illinois. You bring the RV to its shop for most work, though it will drive out and write an estimate in a remote location for a small fee that gets applied to the repair if you move forward.

It repairs Class A, B and C motorhomes, coach buses, travel trailers, fifth wheel trailers and toy haulers. Its work includes roof membrane replacement, rear cap and wall repair, paint and body work, and Aqua-Hot system service. The photo galleries on its site show full roof tear-offs down to rotted wood and rebuilt rear caps with new aluminum, interior paneling and insulation, the kind of structural damage that water intrusion causes if a roof leak sits unnoticed. It serves Lake County and names Winthrop Harbor, Zion, Beach Park, Waukegan, North Chicago, Libertyville, Vernon Hills, Gurnee and Grayslake, plus anywhere else an owner wants to drive from.

Estimates run $150, credited toward the repair if you go ahead. There is no published hourly rate or stated hours, so ask about those when you call. Body and paint repairs carry a lifetime guarantee unless there are signs of neglect or collision afterward, parts carry their manufacturer's warranty, and roof replacements come with 90 days on parts and labor. The shop says it has been "Serving Lake County with honesty, quality workmanship and a fair price for 35 years," and it has a certified technician on staff for Aqua-Hot systems, which matters if your rig heats its cab or water through a hydronic unit most shops will not touch.

Google rates it 5 stars from 57 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner in or near Lake County dealing with roof, cap or paint damage, or anyone with an Aqua-Hot system who needs a shop that services it.
