Dave's Super Service

Dave's Super Service is an auto repair shop based in Hancock, Michigan, at 112 Front St. Its main trade is car and truck repair, and you bring the RV to the shop. Its named service area includes Hancock, Houghton, Calumet, Lake Linden, Chassell, Copper Harbor, Eagle Harbor, Mohawk and Toivola.

It says, "Trust your recreational vehicle's repair and maintenance to the experts at Dave's Super Service." The RV work it describes is a pre-trip inspection, which is worth booking before a long haul, and expert services for trailer hitches, wiring and tires. No RV types, brands or systems such as slide-outs, refrigerators or generators are named, so ask about those directly.

No RV rates or trip fee are published, so ask about the trip fee when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday 6:00AM to 7:00PM, Saturday 8:00AM to 6:00PM and Sunday 9:00AM to 2:00PM. The shop offers free local pickup and delivery for repairs by appointment, plus after-hours drop-off at its Hancock location, so ask whether either covers an RV. Its 24 hour towing is described for cars and trucks, so ask whether a tow will move your RV.

It has been in business since 1966, and it stands behind its work with "a guarantee you can take to the bank." No certifications, licensing or insurance are named, so ask about those before you book. RVTI and NRVTA are the RV technician certifications, so it is fair to ask whether anyone who would work on your rig holds one. Google rates it 4.5 stars from 195 reviews.

This is a good fit for an RV owner around Hancock and Houghton who can bring the rig to the shop and wants a pre-trip inspection or trailer hitch, wiring and tire work. It is less suited to a traveler who needs repairs done where the RV is parked.
