Georges Auto Body and Collision Repair

Georges Auto Body and Collision Repair is an auto body shop based in Brainerd, Minnesota, at 12712 Little Pine Road Southwest. You bring the RV to its shop. George Meyer runs it, and he says he has "20 years experience in the autobody business."

The shop describes its work as "Professional RV Motorhome Collision Repair." Its listed services include complete RV and motorhome repair, major and minor collision repairs, refinishing and painting, paintless dent repair, windshield replacement, hail damage repair, and unibody and frame straightening. It also says "Our facilities are big enough to handle all sizes of RV’s," so the RV work is not limited to one size of rig. Its painting work is placed in the "Brainerd Lakes Area."

It publishes no prices, hourly rate or trip fee, so ask about cost when you call 218-828-0091 before you drop the rig off. Weekday hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Weekends are by appointment only. The shop says it works with "all major insurance companies" and will "offer a payment plan for your deductible." That plan spreads out the deductible, which is the part of an insurance claim you pay yourself.

George says he is "a ppg certified refinisher" and that he keeps "up to date on all the latest in my field." PPG certification means training on that paint maker's products, which matters when a repaint has to match the factory finish. The pages name no RV-specific certification and say nothing about a warranty or whether the shop is licensed and insured, so ask about those on the phone.

This is a good fit for a Brainerd Lakes Area owner whose motorhome needs collision, dent, hail or paint work and who can leave it at the shop during weekday hours.
