Jim’s Truck & Trailer Coachwerks

Jim's Truck & Trailer Coachwerks is based in Winona, MN, at 1269 Breezy Ln. Its main trade is "major collision repair and custom painting/design," and it also works on RVs, buses, trucks and trailers. You bring the RV to the shop, so plan on driving or towing the rig to Winona.

For RVs, the shop lists RV maintenance, generator repair on Onan units, Aqua Hot heating system repair, A/C repair, electrical and mechanical repair, glass replacement, fire and water damage, interior remodeling and suspension work. The RV types it names are fifth wheels, toy haulers and camper trailers. It will repair "all makes and models of trucks, trailers, coaches, transits and recreational vehicles."

No prices, hourly rate or trip fee are published. Its estimate and repair cost answers say only "Contact Our Team for more information and to get a quote," so call first and ask whether there is a trip fee. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30AM to 4:00PM, and no weekend or after-hours service is listed. The phone is (507) 452-1294, and the toll free line is (800) 264-1294.

The shop lists "Certified Technicians" for its A/C, generator, Aqua Hot and mechanical work, and says its "licensed technicians" handle electrical, A/C, glass, generator and general mechanical repair. A certification name tells you what training stands behind the work, so ask which one applies to your system. No warranty is stated, so ask for the terms in writing before work starts. The shop also offers RV storage in "heated indoor bays" for a large RV, fifth wheel, toy hauler or camper trailer.

This is a good fit for an owner in or near Winona who has a fifth wheel, toy hauler or camper trailer needing generator, Aqua Hot, A/C or body work, and who can get the rig to the shop on a weekday. It also suits an owner who wants heated indoor storage close to home.
