Silver City Collision & RV Repair

Silver City Collision & RV Repair is a "family-owned and operated" auto body and collision shop in Carson City, Nevada, at 2077 S Lompa Ln. It serves drivers in Carson City, Lake Tahoe, Gardnerville, Dayton, and Reno, and the surrounding areas, and it has been in business since 1979. You bring the RV to its shop.

Most of its work is on cars: body work, dent repair, collision repair, paint for autos and motorcycles, auto glass, and custom and mechanical work. The name and its home page mention RVs, but it lists no RV services, RV types, or RV jobs. Before you tow a rig in, ask whether it has done slide-out, roof, or appliance work on a motorhome or trailer.

It publishes no hourly rate, trip fee, or RV price, so ask for those when you call. It does offer "free estimates for all services." Its only stated warranty is a "Full Year Guarantee" on headlight restorations, which it advertises at half off with no dollar figure. Hours are 9 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 12 PM Saturday, and closed Sunday. No after-hours or emergency service is listed.

It lists "I-CAR certified technicians," certified welders, and "Spies Hecker certified painters." I-CAR is a collision repair training organization, so that credential speaks to body work more than general mechanics. It does not state a license or liability insurance, so ask for both. It says it can "work with you during the claims process," which helps if your damage is an insurance claim.

This is a good fit for an owner around Carson City or Reno with body, paint, or dent damage on a car, truck, or motorcycle who can drop it off during weekday hours. An RV owner with a slide-out, roof, or appliance problem should ask first whether the shop has done that work on a rig like theirs.
