Purdy Collision

Purdy Collision is a collision repair shop at 805 3rd Ave in Galloway, New Jersey, and you bring the RV to it. It has been family owned and operated since 1997. It does collision repair, fiberglass work and refinishing for "RVs, motorhomes, and campers," and it says "Our 14-bay facility and heavy-duty equipment handle everything up to Class A motorhomes."

Frame work runs on a heavy-duty frame machine with computerized measuring, and the frame is measured before any panel goes on. That order matters on an RV, since a frame still out of line will not let a new panel sit right. The shop serves Galloway and across Atlantic County, including Absecon, Pleasantville, Egg Harbor Township, Northfield, Linwood, Ventnor, Margate, Hammonton, and Atlantic City. "Vehicles reach us from further out too, from Cape May, Cumberland, and Ocean counties."

An estimate costs nothing: "Bring the vehicle in and the estimate is free." No RV labor rate or trip fee is published, so ask about both when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Its towing runs during business hours. "If something happens overnight, get the vehicle somewhere safe and call us in the morning."

The warranty is "Our auto body workmanship is warranted for as long as you own the vehicle." On an RV you plan to keep for years, that covers as long as you keep the rig. The shop says "We work with all insurance companies," and its reviews show 5.0 from 1463 reviews. No certification or licensing is named for RV work, so ask about both when you book.

This is a good fit for an owner who can bring a motorhome, camper or RV to Galloway for frame, fiberglass or paint work and wants a free estimate first. A traveler who needs someone to come to the campground will want a different business.
