Frank & Sons Body Works

Frank & Sons Body Works is a family-owned auto body shop based in Scotia, New York. You bring the motorhome to their shop, where they have built out 42 bays over the years specifically to handle large vehicles.

They work on painting and refinishing, rust repair, collision repairs, plastic repairs, welding and A/C repairs, along with alignments, wheel balancing and full suspension service. Among the vehicles they name motorhomes specifically, and they have a staff member, Bart Skyes, listed as a fabricator, bodyman and motorhome specialist. They serve Scotia, NY, and the Tri-State area.

The shop does not publish a trip fee, hourly rate or diagnostic fee, so ask about pricing and turnaround when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with collision estimates available Monday through Thursday from 1 to 5 PM and no appointment needed for those.

Frank & Sons is PPG Certified, and PPG backs their paint work with what they call the "lifetime PPG Paint Performance Guarantee," covering refinished areas against peeling, cracking and loss of gloss for as long as you own the vehicle. That matters if a motorhome's roof or body panels take sun damage or a parking lot scrape and you want the repair to hold up for years, not just look good at pickup. The business has been family run since 1971, now in its third generation with sons Todd and Scott Plemenik on staff.

Google rates them 4.8 stars from 228 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner near Scotia or the wider Tri-State area who needs body, paint, rust or collision work done on a motorhome, rather than mechanical or appliance repairs.
