Northside Collision

Northside Collision is an auto body and collision repair shop based in Syracuse, New York, at 1135 West Genesee Street. It is a bring-it-in shop: you drop the RV off there, though pickup and delivery come free within a 45-mile radius of Syracuse.

It handles collision and body work on motor homes, campers, RVs and other recreational vehicles, alongside its fleet and boat repair business. The work on offer includes paint and custom refinishing, dent repair, frame and uni-body repair, wheel alignment, tires, brakes and suspension, so this is the shop to call after a crash, a scrape against a low branch, or a body panel that needs straightening, not a fridge or generator problem.

No trip fee, hourly rate or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about cost when you call. Paintless dent repair, where there is no paint damage, starts "as low as $100." The shop backs its repairs with a lifetime warranty, which matters on body work since it means the fix is expected to hold for good, not just pass inspection once. It is a AAA approved facility, and it has been doing this work for "over 42 years."

It serves Syracuse and the surrounding towns of Liverpool, Baldwinsville, DeWitt, Cicero, Camillus and Eastwood, with a Fleet Repair Center at its Cicero location that is set up to handle larger rigs. Google rates it 4.2 stars from 100 reviews.

This is a good fit for an RV owner who needs body or collision repair done right, and who can get the rig to the shop or within delivery range of Syracuse.
