Advance RV Service

Advance RV Service is an RV and trailer repair shop based in Advance, North Carolina. It works on rigs brought to its shop and also sends a mobile RV tech out for on-site work, covering central and western North Carolina.

The shop handles everyday maintenance and the complicated stuff: mechanical, electrical, plumbing, appliance and structural repairs, generator and converter work, slide-out diagnostics and repair (manual, electric or hydraulic), roof replacement and leak repair, solar and lithium battery installs, and axle, brake and bearing work. It also builds custom interiors and specialty trailers, from tailgate rigs to mobile pet-grooming and retail trailers, and services utility, cargo and horse trailers alongside RVs and motorhomes.

No trip fee, hourly rate or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about those when you call, along with whether a mobile visit fits your situation. The shop is open Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm, and lists emergency and mobile service beyond that.

Scott has run the shop for over 30 years and it carries authorizations that matter when something specific breaks: Alliance RV authorized service center, Dexter axle dealer, Lippert Components authorized retailer, and the only Epoch Batteries authorized dealer and installer in North Carolina. Those authorizations mean warranty work on those brands can often be done here instead of waiting on a dealer slot.

Google rates it 4.7 stars from 16 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner near Advance or anywhere in central or western North Carolina who has a slide-out, roof, electrical or appliance problem that a general shop has struggled to diagnose, or who wants a custom build done by someone who also handles the day-to-day repairs.
