Interstate Motor & Auto Service

Interstate Motor & Auto Service is an auto repair shop based in Charlotte, North Carolina, at 9800 Newell Hickory Grove Road. It is a fixed shop, so you bring the RV to them rather than the other way around. The business describes itself as "family owned and operated business with family values."

Alongside its car and truck work, which covers brakes, AC, transmission, alignment and electrical repair, the shop lists RV repair and maintenance as one of its services: "Trust your recreational vehicle's repair and maintenance to the experts at Interstate Motor & Auto Service." It also runs a second line and location, at 8533 Old Concord Rd under the name Newell Service Center, which handles Penske trucks and Cruise America RV rentals and has its own phone number, 704-921-4844. It names Charlotte, UNCC, Harrisburg, Mint Hill, Northeast Charlotte, Concord, Huntersville, Charlotte Motor Speedway and Caldwell as its service area.

No hourly rate or trip fee is published, so ask about cost when you call. The shop offers after-hours drop-off for anyone whose schedule does not line up with its hours, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5:30pm, closed weekends. It also runs ongoing coupons: a free brake inspection and tire rotation with any oil change, a free brake inspection with a tire rotation purchase, and a free fluid top off and 20 point safety inspection with an oil change.

The shop has been in business since 1991 and says it has ASE certified technicians on staff, a credential worth knowing when a shop takes on work as varied as RV systems. It backs its work with what it calls "a guarantee you can take to the bank." Google rates it 4.6 stars from 59 reviews, with one reviewer naming techs Chris and Beaver.

This is a good fit for a Charlotte area owner who wants one shop for both the tow vehicle and the RV, and who can drop the rig off rather than needing someone to come to them.
