Barnes Collision

Barnes Collision is a body shop and RV repair shop based in Zebulon, North Carolina. It is a bring-it-to-them operation, with estimates by appointment only, so call ahead before you show up.

They work on electrical panels and wiring, A/C units, refrigerators and microwaves, carpet, paneling and insulation, and plumbing for the bathroom, kitchen, reservoir and water and sewer hookups. On the outside they handle paint, striping and decals, fiberglass repair, awning installation and replacement, rubber roof replacements, and hitch and tow bar installations. They also do routine maintenance, checking all systems, recaulking, battery replacement, water pump servicing, winterizing and de-winterizing, plus collision repair including tire blowout damage. They do not perform repairs to engines, mufflers or tires, so keep that in mind if that is what sent you looking.

No trip fee or hourly rate is published, so ask about pricing when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.

Barnes Collision is I-CAR Gold Certified and says it guarantees its repairs with "a lifetime warranty unless otherwise stated," worth asking about on any job you book. Mark Barnes founded the shop in 1991 and still owns it with his wife Julie. Technician Nick Jones has over 20 years of experience in RV repair specifically, which matters if you want the person under your rig to have done this work before.

This is a good fit for an owner near Zebulon who can bring the RV in, especially for body, roof or appliance work, and who wants a shop with a long track record and a named warranty rather than a mobile fix at the campsite.
