Mar-Chet's Auto Repair

Mar-Chet's Auto Repair is an auto service center in Madison Township, Pennsylvania, near Moscow. Auto repair and tires are its main trade, and RV work is one part of it. You bring the RV to the shop. It does not come to your campsite or driveway.

It says it offers "a large variety of RV and Motorhome services, from basic to complex" across Moscow, Hamlin, Lake Ariel and surrounding areas, and it names Springbrook Township, Jefferson Township, Roaring Brook Township, Elmhurst Township, Covington Township and North Pocono among the communities it serves. It lists travel trailers and motorhomes. Its RV work includes generator service, winterization, brakes, electrical troubleshooting and engine diagnostics, but it does not list slide-outs, refrigerators or roofs. Its air-conditioning work covers the truck engine, not the interior A/C unit. Its Heavy Duty Shop has three bays with 14-foot doors, which it describes as "high enough to accommodate any recreational vehicle."

It publishes no trip fee, hourly rate or RV prices, so ask about the trip fee and get an estimate before you drop off the rig. It is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, closed on weekends, and it lists no after-hours or emergency service.

Its mechanics are ASE-certified, which is a test-based credential for auto mechanics, and it is a NAPA AutoCare Center. It says it is certified by Thomas Built Buses and Spartan Chassis, but it does not say what those certifications cover on an RV. It has been doing auto repair for over 40 years. It states no warranty and no licensing or insurance, so ask about all three. Google rates it 4.9 stars from 48 reviews, under the category RV repair shop.

This is a good fit for an RV owner near Moscow, Hamlin or Lake Ariel who can leave the rig at the shop on a weekday and wants generator, brake or winterization work on a motorhome or travel trailer done locally rather than at a dealership.
