Gear it up RV & Marine

Gear it up RV & Marine is a mobile RV and marine service based just outside of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It comes to you. Its service area is North Carolina and South Carolina, and it does not give a radius beyond that. Its mobile work is described as "From across the Carolina's."

It works on the air conditioner, refrigerator, stove, water pump, water tanks, generator, electrical, wiring, lights, plumbing and fixtures. It also lists brakes, base plates, tow bars, hitches, slides, roofing repairs and replacement, vents, winterization, and TV or stereo installation. The only RV type it names is the fifth wheel. Its name and tagline also cover boats.

It does not publish prices, a trip fee or an hourly rate, so ask about the trip fee before you agree to anything. Its hours are Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm, closed Sunday. It says after-hours and Sunday emergency calls are available.

It is "Veteran owned and operated," and its staff has "over 50 years of RV, Boat and shop experience." It does not list certifications, a license, insurance, warranty terms or named technicians, so ask about each one before booking. The business notes that the RV and marine industry has "a reputation of overcharging and up-selling unneeded parts and services," and says it will "operate with complete transparency." Asking for the trip fee and job prices in writing before the tech arrives is the easiest way to avoid a surprise bill.

Google rates it 4.7 stars from 51 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner around Myrtle Beach or elsewhere in North or South Carolina who needs a fifth wheel worked on where it sits, or a traveler stuck with an air conditioner, refrigerator or slide-out problem in the area, and who is willing to ask about prices before booking.
