Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair

Gulf Coast Auto & Truck Repair is an auto and truck repair shop based in League City, Texas. You bring the RV to its shop on Highway 3 South, and its contact page says it works on "RVs and Motorhomes" along with cars and trucks, "from mini sub compacts, sedans, SUVs, 1-ton trucks all the way up to class 6 commercial vehicles."

Its listed services cover diesel and gas engine repair, air conditioning repair, engine diagnostics, brake repair, suspension work, electrical repairs, automatic transmission repairs, emission system repair, diesel DEF system repairs, struts and shocks, and alignments. These are general shop services rather than an RV-specific menu, so it is worth asking on the phone whether a particular job, like a slide-out or a generator, is something they handle before you make the drive. The shop says it serves League City and the surrounding Bay Area, naming Texas City, La Marque, Hitchcock, Santa Fe, Alvin, Friendswood, Pearland, South Houston, Houston, Clear Lake City, Nassau Bay, Seabrook, Kemah, Clear Lake Shores, Bacliff, Bayview and Dickinson.

No hourly rate or trip fee is published, so ask when you call what a diagnosis will cost. Hours are Monday through Friday, 7AM to 6PM, and it offers 24/7 towing dispatch if your rig cannot be driven in. The shop has been around since 1982, staffs Master Certified Technicians, and backs its work with "a 100% guaranteed satisfaction warranty." Google rates it 4.9 stars from 1,700 reviews.

This is a good fit for an RV owner in the Houston Bay Area who wants an established local shop for chassis, engine, brake or electrical work, and is willing to call ahead and confirm it can handle the RV-specific job at hand.
