Shipley's RV Service

Shipley's RV Service is a mobile RV tech and shop based in Lindale, Texas. It has technicians on staff who come to you, or you can bring the RV to the shop at 19400 U.S. Hwy 69 N. Mobile service covers roof repairs, electrical, HVAC, plumbing and general maintenance wherever the RV is parked, and the shop handles everything else, including the black tank work it prefers not to do roadside.

It works on motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels and toy haulers, and takes on warranty repairs for Keystone and Forest River. The systems list runs long: 12-volt and 110-volt electrical, solar and lithium battery setups, water heaters, toilets and macerator systems, slide-out seals and mechanisms, roof replacement in EPDM, TPO, fiberglass or rubber, hydraulic leveling jacks, and appliance repair for fridges, microwaves and ranges. The mobile side covers any location within 35 miles of the Lindale shop, including Hideaway, Tyler, Mineola, Van, Hawkins and Big Sandy. Black tank repairs done at your location run time and a half with a minimum of 3 hours labor, since the shop is the preferred spot for that job.

No hourly rate or trip fee is published, so ask about both when you call; estimates are given by phone based on the scope of the work. It does not do chassis work or RV storage. Hours do not include weekends or 24 hour service, by the owners' own choice, favoring a steadier schedule for the crew.

The business has been running over 15 years, started by Brian Shipley, and backs its labor with a 90 day warranty. It is recommended by Trails End RV Camp in Flint and Tyler Oaks RV Resort in Tyler.

This is a good fit for an owner near Lindale or Tyler who wants a shop that will also come to a campsite for the common repairs, and who does not mind calling ahead for a price instead of finding one listed online.
