Northwest Collision

Northwest Collision is an auto body and collision shop based in Aberdeen, Washington, at 1000 S. West Blvd, phone 360-538-0679. Its main trade is auto body repair and collision restoration, and RV work is a side service. It says it has been "on The Harbor for over 30 years." You bring the RV to the shop.

It lists motorhomes and 5th wheels. Its RV page says there is "often interior damage as well" when an RV has body damage, and it names "seating, cabinetry, plumbing, electrical systems" among the work it does. It also paints RVs and 5th wheels and recharges A/C units, and says you "don’t have to have been in a collision" for the A/C work. Its bays are "large enough for motorhomes."

It publishes no hourly rate, RV job prices or hours, though it advertises 24/7 service. Ask about any trip fee and what an estimate costs before you drive over. The first inspection "may take as little as 15 to 20 minutes," and you get "a detailed report of all the work we have done and all the parts that were used." For an insurance claim, the shop says to "bring your insurance claim number in and we will do the rest." It says to ask about its satisfaction guarantee, which it calls "the best guarantee."

Its Tru-Point Sonic Computerized Laser Frame Measuring System "can reveal hidden (or indirect) damage," and that damage has to be found early in an insurance claim, so this matters for an RV with a hidden frame problem. Guy and Jonna Beaber own the business. It says its team keeps up with "all the required certifications," but it names none and does not state a license or insurance, so ask which certifications apply to RV work. Google rates it 4.8 stars from 140 reviews, under the category Auto body shop. For a tow, it works with No No Tows at 360-532-7351, which it says "can get your vehicle off the street, the side of the highway and into the shop as soon as possible."

This is a good fit for an RV owner who can drive the rig to Aberdeen and wants body, interior, paint or A/C work after damage, especially when an insurance claim is open. It is not a fit for a traveler who needs a roadside or campground repair, since the work it describes happens at the shop.
