Motorplex

Motorplex is a heavy truck, RV and fleet repair shop based in Auburn, Washington, with a second shop in Spokane. For engine and mechanical repair work on your motorhome, you bring the RV to one of these two shops. If you break down on the road instead, Motorplex comes to you: it runs 24/7 roadside assistance, towing and recovery through its Pro-Tow by FleetEasy division.

The shop handles engine and mechanical repair, inspection and maintenance for large gas or diesel-engine RVs and motorhomes. Its roadside and towing coverage reaches well beyond its two shop towns. Motorplex says it offers "24-hour RV roadside assistance, towing, and recovery throughout Washington State and into Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Southern British Columbia, Canada," which matters if your rig quits on a long haul far from either shop.

No hourly rate, diagnostic fee or trip fee is published, so ask about all three when you call, along with what a tow or roadside call runs before anyone heads your way.

The 24/7 dispatch line is answered by a live person rather than a machine, which is worth something at two in the morning on the shoulder of I-90. Motorplex is part of FleetEasy, a family-owned company that also runs fleet repair and trailer service shops in the region, so the Auburn and Spokane locations have more going on than RVs alone.

This is a good fit for a traveler stranded on the road in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana or southern British Columbia who needs a tow or roadside fix fast, and for an owner near Auburn or Spokane who can bring a gas or diesel motorhome in for engine work rather than needing it done at the campsite.
