Ray's Truck Service & RV

Ray's Truck Service & RV is a truck and motorhome repair shop based in Spokane, Washington. You bring the rig to its shop at 727 E. Pacific Ave., rather than it coming to you.

It works on motorhome engines, brakes and chassis, lube and oil filter service, alignments and bearing packs, electrical systems and backup cameras, generators, heat and air conditioning, dashboard lights and gauges, and leveling jacks and air shocks. It is also an authorized Generac shop, which matters if your onboard generator is a Generac and you want someone who works on that brand specifically rather than generators in general. It offers pre-trip safety inspections too, worth booking before a long haul so a problem shows up in the shop instead of on the road.

No trip fee, hourly rate or diagnostic fee is published, so ask about those when you call. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, and it also lists 24-hour towing, with separate numbers for vehicles under and over one ton.

The shop has been family-run since Grandpa Ray started it in his garage on University Road in the Spokane Valley in 1939, and it says "we stand behind our work and we'll do what we can to make it right," which is worth asking about directly: what a warranty covers and for how long. It serves Spokane, Spokane Valley, Eastern Washington, and Idaho. Google rates it 4.3 stars from 89 reviews.

This is a good fit for an owner in or near Spokane who wants a shop with decades of history behind it and can plan ahead for a scheduled repair or inspection, rather than someone needing a tech to meet them at a campground.
