Gillette RV Tech

Gillette RV Tech is an RV repair shop based at 1507 Metz Drive in Gillette, Wyoming. It is a fixed shop, so you bring the RV to it. It does not state any mobile or on-site work, so ask whether it will come to your campsite or driveway before you plan around that. It works on RVs, enclosed trailers, race trailers and LQHT trailers, and describes itself as "driven to be the premier regional and national service leader."

The shop lists furnace and air conditioning, plumbing and tank management, propane and fuel systems, electrical troubleshooting, power converters and inverter chargers, and solar charging. It also works on slide-outs, awnings and slide toppers, window seals, landing gear, suspension, axles, hubs, brakes and hitches, roofing and reseal, collision and storm damage, interior woodwork, appliances, water heaters, refrigeration, and winterization. Its project photos show a roof seal repair, a water heater rupture repair, a ruptured AC line on a Sprinter, and a dual motor landing gear install. It is an authorized dealer for Gen-Y Hitches and Interstate Batteries. A shop that handles the slide-out, the roof seal and winterizing in one place means one trip instead of three.

The shop publishes a shop service rate of $195/HOUR. It does not publish a trip fee, a diagnostic fee, or after-hours or emergency service, so ask about those when you call and get an estimate in writing before work starts. Hours are 8am to 5pm Monday through Friday, and it is closed Saturday and Sunday, so plan a weekday drop-off. It also handles extended service plans, estimates and warranty claims.

The owner, Mike Castellanos, works as an RV tech alongside Josh Cowan, service manager and tech, RV techs Dave Molitor and Wyatt Thompson, and parts and service coordinator Ashley Wilson. No certifications are listed, and no licensing or insurance statement appears, so ask for proof of both. Google rates the shop 4.8 stars from 120 reviews, in the RV repair shop category. Call 307-363-7374 to reach the shop.

This is a good fit for an owner in the Gillette area who can get the rig to Metz Drive on a weekday and wants a published hourly rate before authorizing the work.
