tl;dr: Avoid, they are awful.
I've been working with Camper Clinic II / Airstream of Austin for two years following the purchase of our Airstream trailer in 2018.
We had a fine initial sales experience with our salesman, but their finance office was rude at best, insulting at worst. We didn't get the promised followup from our salesman, but we have talked with him by chance encounter multiple times since.
During our purchase walkthrough, the service tech accidentally caused damage to the trailer, and when the repair proved to be an obvious patch to our brand new Airstream, I refused to accept it. What ensued after was an awful extended altercation with the general manager. We managed to finally come to an agreement to trade out of the trailer into another on their lot; we decided to move to a larger Airstream due to their limited inventory and paid the retail difference between the two.
Upon receipt of the new Airstream, it too was damaged by their service department, putting a sizable dent in the frame near the tongue by a forklift. They claimed Airstream did it, Airstream claimed they did it -- Airstream won the argument. Camper Clinic II offered a body filler patch (read Bondo) on the frame...I'm sure this will rust out someday. However, when we received the trailer after that repair, we found black paint sprayed across the front of the Airstream, a dented rock guard (clearly not caused by a rock), and deep scratches down the side of the trailer. I am STILL fighting with them two years later to get at least the latter damage repaired, which according to Airstream means expensive replacement of a large aluminum exterior panel. In subsequent services Camper Clinic II has caused additional damages, including another deep scratch in the rear of the trailer, grease on interior fabrics, and tool marks on interior surfaces. After a two-year-long history of photos, emails, texts, in-person conversations, and attempted repairs, Camper Clinic II is now refusing to accept that they ever caused the damages and is telling me to file on my own insurance.
In addition to the repeated damages to our Airstream, our brakes have failed twice following an axle replacement under warranty. After the first failure I performed a temporary repair on the side of a two-lane road at night with heavy truck traffic. When we returned I insisted that they fix their faulty install, since I had a chance to inspect their poor-quality wiring job first hand. Not only did they not fix their cheap wire splices, they said my temporary repair was fine and didn't touch that either. This was followed by a second dangerous failure in the mountains of Wyoming on our next trip when another of their faulty splices fell apart. This is currently scheduled for repair in November 2020, over four months after I reported the issue to them because their service department is permanently overwhelmed.
These issues are currently under investigation by both Airsteam corporate and a complaint was filed at the Better Business Bureau. Camper Clinic II is still refusing to accept their responsibility for damages, despite the long, documented history, and only after this BBB complaint have they offered to move up the timeline on our faulty brake repair.
Update: CC2 claims their work order absolves them of damages. See attached.
This unethical, incompetent company has been a nightmare to deal with. It is not just an isolated incident. Each time it's something new, from possibly fraudulent claims of warranty repairs (claimed completed, obviously never done), to warranty issues repeatedly ignored, to half-assed, negligent work, to continual damages. I have been stuck in this viscous cycle with them because they are always fixing something they damaged or did incorrectly the time before, and that can't be covered at another dealer unless I want to pay out of pocket for it.
If you mention Camper Clinic II / Airstream of Austin in popular online forums, you'll find they have a reputation of awfulness. Do your research and save the stress. Go someplace else. read more
