I have had paint repairs on my travel trailer performed here in the past, and was very satisfied with the results, pricing, and time to complete repairs; however, it seems as though repeat business is not a priority for Rodfathers RV Body Shop.
I had scheduled to have repairs to replace my roof and body side paint damage repaired due to a mishap with tree limb. After scheduling the repairs I decided to upgrade the roof replacement with a product that is better than the original rubber roofing to be installed by my selling dealership, and is not offered by this facility.
I then scheduled a new appointment with Rodfathers for repairs of the body side paint damage. Today they called me to inform me that they would not be unable to perform the body side paint repairs after having the roof replaced at another facility due to the need to remove items on the roof that would be covered by the new roof material. I explained that this would not be the case as all of the work I needed them to do would be below the roof gutters, nothing on the roof radius or top of the roof.
I was then told it would be too complicated working with my insurance company to file supplements, and the differences in labor rates between this facility and the service center doing the roof repair. I might add that they have no idea if there is a difference between the two facilities labor rates; they only have the labor rates indicated for all the repairs on the insurance company estimate, which could be adjusted through the filing of a supplement.
It seems to me that they decided if they couldn't get the entire $12K+ repair job they weren't interested in providing ~$3-4K worth of services to a returning customer.
I said in the beginning I "was" satisfied with my previous experience with this facility; however, based on how they treat a returning customer I can't recommend them or use them again for so much as a black tank valve replacement, but you can decide for yourself. read more
