Title: Keith Risch Wall of Fame
Post by: GleamB on May 23, 2022, 03:02:58 pm
Just got back from a visit to Keith's new digs.
He has his own bay in an existing repair shop.
He finally has the ability to display his many certifications, and I am enclosing them, here.
For those needing a reliable inspection on their coach, or needing work done by a talented mechanic, there are few who come close to this man.
Let me know if you need more info.

I would think his contact information would be in order.

Maybe someone can convince Keith to join the forum and post on the commercial section.

I suggested he do that on the forum
Maybe he needs help
He told me he now checks the forum occasionally.
All he has to do is type in his name.......
He's looking for someone to help him in the shop
He's a one man show, and you can imagine the phone calls he must get.......
He goes all over the country to do inspections.... just got back from Albany NY
Give him a little time
And be Patient

Just another thought....
I 've been going to MOT ever since Old Town Motors closed shop, about four years now. Always was treated right, good workmanship, fair pricing. Of course, Keith was there, then.
Lately, it just seems to me that they are motivated by the dollar sign sign, more than before.
When you see the $160/hr sign in Eric's office, just realize that I had two, or more, men working on my coach. So.......oh, you can do the math.
They are almost finished building a big, new facility across the street. Renovations will take over the existing shop /sales area, and all repairs will be done at the new facility. Gotta pay for it, somehow....???? 
Not a whole lot of options. Tiffin won't work on their units over 10 years old.....or was that Newmar???
Very few Foretravels for sale at MOT. Lots of the other boys. Must tell you something.
I could be wrong.
