Need Body Work in Southern California

Well, we've almost made it back from the Alaska Motorcade but we will need to have some body repairs performed on our 2008 Nimbus. I seem to recall some postings in the past about reputable body repair shops in Southern California which other Foretravel owners have discovered.

Try as I might, I cannot locate these posts. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Would love to use Extreme, but a trip to Nacogdoches is not in the picture, with our schedule, for quite a while.

Would appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks!

Bob

There is a body shop in Chatsworth called Schiro's Do a search for comments . I drive by it and see many big rigs and motorhomes there.

Temecula Valley RV does warranty work for Foretravel. I went there to have my slide fixed, my refrigerator swapped for a marine unit, my awning fixed, my tv changed to a flat screen. and also had some scratches filled and painted. They do great work.

If Orange County works call Jeff at Premier Motor Coach, 714 259-7555. Just got mine back from them doing light body damage and paint plus a new ATS. They do all types of repairs and are my "go to guys" when I need work dome.
Maury Loomis, owner, is a good contact also. Cell:714 478-1565.
They are located in Santa Ana near the 55 frwy and Edinger.

These are all great tips, folks. Please keep them coming. I need as many options as possible. We're going to have a tight calendar for getting these repairs done between upcoming trips.

Many thanks!

They must be good...their website has a photo of a nice GV320 parked in front.

If you want fiberglass work on the cheap try Brick Woytek in San Deigo at Brick's Marine & Fiberglass Service Cell (831) 421-1498. He fixed several fiberglass dents on my coach with good (not fantastic) results.
