QUALITY RV

Repairs

Whether performing RV maintenance or repair, the mechanics at Valley Auto can get your coach ready for the season with a Road Performance Assessment – RPA®, which helps point out the quality of ride, handling and control. We also do private recreational vehicle inspections, first-time registered for BC inspections, and RV pre-purchase inspections.

As an exclusive Canadian dealer for SuperSteer, Roadmaster, Banks Power & Workhorse, we guarantee a knowledgeable technician is installing quality parts on your RV. The Valley Auto & RV Repair mechanics also provide the following services and maintenance for your recreational vehicle:

ROAD PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT CENTER (RPA®)

Valley Auto is an Authorized RPA Certified CenterAn RPA® consists of an indepth road test with you, the owner, and a certified RPA Valley Auto technician who performs a systematic, diagnostic road test together with a 50 point inspection. This helps point out the quality of ride, handling and control. This includes: suspension, steering gear, tire wear, shock absorbers, tie rods, idler arms, kingpins, ball joints, bushings and much more. During the road test you will be able to feel how the motorhome reacts to certain conditions; this gives you a baseline to work from if repairs and upgrades are done. Issues like sway, bounce and wander are common, but also easily cured by optimizing weight distribution and making a few well-conceived upgrades to the suspension and/or steering system.

Ready to get started? Valley Auto is an Authorized Road Performance Assessment Center. Ask one of our service advisors to schedule an RPA® for you and your coach today.

CHASSIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS

Chassis power is a vital system. The Chassis electrical system is supplied by the builder of the chassis, which may be Ford, Workhorse, Freightliner, Spartan, etc. The coach battery system is used to provide lighting, run fans, power the fresh water system water pump, and other accessories typically used when parked rather than driving. The battery bank for the coach is separate from the chassis. RVs also have a number of 120 volt AC items in them. Items such as hot water heaters, air conditioners, and microwave ovens are too large to run from battery power.

At Valley Auto & RV Repair we understand the importance of ensuring that all Chassis Electrical Systems are working properly and in part, have come up with a regular maintenance program so when you are ready to hit the road, so is your RV!

RV BRAKE REPAIR & SERVICE

A motorhome that won’t start is an inconvenience, but a motorhome that won’t stop is dangerous! Motorhomes will typically have hydraulic brakes used on the smaller units and air assist brakes for the larger diesel pushers. At Valley Auto & RV Repair, we offer a comprehensive RV brake repair and service package that includes checking brake pads, rotors, master cylinder, brake/hydraulic fluid, brake drums, rotors, Hydraulic system, Air brake system and brake hardware.

RV COOLING SYSTEMS

A motorhome with a properly working cooling system will circulate coolant throughout the radiator and engine. This will reduce the motorhome’s engine temperature to protect it from damage caused by heat. If the cooling system does not function properly, critical engine parts can fail. We offer diagnoses, service, and repair for all Class Motorhomes. Our certified technicians know the importance of a properly working cooling system.

RV BATTERIES & CHARGING SYSTEMS

Are you seeing the service charging system alert on your RV dashboard? Expect the problem to be in your alternator, or battery. Like other things in life, motorhome batteries & charging systems have changed over the years. With complex electrical systems becoming the norm, they are not an option, but a necessity. The Valley Auto & RV repair certified technicians have the experience and know-how to service batteries and charging systems and we will have your motorhome up and running and ready to enjoy!

CHASSIS HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING

Don’t take your Chassis heating and air conditioning systems for granted. Don’t wait until that cold winter day when your hands freeze on the steering wheel, or on a long road trip in the summer. Your Chassis heating and cooling system needs regular inspection and maintenance to keep it working all year round. Whether you need repair, require preventative maintenance or are facing trouble with your RV, give us a call and we will have one of our certified, experienced technicians take a look, get it repaired and get you back on the road.

RV EXHAUST SYSTEMS

Your exhaust system is more than a muffler. It is a series of pipes that run under your motorhome or vehicle connecting to your muffler and catalytic converter. The exhaust system controls noise and funnels exhaust fumes away from passengers. Many RV exhaust issues are easily identified through routine maintenance and regular inspections of the exhaust system components. Visit Valley Auto Repair today for a complete and custom exhaust system service.

RV FUEL INJECTION

The fuel injection system monitors and regulates the fuel provided to your motorhome’s engine when you press the gas pedal and requires regular maintenance to continue properly distributing gasoline for the combustion process. Without the right pattern, fuel may remain unburned, causing rich conditions in the engine.

Rough Idle, Decreased Fuel Economy, Poor Acceleration, Poor Performance, and stalling are all signs of clogged injectors. Schedule a complete fuel injection system check with one of our certified technicians today!<

RV GAS & DIESEL ENGINE

Does your RV emit a lot of exhaust smoke? Does it idle rough or stall? Do you hear knocking noises or is a check engine light on? These are just some of the issues that can occur that is a warning that its time to have your gas or diesel engine checked. Our certified technicians have years of experience on both gas and diesel RV engines, and are able to deal with any type of repair or replacement.

RV OIL CHANGE

Completing an oil change on your motorhome is one of the most important motorhome maintenance procedures to prolong the life of your engine. At Valley Auto & RV Repair, we offer a complete oil change service for your Class A, B and C motorhome engine and gas or diesel generators.

RV PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION

A pre-purchase inspection is highly recommended if you are buying a used motorhome. You are assuming all the risk, so an inspection only makes financial sense. Our Pre-Purchase Inspection process covers the RV’s body, electrical system, engine, warning lights, cooling system, steering and suspension, fuel system, exhaust system, wheels, tires, brakes and a road test.

RV STEERING & SUSPENSION

Motorhomes can benefit from steering and suspension repairs and upgrades. Our certified Technicians have years of experience in refining motorhome suspensions, including correcting alignment issues, adjusting ride heights, and adding stabilizer bars, steering stabilizer shocks, performance shocks and air bag systems. Why settle for a mediocre RV driving experience when you can have the best!

RV TIRES & TIRE REPAIRS

Motorhome tire repair and replacement is often the most neglected component of motorhome maintenance. As much as you don’t want to invest in a new set of tires, needing a tire repair before reaching your destination is a whole lot more aggravating. We understand the demand your motorhome tires face on road trips. Before you embark on your next road trip, visit us for a seasonal tire inspection to ensure all of your RV tires are in working order.

RV TRANSMISSION SERVICE

Motorhome transmission problems can put a major wrench in your road trip. Valley Auto & RV Repair offers a wide range of transmission services and can rebuild/repair motorhome transmissions for your Class A, B and Class C motorhomes. Call us today to schedule a transmission service!

RV TUNE UPS & MAINTENANCE

Motorhome tune ups & maintenance are a key component to living your best motorhome life. You need to care for a lot of different systems to enjoy motorhome trips and vacations. Regular tune-ups and maintenance are part of a good motorhome maintenance schedule. With proper motorhome tune ups & maintenance, you can hit the road confident that your adventures will not be derailed by preventable problems.

RV WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Wheel alignments help ensure your RV tires are angled correctly, level with the ground, pointing straight ahead, and parallel to each other. Proper alignment angles will help maximize the life of your tires. Wheels can become misaligned by simply hitting road obstructions, like potholes or curbs. Our team of certified technicians will inspect for uneven wear and perform a wheel alignment service using state of the art technology.
