Fenders – Collision Repair and RV Care
This is why a specialized RV collision repair shop is so important when you need to repair, maintain or modify your RV.By Perry Mack
We’ve all had at least one or two dings and dents repaired at a traditional collision repair shop during our driving history (well, perhaps I’ve had more than one or two, but that makes up for those of you with a perfect driving history). A traditional collision shop though, isn’t outfitted with the kind of equipment necessary to handle RV collision repairs. Your rig is not only larger than any typical SUV or light truck, it is a mobile home with systems and fixtures that no typical daily driver is equipped with.
This is why a specialized RV collision repair shop is so important when you need to repair, maintain or modify your RV. A shop like Fenders has the equipment and staff to handle these big, important jobs. Their paint ‘booth’ will literally hold a vehicle the size of a dump truck and their shop is designed to handle a fleet of bus-sized RV’s.
“We work on anything and everything, littlest to biggest,” says owner, Norm Cross, “and we specialize in RV repair – something nobody else in the valley does.”
With the talent, knowledge, and equipment to handle any kind of vehicle repair, Fender's has developed a reputation that has customers coming in from all over BC, to have work done that they can’t get done anywhere else. “We built our business around being innovative and creative.”
Fender's offers one-stop shopping to clients and customers by providing mechanical repair, tire service, RV parts and accessories as well as collision repair. They work on all makes and models of cars, RV’s, and light duty trucks, providing you with VIP treatment like their complimentary shuttle service.
Backed by an experienced team of technicians and a lifetime guarantee, Fender's staff ensures that the quality of each repair is 100%. They provide complete mechanical repair for recreational vehicles of any kind, and their team is equipped to diagnose and fix any RV issue and get the unit back into excellent working condition.
Here are some of the specialized services that they offer;
Collision Services
Fender’s collision repairs will have your vehicle looking as good as new again. Their staff makes sure the quality of the repair is a perfect 100%. Using the most advanced technologies, Fender’s is able to properly assess the damage to your vehicle and restore the damaged frame or other components back to perfect condition. If your RV is involved in a collision, not only can they repair any cosmetic damage, they will make certain your RV is in safe mechanical driving condition.
RV Glass Repair & Replacement
Fenders offers high quality, affordable chip repairs or they can replace your glass with a lifetime guarantee against leaks and defects.
RV Restore/Refurbish
Just like our traditional houses, our RV’s eventually need remodelling and restoration. At Fenders Remodelling Centre, they can help you enhance your interior - from cabinetry and furniture, to electronics and flooring.
RV Suspension and Towing
There’s more to your suspension than a set of shocks or leaf springs, especially when it comes to towing. The proper suspension set-up in your truck or RV will ensure safe and easier driving with less wear and tear on your rig (and your nerves).
RV Maintenance & Tires
There’s an old expression, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. However, the caveat to this expression I’ve learned is, “if I don’t maintain it, it’ll break at the worst time”. Stopping in at Fenders for regular maintenance will help extend the life of your vehicle, keep it performing at it’s best and provide you with safer, trouble-free vacations.
And having the right tires are a big part of that. Tires affect your gas mileage, road safety, handling and braking responsiveness. Fenders has tires for everything from trailers and trucks to diesel pusher Class A’s.
RV Accessibility
Whether you’re considering wheel chair access, and/or wider hallways and seating, call Fenders today to find out how they can customize your RV to enhance your quality of life.
Government Inspections
Fender’s is a certified government vehicle inspection facility. With licensed technicians to perform mechanical, structural, pre-purchase, and out-of-province inspections, their all-inclusive service is fast and efficient.
So now you can see, as I did, why Fenders should be at the top of your list when it comes to caring for your RV.
