Mobile RV repair in Garland
Garland sits on the I-635 corridor at the gateway to Lake Ray Hubbard, and the city has anchored east-Dallas blue-collar RV ownership for decades. Our work mix here is heavy on fifth-wheels, toy-haulers, and travel trailers headed out to Lake Lavon, Lake Ray Hubbard, and Lake Tawakoni on weekends, plus retiree-owned Class C and Class A coaches kept in Mesquite and Rowlett storage lots. With Fun Town RV and Holiday World of Dallas both within 10 miles, the rig population skews newer than the regional average and warranty work is a big chunk of the schedule.
What makes Garland different from neighboring Plano or Richardson is the dealer-density factor: when a fresh-from-the-lot Keystone or Forest River trailer breaks in the first 90 days, owners want a mobile tech who can run the warranty paperwork without dragging the rig back to the dealer service lane. We field a steady mix of Schwintek slide failures, factory roof-seam leaks, and refrigerator door-seal callbacks on units less than two years old. Lake Ray Hubbard weekenders and I-30 east-bound traffic to Caddo Lake round out the rest of the call sheet.
What we fix in Garland
Spring hail is the headline issue in Garland. Dallas County logs some of the highest hail-claim frequencies in the U.S., and quarter- to baseball-size stones every March through May leave a steady tail of bent rooftop AC condenser fins, cracked fiberglass front caps, and shattered skylights.
We carry replacement Maxxair vent lids, Dometic AC shrouds, and skylight domes on the truck so most of these jobs finish same-day. A rooftop AC capacitor swap runs $165 to $245 flat, and a new shroud with gaskets is $185 to $245.
Sustained 100F+ summer heat is the slow-burn driver. EPDM and TPO seam tape blisters, slide-out wiper seals harden and crack, and decals bubble across south-facing sidewalls. We run a lot of front-cap reseals at $245 flat, and a complete roof reseal with Dicor lap sealant runs $185 to $385 depending on roof length.
The third category is freeze-week 2021 leftovers. Cracked PEX manifolds, split Shurflo Aquajet pump diaphragms, and ruptured 6-gallon water heater tanks keep showing up as Garland and Mesquite owners de-winterize. A water heater replacement runs $785 to $1,395 flat, and a Shurflo pump swap is $245 to $385.

Common questions Garland RVers ask
How fast can A1 RV Repair land at my driveway in Garland?
Same-day in Garland is the rule when you call before 11 AM on a weekday. Emergency dispatch on active leaks, stuck slides, propane, and total electrical loss runs 2 to 4 hours from the call.
Evening or weekend calls book into the next morning, and we confirm the flat-rate quote on the phone before we leave the shop.
Do you handle warranty work on RVs purchased at Fun Town RV or Holiday World of Dallas?
Yes. Most factory warranties allow mobile-tech work as long as the labor authorization is approved by the manufacturer in advance. We run that paperwork directly with Keystone, Forest River, Jayco, and Grand Design service teams.
You stay home, we handle the warranty claim, and you get a flat-rate breakdown of any owner-pay portion before we begin.
What does a slide-out motor swap cost in Garland, TX?
A Schwintek slide-out motor swap is $385 to $485 flat-rate on most travel trailers and fifth-wheels in Garland. For Lippert Through-Frame Slide gear-pack swaps the range is $485 to $785 depending on access.
Both flat-rates include sync, alignment, and a full open-close test before we leave the rig.
Will you do post-hail roof and AC repair in Garland after a Dallas County storm?
Yes. After a Dallas County hail event we dispatch in Garland, Mesquite, Rowlett, Sunnyvale, and Sachse same-day. We document the rooftop damage in photographs that meet most major insurance carrier standards.
Hail-related work is flat-rate, typically $145 to $485 per roof zone for patch-and-shroud, and we coordinate the claim with you start to finish.
Can you service RVs parked long-term at Cedar Ridge Mobile Home & RV Park?
Yes. Cedar Ridge is on our regular route. We carry Dometic and Coleman parts, Norcold and Furrion appliance kits, and Carefree/Solera awning replacements on the truck.
If you are on a long-term site, we schedule for the time slot that fits your calendar and email a flat-rate quote before dispatch.
Do you do PEX and water-pump repair on rigs damaged in the 2021 freeze?
Yes, and we still see freeze-related freshwater leaks every spring in Garland. We pressure-test the system, walk the lines, replace cracked PEX sections, and swap split Shurflo Aquajet pump diaphragms.
A pump replacement is $245 to $385 flat, and PEX section repair is $145 to $385 depending on access.
What hours do you run service calls in Garland?
Standard hours in Garland are 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday. After-hours emergency dispatch is available for active leaks, stuck slides, propane, and total electrical loss.
After-hours calls add $40 to $75 to the flat-rate, and we quote that up front on the phone before we leave the shop.
Do I need to be at the rig for service in Garland?
No. If your coach is in your driveway, in storage, or at a long-term campground site around Garland, we can run the call as long as we have access and a working phone connection.
We send before-and-after photos of every repair and call you to walk through findings before we replace any parts.
Where the truck parks and how fast we land
The Garland truck stages near the I-635/Walnut Street junction, which puts us inside 25 minutes of Mesquite, Rowlett, Sunnyvale, Richardson, Plano, and the Lake Ray Hubbard shoreline. Same-day windows hold when you call before 11 AM, and emergency calls (active leak, propane, stuck slide, dead converter) get a 2 to 4 hour response.
Extended-area runs to Wylie, Sachse, Forney, Heath, Rockwall, and northeast Dallas typically slot 4 to 6 hours from call. We do not handle chassis, engine, or transmission work on motorized coaches; for those we refer to the Cummins Coach Care location in DFW or the Freightliner/Daimler Custom Chassis network in the metroplex.
