When your RV needs repairs, maintenance, or warranty work, your first instinct might be to call the dealership. That makes sense—after all, that’s where many people buy their RV. But what most RV owners don’t realize is that dealership service departments and independent repair facilities serve very different purposes.
At California RV Specialists, our entire business is built around one mission:
to help you care for, maintain, and safely use the RV you already own—not to sell you another one.
Dealerships Sell RVs. We Fix Them.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with dealerships—they play an important role in selling new and used RVs. But their service departments exist within a sales-driven business model. That often means:
- Service bays compete with new RV deliveries and sales prep
- Long wait times for appointments
- Pressure to move customers toward trade-ins or new purchases
- Limited flexibility for non-warranty or older RVs
At California RV Specialists, repairs are our core business, not an add-on to sales. Our technicians work on RVs all day, every day. We don’t have sales targets, inventory quotas, or trade-in incentives. Our only goal is to fix what you have and help you get back on the road safely.
We’re Built for Repairs, Maintenance, and Long-Term Ownership
RV ownership doesn’t end at the purchase—it’s a long-term relationship with your rig. That means:
- Preventive maintenance
- Suspension and chassis inspections
- Roof and structural repairs
- Electrical, plumbing, and appliance diagnostics
- Warranty and recall work
- Safety inspections
We specialize in keeping your RV roadworthy for the long haul, whether it’s brand new or many years old. Our approach is about extending the life of your RV, improving safety, and helping you get the most value out of what you already own.
No Sales Pressure—Just Honest Repairs
Because we’re not selling RVs, you’ll never hear:
- “It’s probably not worth fixing—have you considered upgrading?”
- “This RV isn’t really worth putting money into.”
- “You might want to trade this in instead of repairing it.”
Instead, you’ll get honest, practical advice about:
- What needs to be repaired now
- What can be planned for later
- What’s safety-critical
- What’s optional or upgrade-related
Our job is to help you make informed decisions—not emotional or pressured ones.
We Work With Manufacturers—But We Work for RV Owners
California RV Specialists is proud to perform manufacturer warranty work and factory recalls, including for brands like Grand Design RV. We coordinate directly with manufacturers so RV owners don’t have to navigate that process alone.
As an independent repair facility, we act as a bridge between:
- The manufacturer
- The warranty process
- And you, the RV owner
Our loyalty is to your safety, your RV, and your long-term ownership experience.
Faster Access, More Focused Service
Because repairs are our primary focus:
- We’re structured for diagnostic and repair work
- Our team is trained around service, not sales
- Our processes are designed for RV maintenance and safety
- We’re set up to handle complex repairs dealerships often outsource
You’re not one of hundreds of sales customers passing through a service lane—you’re an RV owner we’re building a long-term service relationship with.

If you want someone trying to sell you your next RV, the dealership makes sense.
