I was backing our motorhome into the backyard after the NASCAR race in April. I did not like the angle of my approach and tried to adjust it. In doing so I ripped the last four feet off the back of the coach.:mad: I was so pissed at myself I could not believe it.
After cleaning the coach out we took it over to Giant RV in Montclair for an estimate. I told Mario (service guy) this was coming out of my pocket not an insurance company's. Three days later I get a fax telling me they wanted $17,368.24 for the repairs.:eek: I almost lost my lunch. It took me two hours to get calm enough to call this POS. When I told him I was picking the coach up, he sounded confussed and did not want to leave the keys with the sales manager for a "late" pickup (6 PM).
I contacted a company called The Paint Department in Chino for an estimate. They do NICE work! I arrived after they closed and the owner, Dave, came out walked around the coach and said "hmmm, you sure do good work, hahahahah". I have a pretty good sense of humor and took this in stride. After the $17,368.24 quote I received from Giant RV, I was thinking $10,000.00. He himmed and huad for a minute (every second took an hour off my life) look at me and said..... It won't be more than $1,700.00. I about shat myself! These guys are some of the best in the business. The Paint Department (http://www.thepaintdepartment.com/)
Giant RV had five older (60 to75) people in getting work done there yesterday. I hope they were not being screwed as hard as Giant tried screw me.
Stay away from these guys!
