RV services in Sarasota
Eight kinds of work, in the order a rig meets them each season. Every one ends the same way: a written sheet, with the things we didn’t do written on it too.
On the rig and on the road
The work, stop by stop
If you’re not sure which of these you need, you need the first one. The inspection tells you what the rig actually wants.
On the rigPre-trip inspection
Roof to tanks in a fixed order, three or four weeks before you leave. You keep the log.

On the rigRoof & sealants
Every vent, fan and A/C flange checked one by one. You get a count, not a guess.

On the roadTires, bearings & brakes
Tire age from the date code, pressures from axle weight, bearings repacked with new seals.

On the rigLP & appliances
Leak-down on a gauge, regulator pressure, then the fridge, furnace and water heater run.

On the rigElectrical & batteries
Batteries load-tested one by one, the charger checked, the fault traced from the source.

Bulb and wiper seals cleaned and treated, the room run in square, rails and rollers checked.

The ATVs and side-by-sides that ride in the back, and the trailer that carries them.

Powersports & toy haulers
ATV and side-by-side service in Sarasota
The machines that ride in the back of the toy hauler get the same treatment as the rig: measured, written down, and nothing sold that isn’t due.
- Belts and clutches. A CVT belt is a wear item, and a clutch housing full of belt dust slips. Cleaned, measured, replaced when it’s due.
- Filters after dust, oil after water. Cross something deep and water gets into the diff and gearcase. We check, and leave good oil alone.
- Fuel that sat. Ethanol fuel varnishes the jets over a summer. We start at the fuel system, not the engine.
- The trailer that carries them. Ramp door, tie-downs, and the axles that just took the extra weight.
Second opinions
What we won’t sell you
Every one of these was quoted to somebody who then brought the rig here for a second look. None is hard to check, which is why we publish them.
Six tires on tread depth
If the date codes are recent and the sidewalls are clean, tread isn’t a reason. Age is. We read you the codes.
A full roof reseal for two bad vents
Sealant is inspected penetration by penetration. Two bad ones out of six is two jobs.
A matched pair of batteries
If the good one is close in age and the same chemistry, replacing one is correct.
A tank treatment to fix a sensor
Residue bridges the probes. No bottle fixes that for good, and we won’t sell you one every season.
Grease through a zerk as a “repack”
A repack means the hub comes off and the races get looked at.
A new board for a sail switch
A furnace that runs the fan and never lights is usually airflow, not electronics.
How pricing works
The price in writing before anything is opened
- Diagnosis is charged as time, and we tell you what we found even when nothing is wrong.
- Parts and labor hours go on the estimate before anything is opened, ordered or fitted.
- If the job turns out smaller, the invoice is smaller.
- If it turns out bigger, you get a phone call before the extra work, not a surprise at the counter.

Start with the walk
The inspection tells you what the rig actually wants. It’s the only honest answer to a question nobody can answer over the phone.
