I usually have more confidence in the personal testimonials than the bought and paid for listings in a directory. Therefore, everyone keep the good recommendations coming.

Arrow Stages here in Denver has been a great asset. Gene, Svc Mgr is a good guy and pays attention to details.
EVen let me hang out in the garage.
As said prior, we have had good experiences with Craig and Todd in the Bus Barn at Stewart and Stevenson in Commerce City Co.,
They are the ones who, recharged our OTR with the R-12 I provided and installed 6 rear shocks for 500 dollars. WE would have put the shocks on, but haven't yet figured out how to get the bus rear in the air.
We will be replacing some Norgren with the spool kits, and Idon't know how we will be doing that yet.,

I also had work done on my bus once at Arrow, they were very cordial, and got right on the job. I would go back there in a heartbeat if in the area and needed work done.

So why do we not have a seperate section with contact #s for bus repair accross the country,where we could share # and names and experiences/It would save time and possibly grief and $$$$/plus trying to go back thru months of misc. posts is a drag//just my nickels worth/joe

We have always owned a Prevost and currently are proud owners of a 1985 Le Mirage. Our passion for Prevost stems from our ability to work on them in every aspect....mechanical, electrical and cosmetic. Our facility is Commonwealth Coach, Inc. #804-541-0018 located in Hopewell, VA - just minutes from Richmond. Check out our website: cwcoachworks.com.

This is a very helpful thread. Wish I could contribute a shop but the only one I would recommend at this time is the Liberty factory/dealership . But would love to her about shops in south east ,south and south west since we do most of our traveling in those areas. Good luck charms , OCD rituals, and church on Sundays can only carry me so far before I experience the " big mechanical failure" on the road. Keep the posts coming!

I just wanted to second a good experience with Wayne at Colorado Charters. He put on all new rear bags/shocks, replaced a value, engine air bellow along with a bunch of little things. He worked long one day to get us back on the road and did a great job.

I am now looking to see if anyone has any experience with a bus garage in Northern California. We had a hose start leaking some air in the engine compartment that I need someone to replace. Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

I agree with Les, one could conceivably spend as much time weeding through generic companies in a "paid for directory" as it would take on you own from companies on the Internet. It would be very helpful to have our own list of member recommended facilities. I don't think it would be to hard for Jamie to compile the information with assistance from the membership. Jamie, what say you?
