TLDR
A body shop actually built for coach sized vehicles, with a booth sized for full length Class A motorhomes and refinish completed in house rather than sent out.
About RV Body Shop in Newport Beach
An RV body shop repairs dents, panels, bumpers, and body structure on vehicles too large for conventional automotive shops. OCRV Center serves Newport Beach with a booth sized for full length Class A coaches and in house refinish.
The reason most automotive body shops decline RV work is not skill, it is geometry. Their booth was built for a sedan, their lift was rated for three tons, and their bay is twenty four feet deep. A forty three foot coach does not fit any of those. Our shop was laid out for exactly this: a paint booth sized for full length Class A motorhomes, bay depth for the longest fifth wheel, and yard space to stage vehicles without blocking production. That is what makes a body repair on a coach a routine job here rather than an exception.

Insurance Notes
Panel estimates written from photographs routinely miss mounting point and substrate damage behind the panel. We open it and document before quoting so the supplement goes in early rather than at the end.
We bill direct with every major carrier and hold direct repair relationships with several. Read how the claim process works or the 25 things carriers do not tell you about RV and van claims.
