Title: Good Mechanic
Post by: Bangorbob on July 06, 2020, 08:42:44 am
Need to replace shocks on PC with 42k miles.  If I were home I would do it myself, but I ain't home.  Anyone know of a good place in Elizabethtown Kentucky to have this done?

I can't help on where, but I do highly recommend HD Bilstein shocks.  You can get the part numbers from my post about it by CLICKING HERE (https://forum.phoenixusarv.com/index.php?topic=3580.msg30529#msg30529)

I have zero knowledge about shops in Elizabethtown but Google is your friend.  I looked for "RV repair" in Elizabethtown (via Google Maps) and quite a few came up.  Many with reviews.

Google- Truck repair, much better option. I bought the shocks on-line and brought to them. I also use HD Bilstein shocks.

Their is a difference in RV repair and someone actually working on non RV type related things.  Most places will not touch the chassis part of an RV.  They will repair other aspects though.  I found a place that would put front shocks on, swap rear inside tires to the front and balance and then alignment.  Wants close to $750 for that.  That to me is a little steep.  BTW, they're the only place I could find or was recommended to me.  Not going get this done.  I will replace front tires and drive home 2k miles and then replace with bilsteins. 

Thanks for the replies.

I lived in Elizabethtown when I was stationed at Fort Knox many years back. I did not have good results with local auto repair shops. Many people at the fort are trainees that will leave soon and not long-term customers. Customer service suffers from that.
