I took my travel trailer to this shop based on there really good reviews and professionalism. The repair was to fix the corrugated siding on the trailer because the wind on the highway pushed it out. The repair meant taking off both the front trim moldings and the front door and window. When they said it was done everything was put back without any sealant and the trim had no sealant and not even and had huge gaps. They said they would make the repairs right. They left the floor dirty from there repairs and there was glass on the floor and the window blind was damaged.Till this day it’s nothing is fixed right and the door leaks and as a huge gap at the bottom. Beware of taking your rv here and there work. Very unprofessional work

As a customer I felt taken advantage of and cheated. I took my Rv to Almaden Rv because my water tank wasn’t filling up. I assumed it was a fill line that came loose. When I dropped it off I was told it would be around a $500 job. The tank was dropped and a cracked line was replaced. Then they noticed that my tank levels weren’t reading correctly. I have always had a problem with this and thought it would be okay for them to try to fix it. My van is still under warranty and the firefly system which controls everything has always been a problem. I was hoping that would be the problem and we could get that replaced under warranty. After a few weeks of diagnosing the problem they told me it was just the sensor and they could get me a new one for $80 plus a few hours of labor. I didn’t really care if the tank sensors worked but thought they took the time to figure it out I might as well pay them. This was a mistake. The few hundred more job turned in to $1k additional making my bill $1600 for essentially a new water fill line. Here is the kicker. I picked up the van and I assumed everything was done. Took it home and a few weeks later was preparing for a trip when I realized the water didn’t work! I also noticed that the water tank was loose and moving around, there were trim pieces sitting in a pile from a panel that they had taken off, some spare parts I had in the utility cabinet were removed and never put back, and generally unfinished work. I took the van back to them after the trip to get the tank put back the way it was and to figure out why I wasn’t getting water to the coach. I assumed it was a valve that they forgot to turn back on. When I dropped it off I turned the pump on. We could hear it working but no water. After a while of not figuring it out they came to the conclusion that my water pump was intermittently working. They called me and told me this was the issue and replaced the pump. I was under the assumption they would okay any work provided and was taking the van back for them to fix the issues they created. I ended up with another $700 bill. So a broken water fill line that was going to be a $500 job turned in to a $2300 bill. I feel taken advantage of and won’t be back which is a shame. I want to like and support this place but it would be insane to put myself in this situation again.

I ended up not doing work with them. But that is because they were very honest in helping me make my decision to potentially upgrade rather than do the fix. Basically, I would refer to them because they were honest and didn't upsell or bait and switch like people can be tempted to do. Thank you guys!

I purchased parts for my RV refrigerator. Prices were higher than I found online but I didn't want to wait for shopping. Parts workers were incredible. Very helpful and nice.

We were on the road heading home (projected through 115 degree Phoenix) and had electrical issues that threatened to leave us with no power with 2 kids and 3 dogs. They worked with us (and our mobile RV tech) and ordered a part ahead of our arrival and got the part swapped out as we passed through town. They were so kind and patient every time we called. Even the technician that passed us in the parking lot cheerfully greeted us and helped us. Integrity showed through their actions rather than just words.

Almaden RV is by far the best RV service and repair shop I've worked with in the Bay Area. As a small business owner of a fleet of RVs that rent out, Almaden RV has become my go-to shop to get things fixed quickly and properly. I can't say enough good things about the entire staff. If you need work done on your RV, look no further!

I cannot say enough good things about this shop. They are the best ever. Such pleasant people to talk RVs and they have gone above and beyond to fix my rig on my timelines. Exceptional service and affordable rates. If you have an RV, this should be your go to shop.

I had upgraded my dual 12v batteries to 4 deep cell 6v batteries. I was having electrical issues and the retailer thought there was a discharge problem with the generator. I had no idea what to do but was referred to Almaden RV. The owner met me and had every opportunity to sell me some products or services (and I would have just went with it) and make a quick buck but instead showed me that there are still honest companies out there offering honest service. My issue was a switch wasn’t flipped! He wouldn’t take my money for a few minutes of his time but I instead because I valued the years and years of his experience. For future work I will simply drop it off to them knowing I will have nothing to worry about. I HIGHLY recommend Almaden RV!

This place is a waste of time. Warranty repair appointments are 6 (SIX)! months in the future! I can not use my RV without the slide out and they do not have anytime until April 2022!!! I They are over their heads and I would suggest to avoid them!

Very friendly customer service, a total pleasure to work with, would definitely use them again for any future needs.
