Hilmar is a small town, so the two shops here are general RV repair places that also fix awnings. Independent Automotive Inc. has a 4.6 rating from 94 reviews and handles AC, fridge, and awning work. Cencal RV Repair LLC is smaller but has a perfect 5.0 from 6 reviews and covers roof, AC, fridge, and awning. Both offer chassis and emergency services. If your awning is torn or the motor is shot, call ahead to see if they have the parts in stock. Neither shop does warranty work, so if your rig is under warranty, get pre-approval from the manufacturer before any repair.
There are no mobile awning techs based in Hilmar, so you will need to bring your RV to a shop. That can be a hassle if the awning is stuck out or damaged. If you cannot move the rig, ask the shop if they can recommend a mobile tech from nearby. Also, with 11 other RV repair shops in the area, you have backup if the two local shops are booked. In spring and summer, awning repairs get busy, so call ahead. Ask if they can order the fabric or hardware before you drop off the RV, so you are not waiting weeks for parts.
A small tear can grow fast, especially with wind and sun. If the fabric is ripped, the arms are bent, or the motor sounds like it is struggling, get it looked at. Both Hilmar shops also fix AC and fridges, so you can bundle repairs. If your awning is stuck out, do not try to force it. A shop can secure it or remove it so you can travel. And if you are handy, you can patch a small tear yourself, but a pro repair will last longer. Ask about the warranty on the repair itself, since neither shop does warranty work for manufacturers.
There are 2 shops in Hilmar that repair RV awnings. Both also work on AC and fridges, and one handles roof repairs. Neither is a mobile tech, so you will need to bring your RV to them.
No, there are no mobile awning techs based in Hilmar. The two local shops are fixed locations. If you need mobile service, ask the shops for a referral to a nearby mobile tech.
The average rating is 4.8 stars across the 2 shops. Independent Automotive Inc. has 4.6 stars from 94 reviews, and Cencal RV Repair LLC has 5.0 stars from 6 reviews.
No, neither of the two Hilmar shops does warranty work. If your RV is under warranty, contact the manufacturer for pre-approval before any repair, or ask the shop if they can work with your warranty provider.
