Jerome auto shop serving RVs and diesels, open 7 days, with 4.8 stars from 149 reviews.
Full-service RV dealer in Jerome with sales, service, parts, and propane, rated 4.5 stars from 887 reviews.
Generator problems often come down to fuel, spark, or air. Ask if the shop can test under load, not just start it. The Automotive Shop is mobile and open weekends, which helps if you're stuck at a campsite. Bish's RV of Twin Falls is a larger shop with more reviews and a 4.5 rating. Neither advertises warranty work, so if your generator is under warranty, get pre-approval from the manufacturer before any repair. Also ask if the needed part is in stock; generators can need specific filters or boards that aren't on every shelf.
The Automotive Shop comes to you, which is handy for a generator that won't start but doesn't need a major teardown. Mobile techs can handle fuel lines, filters, and basic electrical checks. Bish's RV of Twin Falls has a physical location and handles more complex jobs, including chassis and body work. If your generator needs to be removed or has internal damage, a shop with a lift and more tools is the better bet. For routine maintenance like oil changes, either works. Book ahead in spring and summer, when everyone else's generator is acting up too.

Neither shop lists warranty work as a feature, so call ahead. If your generator is under warranty, contact the manufacturer first to get pre-approval. Otherwise, you may be responsible for the full cost of the repair.
