The local fridge option
Novato Auto Service is the one shop in town that lists RV refrigerator repair, and it also handles awnings and chassis work. Its 4.9 rating across 255 reviews suggests a shop that has seen plenty of rigs roll through. Call ahead with the make and model of your fridge, since parts for older absorption units can take time to source. Ask whether they test the cooling unit and the board before quoting, and whether the work is done in the bay or outside. One shop means one schedule, so a few days' notice helps in spring and early summer.
Nearby help
If Novato's shop is booked, the wider area has options. Eleven more RV repair shops sit within reach, which gives you room to compare. Traveling techs are not listed in this set, so plan on dropping the rig off rather than getting a driveway visit. Ask about turnaround time and whether the shop keeps common parts in stock. A dead fridge in summer is usually a cooling unit or a control board, and either way the part has to be on hand. Confirm the diagnosis fee up front so there are no surprises on the bill.
Mobile versus shop work
Refrigerator repair is a shop job more often than not. Techs need power, a place to pull the unit, and time to let it run and confirm the temperature holds. A mobile tech can check power, fuses and vents at your site, but a failed cooling unit usually means hauling the fridge out. If you are parked at a campground near Novato, ask whether the shop will do the diagnosis first so you only tow the rig in when the repair is confirmed. That saves a trip and a hookup fee.
