Here is what you need to know before you call.

What's available in Chico
You have three repair shops to choose from, and four more nearby if you are willing to drive a little. The local shops cover roofs, A/C, and one does awnings. None of them are mobile techs, so you will need to bring the rig in. That is worth knowing if your slide-out is stuck out or the awning is hanging. Call first and describe the problem; some shops can talk you through a temporary fix over the phone. With only three shops in town, schedules fill up, especially in spring when everyone remembers last summer's A/C failure. Book ahead if you can.
The shops worth calling
Mike Friend RVs has the highest rating at 4.7 stars from 114 reviews, and they specialize in roofs. They also carry parts, which saves a trip. Chico Truck & RV is the bigger operation with 141 reviews at 4.3 stars, and they handle roofs and A/C. They are certified and work on generators, chassis, and they stock parts. Ron's RV Service rounds out the list at 4.3 stars from 68 reviews, covering roofs, A/C, and awnings. They also do warranty work, insurance claims, and body work. That range makes them a good first call for a mixed list of problems.
Roof leaks and sealant checks
All three shops list roof work, which makes sense given Chico's hot, dry summers followed by wet winters. Sealant cracks. Water finds the crack. By the time you see the stain inside, the damage is usually bigger than the leak. Get on the roof a couple times a year and look at the seams, around vents, and at the edges. If you are not comfortable up there, ask a shop to inspect it. A small reseal now is cheaper than a rotted deck later. If you are buying a used rig, have the roof checked before money changes hands.

Questions people ask
How many RV repair shops are in Chico?
There are three listed in Chico. They average 4.4 stars across more than 300 reviews combined. Four more shops are within driving distance if you need another option. None of the three are mobile techs, so plan to bring the RV to the shop.
Do any Chico shops work on roofs and A/C?
Yes. All three local shops list roof work, and two of them handle A/C. Chico Truck & RV and Ron's RV Service both cover roofs and A/C. Mike Friend RVs focuses on roofs. For awnings, Ron's RV Service is the only one listed, so start there.
Can I get warranty work done in Chico?
One shop in town advertises warranty work: Ron's RV Service. They also handle insurance claims. If your RV is still under warranty, call ahead and ask about pre-approval before any work begins. Otherwise you may have to pay first and seek reimbursement later, which is always slower.
When should I book an RV repair in Chico?
Book as early as you can, especially in spring. With only three shops in town, schedules fill up when owners start getting ready for summer trips. If your A/C is not cooling, call before the first hot week. If you have a roof leak, call before the next storm. Early calls get better appointment times.
