RV Specialist
Family-run San Diego RV shop, 39 years in, handling AC, roof, awning, generator and chassis work.
A slide-out that won't retract can wreck a trip fast, and in San Diego it usually happens the morning you planned to leave. Three shops here handle slide-out repair, plus one mobile tech who comes to you. Average rating across them is 3.8, and all three take warranty work. That mix matters when your rig is under an extended plan and the room is stuck halfway out.

The call you make first is whether the slide-out moves at all. If it's frozen out and blocking the rig, a mobile tech is often the smarter move, since towing a rig with a room hanging out is its own problem. One mobile option shows up in this list and covers slide-outs along with roof, A/C and generator work. If the room creeps in and out but binds or drags, a shop with a bay and a level floor is easier. Ask on the phone whether they can get to it this week and whether the motor or gear is in stock. Either way, describe the symptom plainly: dead no sound, motor runs but nothing moves, or it moves crooked. That one detail tells them a lot before you arrive.
All three shops here do warranty work, which is the first thing to confirm if your slide-out is covered. Get pre-approval from the warranty provider before anyone starts, and ask the shop if they'll handle that call or if you should. Parts are the other delay. Slide-out motors, gears and controllers aren't sitting on every shelf, so ask whether the part is in stock or has to be ordered. Camping World RV Service - San Diego and Camping World - San Diego both list parts and warranty coverage. The two Camping World locations carry the same 3.5 rating, though the review counts differ a lot. RV Specialist sits highest at 4.3 from 141 reviews and also handles body, tires, solar and leveling.
Do a slow look around the room before you drop it off. Check the seals and the outer flange for cracks, and look at the floor inside for water stains after rain. A worn seal lets water in, and the damage shows up later as soft flooring or a musty smell. Clean the slide-out roof and wipe the seals with the conditioner the maker recommends. If the room is out, check underneath for debris or a bent rail. Bring photos of the mechanism and the model number of the slide system, because techs can look up the right part faster. Spring and early summer book up, so call ahead if you can.

The average rating across the three shops is 3.8. RV Specialist leads at 4.3 from 141 reviews. Both Camping World locations sit at 3.5, though one has far more reviews than the other.
Sometimes. A mobile tech can diagnose a dead motor, a tripped controller or a bad switch in your driveway, which saves you towing a rig with the room out. If the fix needs a bay, a lift or a major part swap, you'll likely be referred to a shop.
That depends on your plan and what failed. All three shops here do warranty work, but get pre-approval from your provider first. Ask the shop whether they file the claim or you do, and keep photos of the failure.
