Schroeder's Auto and RV Repair
Third-generation Howell shop since 1967, ASE certified, handling RV repair, body work, and storage near I-96.
A cracked windshield on a motorhome is not a car repair. The glass is big, the coach is heavy, and the seal has to keep water out for years. Michigan has nine shops that list windshield work, and their average rating sits at 4.6. Some are collision and body shops that handle glass alongside fiberglass and chassis work. Others are mobile techs who come to your storage lot. Know which kind you need before you call.

Three of the nine Michigan shops are mobile techs, which matters if your rig is not driveable or the glass is only part of the problem. Mobile techs like Double Eagle Rv Repair and Barefoot Mobile Rv Repair list windshield work along with roof, A/C and slide-out jobs. A shop with a body department, like George's Body Shop Inc or Motor City Truck Collision, can deal with a bent frame around the glass at the same time. Ask on the phone which one you are getting. A mobile call-out for a windshield often turns into a shop appointment anyway. Bring your insurance paperwork. Two of the nine list warranty work, and glass claims usually need pre-approval before anyone orders the pane.
The glass is the easy part. The seal is where trouble starts, and a poor one shows up as a wet ceiling months later. Ask the shop how they set the windshield and whether they check the surrounding roof and front cap seams while the old glass is out. Several of these shops also list roof work, so a leak inspection can ride along with the replacement. If you have had a roof leak before, say so. Water often travels and shows up far from where it got in. Plan for the coach to sit a day or two so the sealant can cure before you drive.
Windshield glass for a motorhome is often not on the shelf. Ask whether the pane is in stock or has to be ordered, and get a realistic date before you drop the coach off. Spring is the busy season here, so book early if you can. The shops with the most reviews, Schroeder's Auto and RV Repair at 4.8 from 462 reviews and George's Body Shop Inc at 4.5 from 352, are worth a call first, but a smaller shop with a 5.0 rating can be the better fit when you need someone who will talk you through the seal. Birch Run is one nearby place to check.
Nine shops across the state list windshield work, with an average rating of 4.6. Three of them are mobile techs, so you can choose between driving to a shop and having a tech come to you.
Some mobile techs list windshield work, but glass replacement usually needs a controlled space and a curing period. Call first and ask whether they do the glass on site or only inspect and seal it before sending you to a shop.
Often it does, but you need pre-approval before anyone orders the pane. Two of the nine shops list warranty work. Call your insurer, get the claim number, and pass it to the shop when you book.
Longer than you would for a car. The glass may need ordering, and the sealant needs time to cure before you drive. Ask for a date when the pane arrives and add a day or two before you plan a trip.
