Absolutely top rated service. I have a 2003 Winnebago Adventurer on a Workshorse Chassis. I was having problems with the brakes, and thru IRV2 website, I found out the Bosch Brake Recall was not done. IRV2 website highly recommended Larry's Auto Clinic to perform the recall. I called Larry, we set a date of Friday to perform he work, and he suggested I travel down from Greer on Thursday night, and camp in the driveway. We made it in about 8:30pm, and plugged into 30am service, and slept comfortably. They opened the shop at 8am, and began working on the motorhome. Even though I had paid to have the front calipers replaced in 2015, under the conditions of the recall, all calipers had to be replaced. Fronts went with no problem, then they moved to the rear, using my leveling jacks to lift the tires off the ground. The problems were evident in the rear. Cracked rotors, stuck calipers, melted ABS sensors. Larry said the rotors were not part of the recall, and I said it has to be right, I'll pay. They proceeded to replace all parts, seals, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, ABS sensors. I was taking pictures of the technicians working on the motorhome, because I was curious what was involved. After seeing this, I would not attempt this on my own. After reassembly, Larry cleared all ABS error codes, and test drove the motorhome to ensure all repair was successful. Larry noticed that my motorhome horn's were not working, and offered to fix them, and he did in short time. The technicians were friendly and knowledgeable, and answered all my questions about the repair. All repairs were complete and I left Larry's about 3:30 pm. I use a ODBC scanner and my trip mileage went from 6.8 mpg ave to 7.88 mpg avg on the return trip, I assume from elimination of drake drag from stuck calipers. Ride was smoother with no brake shaking. 100% pleased with their service, and I would highly recommend this military veteran's service to anyone. Larry- Thank you for your service, both in the military and your professional workhorse chassis repair.

Nice to see a favorable report on an RV repair shop. Where is Larry's Auto Clinic? It sounds like a place I might want to bring my RV for some work.

I will make a mental note of that one. When on the road it’s good to know shops that perform.

Where does one find out more about this recall?

IF your chassis vin # begins with "5B4" and the sixth vin # position is a "6", then it was recalled to replace all four brake calipers.

This recall was issued in 2010, and most have been done by now.

If you don't know if yours was completed, or not, if you will post the last eight (8) digits ONLY and I'll check on that for you. Ed

I fall into that category. That would be great if you could look that up for me.
Last 8 of vin are: 73420884.

That vin is for a 2007 W-20 (20,700 GVWR and 19.5" wheels) sold to WBGO.

The ONLY recall for that chassis, 51101-C, replaced all 4 defective Bosch calipers on 6-1-2011 @ 13,943 miles. Looks like you are good to go.

Safe travels,
Ed
