Hey guys. As some of you might seen my posts before, we recently acquired a 2013 Aspire. Unfortunately we acquired from PPL and there are really no service records for the unit. We were aware of that. Had 15,000 miles when we bought it. All in all is being good with some minor repairs already addressed. Since there were no service records I need to make sure all service items are taken care of. I already changed engine oil and filter including fuel filters. I spoke with Spartan and came up with the attached docs in order to service and lube my k2/Mountain master chassis (apparently is the same chassis?)?. Need to find a good place in the houston area that can service the coach and bring it up to speed including the adjusting of the air suspension, hubs, transmission, diferencial, lube in general, etc. Any recommendations? Spartan recommended Demontrond as well as the Cummings service center in Houston but wanted to see if anybody has a good shop that will not charge an arm and a leg. What is fair. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Lonestar Truck Group in Bryan Texas is an excellent service organization for vehicle service. Their service mix is about 80/20 truck/motor Coaches. They sadly are not a Spartan dealer, however Spartan indicated they would have no reservation with them working on Spartan units. They are Certified Cummins, Freightline dealer. Started using them when we had a Freightliner Chassis Coach. Their prices are fair and they will have things ready when they say they will. We always worked with them if we need the Coach done quickly they would work us in, if we didn’t we would give them leave way to get more rushed units in and out.

I have had only bad experiences with the likes of Holiday World and Camping World in Houston proper. The other place I would take my Coach for Coach work would be NIRVC in Lewisville, Texas. However, I would stay away from MHS which is a Entegra/Spartan dealer in Alvarado Texas. Bad/ very bad service reparation.

Thanks!!! Although a little far away from Houston but will certainly keep them in mind if I am not able to find other options around the Spring or Houston Area.
