I wanted to begin a topic regarding the subject of gaining timely service from our manufacturers.
Buried within another thread, I realized that some owners may not know just how to reach out to the manufacturer if the need arises.
Entegra
Email:
service@entegracoach.com
Parts@entegracoach.com
Customer Service:
(800)517-9137 follow the prompts 2-2
After hours:
(574)361-0034
Spartan
(800)543-4277
This is the daytime line and can connect you to the after hours help.
While I've used the email address
service@entegracoach.com a few times, I'd say the vast majority of my calls are to the regular CS line (800)517-9137, timed as close to when they open as possible. When the chips are down, the Entegra After Hours gang gets my call (574)361-0034
There have been a few times I've tried to contact CS during the middle of their business day, resulting in longer hold times. Calling right after opening typically results in the very quickest response, most often immediate.
FYI, I have given the Entegra CS group a workout since we got our coach in August, and without fail they have risen to each occasion.
Dave at Spartan has been a great help when things went bad recently, in fact ultimately helping me reason out how to recover our coach without a tow.
In either case, have the last 8 digits of your VIN handy as that is how each department identifies exactly what is relevant to your specific coach.
If you are new to the RV world, I would encourage others to take a deep breath before dialing for help. Sit down and make a short list of issues you need help with. Prioritize things in order of need. Have something to write with, and on.
If you're broken down, don't confuse the conversation with irrelevant issues that don't impact your immediate concern. Try to remember that the person helping you is able to provide the very best, and quickest help if you keep your cool.
My experience with the entire group at Entegra, Spartan, and Cummins have been really top notch. While I can't say it's been a super easy four months, I can say I'm supremely confident in the support we have grown to trust.
My wife informs me that we received a sympathy card about my Dad signed by the fine folks at Entegra.. ..signed.
Joyce, PJ, Anthony, and all the other folks I've spoken with at EC are simply fantastic.
I hope this helps,
