If you are a SoCal Grand Design owner, do everything you can to get approval to have your work done at Bakersfield RV Center instead of a dealership. It is absolutely worth it. After getting the runaround for months from other dealerships and repair shops on warranty work, we finally found German--and the difference was immediate. German (the owner) is honest, highly skilled, and takes real pride in his craftsmanship. His communication was clear and consistent, he was accommodating with scheduling, and most importantly, he actually followed through. German really took care of us when others didn't, and that kind of service is rare. We finally felt heard and supported instead of brushed off. We won't go anywhere else now. If you want quality work from someone you can trust, Bakersfield RV Center is it. read more

German Padron and his team at Bakersfield RV Center were amazing at restoring a fender-bender issue I had on my 2024 Entegra Accolade Super C motorhome! Not only did they make it look beautiful again, but they also provided excellent customer service that, I thought, didn't exist in the RV industry. I'm really impressed with the communication and follow-up. Thank you very much, German; you have gained a lifelong customer! read more

We've taken our RV to other shops just to be disappointed and over charged but not here, they are honest, hardworking and ready to tackle any issues with your RV. We're very happy so far and we have had our RV there a few times and they are keeping it like new even though it's over 16 years old. We would definitely recommend this business. read more

So I had my cap painted as it was fading. This is what Bakersfield RV looks like 5 years mdown the road. The issue is they did no prep work rather just painted over the surface. I just had it repainted and was told they should have sanded and prepped the clear coat before they painted. No response to my complaint as well. Buyer beware. read more

Bakersfield Rv Center - This is what a Bakersfield RV Paint job looks like 5 years down the road. - RV Dealers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

German and his crew are the best! I wouldn't take my RV anywhere else. He has repair the frame on my trailer even after it went back to the factory for frame repair. The repair that Bakersfield RV Center did was far more sturdy than what the factory did. He has also repaired the siding for us. He gets the repairs done quickly also. I have friends who have taken their RVs to other shops and their RV was there for a couple months or more. German is very friendly and very professional and we will always support him especially since he is locally owned. Thank you Bakersfield RV Center for your excellent service ! read more

Highly recommend them, service is good and affordable. Timely in getting repairs done. Have used them for all of our rv work

I have brought my RV here before and am always greeted with friendly fast, and honest service. It's located across town but well worth the drive if you want to have your repairs done in a timely manner. I highly recommend using this shop for your RV needs. read more

Bakersfield Rv Center - Ron booking my repair. - RV Dealers Near Me - Bakersfield, California

It's been almost a year since I have Bakersfield RV do work on my 1996 Gulfstream. They did a lot of things for me. Looking over their work I have to say they did a very good job and they are honest. Wish they were in Santa Clara. read more

I would like to thank Bakersfield RV Center!! Ronnie and German were very helpful. There team knocked it out of the park with repairers they made. I'm so happy that I finally found a place that I can trust to work on my trailer. The best part is my trailer didn't sit. It was done in one week. Ronnie RV service team knocked it out of the park, As they were getting ready to repack all the wheel bearings it appeared that all four wheel seals have been leaking and contaminated all the brakes and magnets they replace all four backing plates and fixed the water heater. German RV collusion team repaired the damage from my tire blow out. German kept me up to date on how things were going you never get that customer service these days. With all this said my trailer was in and out in 7 days it would have been sooner I'm sure if I didn't take it there on a Friday afternoon. I will be back to do the maintenance!! Thank you for getting us back to camping!! read more

"World Class Service" I run a company adjacent to Bakersfield RV Repair which is how I found out about this wonderful new establishment. For the past couple of years I have dealt with German to handle several RV issues for me. From new tires to new central vac system Bakersfield RV is not only very competitive but they truly do a wonderful job. Me being a major picky guy they ALWAYS go over board to make sure I am satisfied. German is very honest and trustworthy to say the least. I have referred several friends and all have been very satisfied. I have price checked them ( most recently on a set of new tires) and even though the competition was have a "huge sale" Bakersfield RV was still 20% cheaper. Congratulations German and crew for a job well done. I can confidently recommend these guys for all your RV needs from major body repair to replacing a simple light bulb. read more

Ronnie and German are just great. I love their work and they will work with you. They are honest and do efficient work. I had a body repair, partial repainting and they buffed out the majority of body and it looked great. German could have done more, which was going to cost me more, but he knew what I was looking for and gave me a great job for what I was budgeted for. Ronnie got working on the coach coating the roof, instaling a new AC, solar panels, new water tank, water pump, remove and install rebuilt generator, and rebuilt the battery rack for generator access. So Ronnie did a shit load of work for a good price, and now we love Ronnie. The crew is very good and worked hard on our Queenie (love Chuck Berry) during the hot summer months. They don't like spending your money on something they think is not worth it. On the same token, they will give you honest work for your money, so you can trust them. read more

The guys did a great job, and got it done on time. Very professional. You can trust them to do it right. I have an older Motor Home and had to replace all the trim on the bottom because we could not match it. 2 compartment doors didn't paint out well do to the age and they are going to redo for me. I cant day enough good! read more

This place is awesome. Great service. They truly treat you like family. These people go out of their way to get you in and out in a timely manner. Don't waste your time and money at DC's or anywhere else. Get the job done right, the first time! read more

My first experience with these guys was when we rented a trailer from Beach Bound Trailers and a freak wind ripped the awning off, she said we can have it repaired or she can and told us of these guys. Well needless to say it was a lot cheaper than we ever thought it would of been. They fixed it and delivered it back to the rental place for us. Now that was service We bought a used RV, this is our first. They offer a FREE inspection?? Hmm what is the catch?? Nothing.... yep nothing if there was anything wrong we had the choice of having them give me an estimate or taking it somewhere else. Unheard of. Well it was an 11 year old 5th wheel and it had a few minor issues but nothing to shake a stick at. Unbelievable that they would do that inspection for free becauce the other places don't. I get the method of the madness, but that is customer service. They are super friendly and yes look at their yard, packed with customers RV's so that in itself says a lot. When they fixed all of the minor issues we took it to a local lake to do our maiden voyage to try out everything and of course we hooked up and didn't put whatever you are suppose to put on your water hose and the toilet leaked immediately....... Mike came out right away to the lake and fixed the leak for us, now that is unheard of. These guys are amazing and deserve all of the 5 stars I can give. If you have an RV and need anything these guys are honest, know what they are doing and get it done fast. Thanks guys! read more

This place is super! From the minute we brought our 5th wheel in, they kept us up to date on everything that was being done. The repair they did was outstanding. Recommend Bakersfield RV to anyone that needs any repairs to their RV, this is the place to go! read more

This place deserves 10 stars. I called and talked to German the other day about an issue I was having with my propane fridge. He didn't say, "...bring it in and we'll look at it." He spent 25 minutes on the phone with me trying to help me work it out...this in itself was really great. However, I couldn't get it to work, so I drove it in to his shop. He remembered me, said that the ship was busy, but took me out to my RV and spent his own time looking at the problem and it was fixed in a few minutes. Who does that in this day and age? No one else in town at any RV place I know of. He not only earned my business, my recommendation, but my friendship as well. Thank you! read more

Wow unbelievable service and truly kind staff. German and Ronnie helped us with everything we needed to repair. They were honest, kind, and helpful. Definitely recommend them to everyone. read more

I called in to get an estimate on some work that I wanted done on my campervan and was told that I'd have to leave my van on their lot for 4 days before they'd even look at it due to Covid. I feel that this is EXTREME. I understand the need to be cautious. Air out the van, disenfect areas of concern, wear a mask and gloves, etc. But to think that my van is a big cootie zone that is that infectiouse is just more than I can take. I will not be doing business with this company. read more

I am really thrilled with the repair work they did on my 5th trailer. We had the front of the trailer cover replaced . It looks brand new. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank You!! read more

These guys are great! They are trustworthy and reliable. They are busy as all get out, but be patient- they're worth the wait.

German and all the guys that work their are awesome! Reliable, reasonable and always willing to help!!! I would recommend Bakersfield RV to everyone! I would never take our trailers or fifth wheel to camping world or any other facilities. They go over and beyond in the rv care and their customer care! read more

I highly recommend this RV center!!! We have an 40 diesel Alfa that required extensive work following a blowout. Ronnie worked tirelessly to track down all of the parts that were needs, from all over the country and to apprise us of other things that required attention. Ronnie kept in contact and updated me frequently on the progress, when it was time to pock the RV up they even washed it. I found this center to be honest, ethical, and up front. Very highly recommended!! read more

I called for an estimate for the damage on my RV. German asked me to send him pictures of the damage (which I did). He made various promises that he never followed through with. I had structural damage in the roof and while waiting for him to do what he said he would do, I then had more damage on the inside of my RV from heavy rainstorms. It has now been 3 months..I hate giving bad reviews so I called today to find out why he did bot follow through. I thought maybe he would have a good reason and this review would not be necessary but all he could say was that he took time off of work and he just never got to it.....REALLY???? read more

Awesome customer service for our failing motorhome refrigerator! In the middle of a road trip we came in on short notice for help. The Bakersfield RV Center team quickly diagnosed the problem and German followed up with the refrigerator manufacturer warranty department to enable us to get a replacement part shipped to a future location on our route. Best possible outcome for us - highly recommend them to everyone. They treated us like family our first time there. read more

I was just lucky, I guess, that this business popped up first in my Google search while in Bakersfield. I had a propane leak and needed it fixed ASAP, and while I waited, because I live FT in my RV. Most full-timers know that it can be frustrating to try get repairs done while you wait, especially at the bigger places (like dealers). I was relieved that German took my concern seriously and completely understood my need to wait for repairs. He got me in within 36 hours, and they even had a comfortable waiting room for me and my cat (which is not always the case with independent shops). I'm pretty sure they worked longer than the hour for which he charged me, too. read more

On a trip with our trailer the slide out quit working and the kitchen faucet disintegrated. Called many repair shops from Woodland to Bakersfield with the same result - could not assist for a week or more. These wonderful folks said stop by and they'll do what they can although they're booked solid. Dropped off the trailer next day and they squeezed in a few hours work and fixed both. Everyone there was really polite and it's obvious they truly care about their customers. Certainly were a lifesaver for us as we were on a timetable and couldn't stay anywhere along the route long. Many thanks! read more

I have a 2011 fifth wheel and took it here to get some issues fixed. Service was great and they did excellent work. Very satisfied. read more

German was very honest and helped me handle my insurance claim. Their work was top notch and was done very, promptly and professionally. Would definitely recommend this business to anyone. read more

Impressive place! I read the previous review and can't imagine we went to the same place! German bent over backwards to get my unit fixed and his communication during the time we did business was outstanding. I've used many other RV service centers in town and this one is by FAR the best. I travel with a group and we only trust our units to Bakersfield RV Center. These guys are friendly, knowledgeable, fair and easy to work with. read more

We had urgent issue on our jacks and slide and called this place. Although very busy they said to stop by and they would at least check it for safety. Both problems turned out to be greater than a quick check but he topped off our jack fluids and cranked in the broken slide so we could head on our way. He took the time to show me the part I needed for the slide and explained how it works. Excellent pleasant knowledgeable people. We will definitely come back here!! read more

While traveling in our RV from Northern California, we ran into a repair problem that needed an immediate fix. I looked these good people up in Google and ran over in hopes of getting some help. And help i got! Mike, one of the owners, had a used part that fit the bill perfectly. He interrupted the work he was doing and fixed my problem quickly. In this world of disappearing customer service, it is wonderful to know that people like Mike and his company are doing business. From the looks of his busy yard, many others feel the same way. Thanks, Mike! read more

Bakersfield RV Center is the place you want to work on your RV. Had to replace a quarter panel on my 2004 Teton 5th wheel. Teton is out of business so they had to have one made. It looks perfect. Top quality work. I highly recommend them for all RV work. read more

The folks at Bakersfield RV Center have given us superior business ethics over the last couple of years. We bought a 2003 motorhome in 2013 that had a number of issues. Our first stop was Camping World, but the pricing seemed a little too high and their sales people work on commission, plus we had issues with some of their work. One of the reasons I tried Bakersfield RV was that they not only do normal repairs but also collusion repairs. On my first visit I needed some molding that ran the 40' length of our MH repaired where it had been bent and separated from the body. I was ready for a large bill, but the manager when over his recommendations, one expensive and the other just a few minutes of labor. If I remember correctly, I was charged 1/2 hour for the repair done with some strategically placed screws, expert manipulation of the molding, and some sealant. Future visits gave me for more price shocks. I thought I had a leak in my gray tank; they pressured it up but couldn't find a leak ... no charge because "it only took a few minutes." Can you imagine that happening at Camping World? We moved from Taft to Cayucos, about a 125 miles, and we still take our MH to Bakersfield RV, but they make it VERY easy for us. They have a large lot to park RVs, so they never pressured us to hurry back to get our MH. We travel a lot due to business, and they have always (maybe a half dozen times) worked us in to get some little thing fixed before we head out. At least three time we have dropped the MH off, go have breakfast do some shopping, pick our MH up a few hours later and head out. Once when I was thanking German, the manager, for always helping us out, he said it was simply their policy to help anyone away from home if they could meet all their other obligations on schedule. Most businesses simply give the standard "we're booked until next week" response with their tone and word choice making it clear they're too busy to try and accommodate a traveler with a problem. The reason I'm finally writing this review is because German's neighborly demeanor in doing business finally shamed me into it. His doing the right thing relative to his customers simply was over the top during our last visit. They had repaired our toilet and the part they installed failed, and they repaired the step cover that has defied repair for the last decade by working a while and "resting" a while making it very difficult to solve the problem. When German handed our keys back it was working, but true to form it stopped a day or two latter. (I was starting to believe our MH was haunted ;-) The people we bought the MH from had given up on having it repaired. When Bakersfield RV finished both redo repairs the bill came to exactly zero dollars! The toilet was most likely out of warranty by a month or so, but German's response was it should have lasted longer. As for the step cover he knew that it had proven unsolvable for other repair shops. His position was simple; they tried and failed and they would make it right. These folks are poster candidates for what good, moral business practices look like. If you live in the Bakersfield area, you'll be doing yourself a favor to experience their old fashion, handshake way of doing business, and if you're traveling through Bakersfield with a sick RV, call them first!!! read more

What a great experience!! We had to make a side stop due to a water leak. They had us repaired and back on the road in under an hour. They were courteous and helpful. Thanks!! read more
