Airstream Service in/near North Alabama

I'm looking for a good qualified Airstream repair shop. I live near Huntsville, AL. Does anyone have a recommended shop who has access to Airstream parts?

Are you satisfied with their work and are their prices resonable?

No, was not impressed with their work. They also seemed a bit disinterested in working on Airstreams.

I know sonny too, he knows his stuff! Sonny had an injury long ago, long story! Only god could explain! Old fashioned reason, he earned it!

Yes, he is very good, better words he saved my soul while away from home when my airstream's water hose insert broke! He sent me replacement in the mail next day! Then my zip d arm end broke sonny came thru again! I was just thinking of him this week, i have cancer and hubby has dementia, we still have airstream, just put it back in beech's rv park in orange beach, al!

By the way another friend from god! Same rv park where sonny saved me twice yrs ago! Sonny we cherish you, while my hubby was in vietnam i lived in montevallo, al ! Then again i am a country girl from chilton county,al. Just because i married a texas dude does not mean i changed, i still go barefooted even in late 50's! Still wear my overalls too, yes i am still a worker, cancer has not stopped me, stage 4 has no meaning when god isn't counting stages, but souls!

Best to contact Airstream, for local dealers first! They are ones that directed me to Sonny in Montevallo!

I did. They gave me Dandy in Anniston. But, a couple of forum members indicated they weren't pleased with past service from them (see previous posts). I'm still looking for someone closer than Montevallo if that is possible. Montevallo is about 125 mi from here. I would like to find someone located between south of Nashville and north of Birmingham that does good service at a reasonable price. I have a guy that worked on my previous units but he isn't an Airstream dealer/servicer. I would like someone who has Airstream experience and access to parts.

au_ee, did you ever find someone in North Alabama to help you?

FWIW, I either do repairs/maintenance myself, or I drive to Alachua, Florida. Friends of mine used a central alabama area rv repair company to change their Fantastic fan ... well, they ended up with a massive dent in their roof. Another friend used Dandy to diagnose and repair a leak ... $10,000 dollars later, he found PROPER and knowledgable repair in Alachua, Florida. I hope you found someone close to you, but be careful about what you allow non Airstream experts do.

BTW, I heard Sonny in Montevallo is truly an expert. Unfortunately, he's mostly a one man crew and keeps a long waiting list.
