Repair shops in Texas

I had a bad mouse infestation in my Excella a while back. Got the mice out but there's still a small odor that I can't get rid of. I've shampooed the carpet and couch upholstery and wiped everything down that I can think of with disinfectant.

I'm thinking there's mouse "stuff" in the belly pan area and am thinking I need to have the pan removed and cleaned out, and new insulation re-installed. I usually take my trailer to North Dallas RV, but they're short staffed these days and aren't sure when they could even look at it.

Does anyone have direct experience with either North Texas RV, near Decatur, TX, or the Airstream shop in Buda TX? I'm closer to Decatur but I'm more interested in as good a job as I can get so don't mind driving to Buda.

Thanks,
Kurt

Hey Kurt, I work at A&P, sorry to hear about your mouse issues. Mouse proofing is definitely something we can do, and have done before. Feel free to call and discuss your needs, and schedule. Or just come on by and check us out.

Thank Crackerman. Where is your shop located in Paradise? I'd like to come up and talk about things in person and get a sense of how you guys do things since each shop is different. I also want to get a better understanding of the scope of work to be done as well.

While I need to re-visit the mouse proofing efforts, my main need at the moment is looking into removing the belly pan, cleaning everything, and then going back with new insulation and belly pan re-installation.

A&P are you an authorized Airstream warranty repair shop? I have a couple items that need to be repaired and don't want to go to Austin. Also do you do those annual inspections required for the Warranty Forever program??
