Smile Repairs in the Los Angeles Metro Area?

Hello,

I've just inherited a 1971 Overlander and am looking for a shop in the LA area to service it. It's in pretty decent shape for 39 years old, but will need a bit of TLC. I need some guidance from someone experienced & trustworthy as I am a newbie. I'd like to have someone go through the systems to make sure everything is working properly, and repair what may come up. I know for sure that the propane tank fixtures need to be brought up to spec.

I'd really appreciate a solid referral!

thanks so much.

My suggestions are Area63 Productions and MEL Trailers, both are in Orange, CA.

Inland RV in Corona. Area 63 is also recommended.

Hi, also C&G Trailer Service in Bellflower; Authorized Airstream repair center. This should be the closest to you.

I would recommend Uwe at area63productions, he did a lot of work to my trailer and it turned out great.

Inland RV for sure....

If you have panel work (replacement panels interior or exterior) there is a certified shop in Belflower that I can get you the info if so required.

I would take it to Inland - and let them give any other referrals - just remember the traffic heading over there!
