Brakes & wheel hubs
A bigger vehicle still has to stop when you ask it to. We inspect the brakes, wheel hubs and related parts, show you what needs fixing and quote the repair before you approve it.

Maintenance through major repairs
The work that keeps your vehicle moving
The vehicle may be bigger. The approach stays the same: find the problem, explain it clearly and carry out the repairs you approve.
Shocks & suspension
Bouncy ride? A clunk that wasn’t there before? We find what’s worn, show you the problem and repair or replace what needs attention. No guessing at parts.
Request suspension serviceOil changes & maintenance
A daily route or a vehicle parked between trips: both need the basics kept up. We handle oil changes and routine maintenance around your vehicle’s schedule and how you use it.
Request maintenanceMore than the maintenance items. Engine trouble? A transmission that won’t shift? We handle major mechanical repairs, too. We also repair cooling systems, electrical faults and the vehicle’s A/C. Tell us what’s happening—we’ll inspect the problem, explain the work and give you a written quote before you approve it. Request mechanical repair
The vehicle, not the living quarters.
Our focus is mechanical service at the shop. Roofs, appliances, plumbing and other living-area equipment are a different kind of RV repair.
RVs, motorhomes & camper vans
Camper vans and motorhomes at Hillside
When your motorhome needs a major repair or your camper van is due for maintenance, you need a shop that understands what you’re bringing in.
A Thor Four Winds or Forest River Sunseeker. A camper van built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit or Ram ProMaster. The name on the body and the vehicle underneath can be different. Tell us what you know—we’ll take it from there.
We’ll help arrange the visit, inspect the concern and walk you through the findings. You decide which repairs to approve.
Small commercial buses
Your bus needs a shop, too
One working vehicle or part of a fleet, we handle routine maintenance and mechanical repairs, including the major jobs. Tell us what’s happening and what your schedule looks like so we can arrange the work.
A shuttle bus may say Ford E-350 or E-450 on the cab and carry a different name on the body. Either is a useful starting point. You don’t need to know every specification to request service.
Request service for one vehicle here. For ongoing fleet arrangements, explore Commercial Accounts.

Before you bring it in
A few good questions
Have something else in mind? Tell us about it when you call or request service.
Can you work on my RV or bus?
We offer mechanical service for RVs, motorhomes, camper vans and small commercial buses. Tell us the year, make and model, or the chassis if you know it, and the work it needs. A Winnebago Solis camper van or a small Ford-based shuttle bus: start with the names you know. We’ll use those details to arrange your shop visit.
Do you repair RV roofs or appliances?
Our work is on the vehicle’s mechanical systems, from brakes and routine maintenance to major engine and transmission repairs. Roof leaks, refrigerators, plumbing and other living-area equipment need an RV coach-systems specialist.
Do you offer mobile RV repair?
Service takes place here at our Torrance shop, at 24467 Hawthorne Blvd. We do not provide mobile service at a home, campsite or roadside location.
Can I bring one bus without a commercial account?
Yes. You can call or use the form below for a single vehicle. Our Commercial Accounts program is an option for ongoing fleet arrangements, not a requirement for a repair visit.
Will I see the findings before approving repairs?
Yes. We send inspection photos to your phone, explain what we find and provide a written quote. You choose the repairs to approve before work begins.
