# Every Repair Service OCRV Center Performs for Rancho Santa Margarita Owners

> OCRV Center runs **six repair departments** under one roof in Yorba Linda, from frame straightening to gelcoat polishing. This index lists **all sixteen services** and the **seventy three jobs** beneath them.

## What repair services does OCRV Center offer?

OCRV Center performs collision and structural work, paint and body, interior rebuilds, roof and slide and awning work, mechanical and house systems, plus fabrication, detailing and inspection. Rancho Santa Margarita owners bring units to the Yorba Linda floor, where all sixteen services are performed under one roof.

- Six departments, sixteen services, seventy three specific jobs
- Body and paint bills at $210 per hour, mechanical at $260
- Structure is verified before any cosmetic work begins
- Nothing on this list is performed anywhere but the shop floor

### Key facts

| Item | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Departments | 6 (Collision, paint, interior, roof and slide, mechanical, additional) |
| Services | 16 (Each with its own scope, rate and turnaround) |
| Specific jobs | 73 (The sub service level where the actual work is described) |
| Written estimate | $150 (Credited in full against an authorized repair) |
| Floor space | 35,000 sq ft (Frame rack, downdraft booth and full coach bays) |

Most owners arrive knowing the symptom and not the department. A ceiling stain could be a roof seam, a vent flange, a slide topper that has pooled, or an air conditioner gasket that has flattened. Those are four different services on this list, priced at two different labor rates, and picking the wrong one costs a week.

This page is the index, not the sales pitch. It is organized the way the shop is organized, by department, then by service, then by the specific job that gets written on a repair order. Start with the department that matches your symptom and work down until the description sounds like what you are looking at.

## How this index is organized

The shop is split into six departments because the tooling is different in each one. A frame rack and a spray booth cannot share a bay. A technician who traces a parasitic draw on a house bank is not the same technician who lays a three stage pearl. Organizing the site any other way would produce a menu that reads well and routes badly.

Under each department sit the services, and under each service sit the individual jobs. The service page is a router: it takes a symptom and points at the right job. The job page is where the parts, the failure modes, the labor hours and the price band live. If you already know what you need, skip straight to the job.

- Department level: what tooling and which labor rate applies
- Service level: a symptom table that routes you to the correct job
- Job level: named parts, failure modes, labor hours and a price band

## Collision and structural services

This is where a unit goes after an impact, and it is the department that decides whether everything downstream is worth doing. A coach that was hit hard enough to move a frame rail will never hold a panel gap or a seal line until the rail is back where the factory put it. Structure is measured against published dimensions on the rack before anyone talks about paint.

Fiberglass sits in this department rather than in paint because the failures are structural. Delamination is a bond failure between the outer skin and the Azdel or lauan substrate behind it, and repairing it means opening the wall, not spraying it. Three services live here and they cover thirteen distinct jobs.

- Collision repair: minor impact damage, major impact rebuilds, and full vehicle collision restoration
- Frame and structural repair: frame straightening, chassis repair and alignment, subframe repair, unibody straightening, and structural damage assessment
- Fiberglass repair: RV and camper fiberglass repair, delamination repair, crack and hole and impact repair, full fiberglass panel replacement, and fiberglass restoration and refinishing

## Paint and body services

Refinishing an RV is not refinishing a car with more square footage. A twelve year old coach has three different substrates on the same side, gelcoat on the cap, painted aluminum on the skirt and filon or fiberglass on the sidewall, and each of those takes color differently. Matching is done with a spectrophotometer and then confirmed against a spray out card held to the actual panel, because a paint code from 2013 will not match the panel it was sprayed on.

Body work covers the metal and composite repairs that do not require the frame rack. Two services here, nine jobs, and the split matters at estimate time because a bumper on a Sprinter and a bonded rear cap on a fifth wheel are priced on completely different logic.

- Paint and refinishing: full vehicle paint jobs, spot repair and blend matching, custom color matching, custom paint and graphics, and post refinish paint correction and polishing
- Body repair: dent removal and repair, panel replacement, bumper repair and replacement, and fender and quarter panel repair

## Interior services

Interior work is where water damage ends up. A roof that leaked for two seasons does not present as a roof problem. It presents as a soft spot near the slide, a cabinet door that no longer closes, and a smell in the closet. By then the subfloor has delaminated and the lauan under the vinyl has gone dark, and the repair is a floor job with a roof job attached to it.

One service, seven jobs, and the range is enormous. A single cracked countertop and a full coach interior rebuild both live here. The department shares the body and paint rate because most of the labor is fabrication and finish work rather than diagnostics.

- Interior remodeling and repair: full interior remodels, cabinet repair and refacing and replacement, flooring repair and replacement, wall and ceiling panel repair, upholstery repair and replacement, countertop repair and replacement, and lighting upgrades and repair

## Roof, slide out and awning services

These three services share a department because they share a failure path. Water gets in at the roof, travels along a slide opening, and shows up somewhere nobody expected. An awning rail that has pulled away from the sidewall is a water entry point long before it is a fabric problem, and a slide that racks will chew a wiper seal in a season.

Three services, thirteen jobs. Roof work bills at the body and paint rate because most of it is membrane, decking and sealant labor. Slide and awning work bills at the mechanical rate because the failures are in drives, rails and torsion assemblies from Lippert, Power Gear, BAL, Carefree and Dometic.

- Roof repair and replacement: rubber roof repair, fiberglass roof repair, hail damage roof repair, roof vent and skylight repair, and full roof replacement
- Slide out repair: slide out mechanism repair, slide out seal and gasket replacement, slide out room structural repair, and slide out motor and gear repair
- Awning repair: awning fabric replacement, awning arm and mechanism repair, awning motor and sensor repair, and full awning replacement

## Mechanical and house systems services

An RV carries two electrical systems, a propane system, a fresh water system, a waste system and a set of appliances that were designed to run on any of them. Nothing else on the road is built that way. This department covers all of it, and it is the department where diagnostic time actually earns its keep, because chasing an intermittent fault by replacing parts is the most expensive way to fix anything.

Four services and nineteen jobs, the largest group on the site. Named systems we see constantly include Onan and Cummins generator sets, Magnum and Victron and Xantrex inverter chargers, Norcold and Dometic refrigerators, Suburban and Truma water heaters, and Atwood furnaces.

- Electrical repair: 12 volt electrical systems, 120 volt electrical systems, battery and charging system repair, solar panel installation and repair, inverter and converter repair, and wiring and fuse box repair
- Generator repair: generator maintenance, generator repair and overhaul, and generator installation
- Plumbing repair: fresh water system repair, waste water tank repair, water heater repair and replacement, toilet and sink and shower repair, and pump and valve repair
- Appliance repair: refrigerator repair, stove and oven and cooktop repair, microwave repair, air conditioner repair and service, and furnace and heating system repair

## Fabrication, detailing and inspection services

The last department holds the work that does not follow a damage event. Custom fabrication builds the thing that does not exist yet: a bumper that will carry a spare and a receiver, a bay that will hold a generator that was never meant to fit, a weldment that turns a cargo van into a working shop. Detailing brings a chalked sidewall back rather than repainting it, which on a sound gelcoat surface is a fraction of the cost.

Inspection and estimating is the front door for everyone else. A written repair estimate documents scope before any work starts. A diagnostic buys technician time on a fault nobody can name yet. A buyer inspection is what you do before you hand over money for somebody else's coach.

- Custom fabrication: custom bumpers and racks, custom storage solutions, custom modifications, and welding and metal fabrication
- Detailing and reconditioning: full interior and exterior detailing, RV oxidation removal and gelcoat restoration, ceramic coating, and headlight restoration
- Inspection and estimating: written repair estimate, in depth diagnostic and scan, in shop pre purchase RV inspection, and insurance claim damage assessment and documentation

## Which department owns the job you have

Owners route themselves wrong most often on water and on electrical. A wet carpet is almost never a plumbing job. An interior light that flickers is almost never a light. The table below is the routing we use at the front counter, and it is worth reading before you call, because the department determines both the rate and the queue.

Where a job crosses two departments, and many do, the structural side leads. Frame before body, body before paint, paint before detail. Systems get tested after reassembly rather than before, because a slide that works on the bench does not prove anything about a slide bolted into a wall that has just been rebuilt.

**Symptom to department routing**

| What you are seeing | Department | Rate |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Panel gap changed after an impact | Collision and structural | $210 per hour |
| Ceiling stain, soft spot in the floor | Roof and slide, then interior | $210 per hour |
| Sidewall bubbling or a hollow sound when tapped | Fiberglass, in collision and structural | $210 per hour |
| Color mismatch after somebody else repaired it | Paint and refinishing | $210 per hour |
| Slide grinds, stalls or runs crooked | Roof, slide and awning | $260 per hour |
| Nothing works on shore power but the batteries are fine | Mechanical and house systems | $260 per hour |
| Generator starts then drops the load | Mechanical and house systems | $260 per hour |
| Chalky white residue that rubs off on your hand | Detailing and reconditioning | $95 per hour |
| An intermittent fault nobody has been able to name | Diagnostics | $285 per hour |

## What every service on this list has in common

Four labor rates cover the entire list, and the rate is set by the department that performs the work rather than by the vehicle. Body and paint is $210 per hour. Mechanical and electrical is $260. Diagnostics, scan and programming is $285 with a one hour minimum. Detail is $95. Parts and materials carry their own line, and sales tax applies to those rather than to labor.

Every job starts the same way. The unit comes to the shop, gets walked and photographed, and a written repair estimate is produced for $150 that is credited in full against an authorized repair. Nothing on this list is performed at a customer address, in a storage lot or in a campground, and the reasons are physical rather than commercial.

## Questions and answers

### I know the symptom but not the service. Where should I start?

Start at the department that matches what you are seeing, then read down to the service, then to the specific job. Each service page carries a symptom table that routes you further. If the symptom crosses two departments, which water damage usually does, the structural side leads and the rest follows it.

### Can several of these services be done in one visit?

Yes, and combining them usually saves money because the teardown labor is shared. A roof replacement that already has the front cap off is the right moment to address the cap seam. We sequence the departments so a unit moves through once rather than coming back three times for related work.

### Why does the hourly rate change depending on the service?

Because the tooling and the certification behind the hour change. A body hour uses the rack, the welder and the booth support crew. A mechanical hour uses scan tools, meters and LP certification. Diagnostic hours are the most expensive because they are pure investigation with no parts sale attached.

### What is the difference between a service page and a job page here?

A service page routes. It takes a symptom, explains the boundaries of that service, and sends you to the right place. A job page commits. It names the parts, the failure modes, the labor hour range and the price band, and it is the page an estimator actually works from.

### My repair is not on this list of seventy three. Now what?

Call it in and describe it. The list covers what we write on repair orders most often, not the outer edge of what the shop can build. One off fabrication, salvage rebuilds and unusual commercial upfits get scoped individually rather than fitted into a category that does not describe them.

### Which of these services can go through an insurance claim?

Any of them, if a covered event caused the damage. The department does not decide that, the cause does. Collision, storm, hail, falling objects and vandalism are events. Rail wear, ultraviolet chalking and seals that took a compression set from age are maintenance, and no carrier pays for maintenance.

### Do commercial accounts get scheduled differently from retail work?

Yes. Fleet units are staged so that no more than an agreed number are down at once, and the sequence is built around the operator's calendar rather than around ours. Purchase order and net 30 billing are available on established accounts, which retail work does not use.
