Erich gave me an estimate to start but it went up because they showed me all the things that it needed. He and the techs were really good. I know when people know their business. They are the best I've met and I've been around. They keep you involved and get your approval.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   Very good. I perform all QC and the shop foreman like that. He said his guys are use to customers QC-ing the jobs. Most shops throw you out of their shops not them.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent   Email Address of Reviewer:   adallis@gmail.com       Date of Service:   2/24/2010   Work Done on:   Class B   Service Performed:   Was traveling through and things needed work, furnance, refrigerator, TV   Evaluation of Service Performed:   They took care of it all while we waited. Cost $125 and showed us what was wrong before they did the repair. Like I said were from out of state and they were so kind. I hope others read this because they are good.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent   Email Address of Reviewer:   TCAPTAIN1945@YAHOO.NET       Date of Service:   11/1/2009   Work Done on:   Class A - Diesel   Service Performed:   My Hydro-Hot failed in November. I sought an authorized service center to service and restore my unit to operational status. Alpin Haus led me to believe they were an authorized service center and had techs who had "been to school."   Evaluation of Service Performed:   Within a minute they had identified a bad motor and need for bearings. They had no parts but had them overnighted at huge cost. Parts did not arrive overnight. They came on Saturday and no techs to help until Monday. I had to ask for a new filter and nozzle. This was not a thorough service. After driving home to Vermont, the burner failed again in two days. I was overcharged for parts by a lot. I learned they are not an authorized service center and it cost me well over $1,000 to learn this lesson. I will never take my Hydro Hot to anyone but an authorized technician who has parts on hand and will provide skilled and thorough service and support.   Value of Service:   Poor   Quality of Service:   Poor       Date of Service:   8/7/2009   Work Done on:   5th Wheel Trailer   Service Performed:   Hit the side of our RV making too sharp a turn. Needed new siding, door, steps and slideout alignment   Evaluation of Service Performed:   Expensive but excellent work. A little shoddy on communication with me.   Value of Service:   Good   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   6/9/2009   Company Contact:   DENISE, JOEY, PAUL, DAVE   Work Done on:   5th Wheel Trailer   Service Performed:   I HAD A LIST OF THINGS. I FIGURED IT WOULD COST ME $800 TO $1000   Evaluation of Service Performed:   THEY WERE ALL GREAT. THEY LET US STAY THERE AND USE OUR CAMPER DURING LUNCH. IT COST ME $478.26. THEY ARE HONEST PEOPLE!!!!!   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent   Email Address of Reviewer:   bdogrver@yahoo.net       Date of Service:   11/4/2008   Work Done on:   Class C   Service Performed:   Slide out not working, generator, oil changes and some other stuff.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   Very good and fast plus they do it while you wait. I have never been to a place like this. They let you go into the work area to check on the progress and check over the job. Why don't all the places let you do that???   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent   Email Address of Reviewer:   ahopper@rr.net       Date of Service:   6/8/2008   Company Contact:   Paul,Tammy,or Greg   Work Done on:   Class A - Diesel   Service Performed:   ONE OF THE STORAGE BAY HANDLES PASSENGERS SIDE IN FRONT OF ENTRANCE DOOR HANDLE BROKEN - REPLACED CHANGE OIL AND FILTER AND GREASE CHASSIS CHECK LEVEL IN DIFFERENTIAL AND ADD IF NESSARY SERVICE GENERATOR : CHANGE OIL, FILTER, LUBE THROTTLE LINKAGE AND VOLTAGE, CHECK AIR FILTER RECORD HERTZ AND VOLTAGE: - CHANGE AIR FILTER   Evaluation of Service Performed:   The work was excellent. Excellent treatment. I was very impressed with Paul my service adviser, and the fellow who did the actual work. I don't remember his name. They both were very good and helpful. They were very accommodating, and the price was fair and the work was excellent, and they kept me informed during the process.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   2/11/2008   Work Done on:   Class A - Diesel   Service Performed:   Large list of warranty things.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   Offer a loaner car or a discount rate with a rental car agency. They used to have loaners. Sometimes customers spend the whole day. I used Enterprise and when he dropped me off he asked if I would mind if he went and talked with them about setting up something like that. He did go in, but I don't know how far it went. They are an excellent facility, state of the art, neat, and clean. They encourage their customers to go into the bays with the techs and watch. A lot of places won't let you because of insurance reasons.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   1/21/2008   Company Contact:   Joey   Work Done on:   Class A - Diesel   Service Performed:   I had a list of things needed to be done before I left for a long trip. I had interior and chassis work.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   I've been all over the lower 48 and parts of Canada. This group in Amsterdam should be teaching all the rest how servicing RV's should be done.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   1/17/2008   Work Done on:   5th Wheel Trailer   Service Performed:   Anytime we have a problem they take care of us right away.

My family recommended Alpin Haus because they have a good reputation and are a local family who own it. They charge by the job not the hour and did the work while we waited. They were all very caring people.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   They showed my husband and I what they did. They ask us if we wanted too order in lunch while we waited. We wish we had a local Alpin Haus in Detroit.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   2/5/2007   Work Done on:   Class A - Diesel   Service Performed:   They are by far the best in the north east.

I spoke to a service man about how long they warranty their work? He said if something was done wrong we will fix it right, you don't want to put a time limit on something like that. It wasn't their fault he showed me where the bottom leg got pulled away. My son had his dog tied there. The fix was easy he said the bill is $20 or go out and send me in $100 worth of repair work from my friends.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   They glued in a wooden plug then drilled a new hole for my awning. He said only tie little dogs there no horses or big dogs. He was nice.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   7/8/2006   Work Done on:   Travel Trailer   Service Performed:   Our refrigerator stopped working.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   They did a darn good job. They said they were swamped but to bring it it. It needed to be cleaned, we never knew they have to be cleaned.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   6/1/2006   Work Done on:   Truck Campers   Service Performed:   The service department "repaired" our awning. I watched them store it after repair. The truck they used caused more damage to the jacks. The awning was not repaired properly and broke as it was wound too tightly. They charged extra to have part "Fed Ex'd" even though they had it for two weeks. I will not have further repairs done at Alpin Haus.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   Extremely Poor.   Value of Service:   Poor   Quality of Service:   Fair       Date of Service:   7/1/2005   Work Done on:   Class C   Service Performed:   We were on a trip coming back from Boston and our step was torn off because we forgot to put it in. The lady at the toll both said go to Alpin Haus because they hear a lot of good from other campers. They fix it enough for us to use it and till we could buy a new one.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   It is a good repair and I don't think I'll replace. The cost was $60 and they let us go in the shop to have our lunch. They were all so kind.   Value of Service:   Excellent   Quality of Service:   Excellent       Date of Service:   9/7/2004   Work Done on:   Class A - Gasoline   Service Performed:   Service call because the slide would not come in. The technician did not seem to know how to fix it, left the motor with one bolt and manually put the slide in. The rep at the store had no idea if they would be able to get a motor for us.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   VERY POOR, we will not use Alpin Haus again, even though we live 16 miles away.   Value of Service:   Poor   Quality of Service:   Poor       Date of Service:   8/24/2004   Work Done on:   Travel Trailer   Service Performed:   Warranty work on a Travel Trailer purchased from Alpin Haus to repair a leaking problem.   Evaluation of Service Performed:   We had to return the Travel Trailer back to the dealer 3 times before the problem was fixed.
