RV Repair in Ontario, CA: Serious Service for Working Rigs
Ontario RVs work for a living. This is a city of full-timers parked near the airport, snowbirds staging off the 10 and the 15, and storage rows along Mission and Archibald holding everything from vintage Lazy Dazes to 45-foot pushers. Rigs with real miles on them need a shop that digs for the cause instead of treating the symptom. McBride's RV Service & Paint is fifteen minutes west in Chino, family-owned since 1967, with every trade an RV needs under one roof.
Where do Ontario RV owners go for chassis and engine work?
To us, and usually after trying a truck shop that would not touch the house side or an RV lot that would not touch the drivetrain. McBride's does both. Our chassis repair and maintenance service covers the Ford F-53 gas platform and Freightliner and Spartan diesels: engine service, transmission, cooling, suspension, and the brake work that a heavy coach on the 15 depends on. Because the same shop handles roof airs, water heaters and Aqua-Hot, and generators, the coach comes back whole, not half-fixed.
Does McBride's offer scheduled RV maintenance for Ontario?
Yes, and for high-use Ontario rigs it is the cheapest insurance there is. The program bundles chassis fluids and filters, generator service on factory intervals, roof and seal inspection, bearing and brake checks, and a house-systems test. The dedicated RV maintenance in Ontario page describes the program for local owners, and the maintenance hub shows the full menu. It matters even more if you live in the rig. A cooling leak found early is a hose. Found late, it can be a head gasket.
Who does RV generator service near Ontario?
McBride's is a Cummins Onan authorized service center. In practice that means factory intervals, factory parts, stored fault-code reads, and a load bank run that proves the set can carry your actual air conditioners before you pick the coach up. Gas Marquis and QG sets, diesel Quiet Diesel sets, long-sit fuel problems, no-starts, and the surging idle that traces back to a varnished carburetor: all routine here. If your generator lives on an inverter-heavy coach and rarely runs, ask us about the monthly loaded exercise that keeps it alive.
Can I get collision, paint, and fiberglass work done in the same shop?
Yes. The paint and body side runs an enclosed booth that takes 40-foot coaches, with PPG color matching for panel blends and full-body repaints. Freeway rash from the 60, a clipped corner in a tight storage aisle, cracked gelcoat, delamination bubbles: we repair the structure and the finish, in-house. When another driver or a storm caused it, our insurance claims service documents everything and deals with your adjuster directly. We are a preferred repair shop for multiple carriers and handle AAA, Progressive, and GEICO claims all the time. Roof work, slide-outs, awnings, windows, and travel trailers complete the roster.
How do I get to McBride's from Ontario?
Head west on the 60 and exit Central Avenue, or run Euclid Avenue south and turn west; either way you are at 13788 Oaks Ave in Chino in about fifteen minutes from most of Ontario. Coming from the airport area, Archibald south to the 60 west is the clean route. Call (909) 627-7566 first and we will have the bay scheduled.
How does pricing work?
There is nothing complicated about it. The estimate you approve includes a parts budget declared up front, and the final bill tracks the parts actually fitted, with your approval required for any change. Before work begins, a tech shows you the problem on the coach itself. That is how the shop has done it since 1967, and it is why Ontario owners drive past three other shops to get here.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, and we plan the work to minimize your nights out of the coach. Tell us your situation when you book and we will sequence around it.
Can you service both my engine and my refrigerator in one visit?

My coach got sideswiped on the 60. What do I do first?
Photograph everything, then call us at (909) 627-7566. We will document it properly, write the estimate, and take over the adjuster conversation.
