RV Collision Restoration at Leale’s RV Repair in Gilroy CA

Our customer accidentally hit something during a right hand turn that

smashed in two cabin doors and crushed the holding box within.

This was a serious RV Repair & Collision Restoration Job.

These cabin doors were too damaged to repair and needed to be replaced with ones fabricated at Leale’s RV Repair in Gilroy CA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The RV cabin doors were too damaged to be repaired and had to be fabricated

in our RV body, Paint & Repair Shop because they were not attainable from the manufacturer.

To repair the RV the cabin boxes were pounded out, re-welded, painted and lined.

The customers were totally surprised and delighted with the new cabin doors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then the smashed cabin doors were carefully measured and

exactly replicated in our RV Repair, Body & Paint Shop.

The newly fabricated RV cabin doors were mounted and repainted.

1998 Dodge 2500 4×4 Truck Towed in for Serious Transmission Problem

A 1998 Dodge 2500 4×4 Truck was towed into our shop with what sounded like very serious transmission problem.

Two other shops recommended a rebuild. The 1998 Dodge Truck transmission started making horrible grinding gears noises after hitting a large bump in the road. The owner called Leale’s Transmissions in San Jose after he had called two other transmission repair shops, both of which recommended rebuilding his transmission.

1998 Dodge 2500 4×4 Truck Transmission was repaired instead of rebuilt due to a broken snap ring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While on the phone Jim Leale asked the owner if the Dodge Truck would go into 4 low and if it would move under power without noise. The owner gave it a try and it worked! Jim said the problem might be a broken snap ring for the 4 wheel drive, but needed a bit more in testing to be sure.

The owner towed the 4×4 Dodge Truck into Leale’s for a Transmission repair, not a transmission rebuild.

The broken snap ring occurred when the truck hit the large bump in the road. The greater force of the impact broke the snap ring which was the weakest part in the gear box. After that the gears were miss-aligned which created the loud grinding noise.

The snap ring was easily replaced and the 1998 Dodge 2500 4×4 manual transmission worked perfectly again as it did not require a transmission rebuild. http://ht.ly/aQYdq

BMW Transmission Repaired Fast & For Less at Leale’s In San Jose

07′ BMW 335i 6 speed transmission with 45k miles was repaired in San Jose for $3,700 at Leale’s, but at the dealer it would have been almost 10k.

The BMW Paddling Shifting Transmission was slipping in gear, delivering hard up & down shifting and would drift backwards when shifted into neutral.

BMW 335i Transmission Repaired in San Jose at Leale's

No check engine light ever cam on from the twin turbo BMW which made it difficult for the dealer to diagnose. Dealer’s don’t do on-site transmission rebuilding. They don’t train their technicians to rebuild transmissions so they don’t have the troubleshooting skills and knowledge. If the BMW Transmission repair is external and basic they will perform the repair but typically at a huge cost.

Mechatronics Module for a BMW Transmission

Leale’s quickly diagnosed the problem to be the Mechatronics Module (Valve Body with 7 solenoids) and then fixed it for less. But there was also an internal problem that required the transmission to be dissembled and examined. A broken spring was found and replaced as well as a few seals, the transmission was re-assembled, a new Mechatronics Module was installed and the system was reprogrammed to shift and operate correctly.

Repair of leaking RV tires turned out to be the replacement of standard tire valve stems with filtered stems.

Family vacation was put on hold until a problem with leaking RV tires was solved. It turned out to require the replacement of standard tire valve stems with filtered stems.

RV Dealer + Other Motorhome Repair Shops Honoring Factory Warranty in San Jose Unable to Repair Refrigerator.

A Class A RV refrigerator was not repairable by the motorhome dealer and other RV repair shops honoring the RV factory warranty in San Jose.

From day one, the refrigerator never got cool enough, kept burning out cooling units and other parts. The refrigerator was eventually replaced, but again, was never able to reach cool temperatures.

RV Refrigerator Repair in San Jose at Leale's RV Repair

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eventually, the RV was delivered to Leale’s RV Repair in San Jose. The Shop Forman, Dan Brake, examined the refrigerator exhaust pipe and found it to be completely blocked. What probably happened was at the factory, during the process of building the Motorhome, the roof was cut out and the vent was installed, but the wood cut-out was never removed from the vent and the sheet metal connecting the vent to the refrigerator was not secured and became completely disconnected. The coach refrigerator was unable to vent its hot air and cool, therefore could never run correctly with the exhaust pipe opening closed. Once the vent pipe was cleared and correctly attached, the refrigerator and vent worked perfectly.
