Coach remodeling

[Al]

I have dealt with Coachcraft by MacDonald and will provide my too
cents. Yes they are very busy and very slow. I guess that comes
when you offer outstanding worksmanship. I did not find that they
were any more expensive than any other Bus Repair service. But if
they are look at their yard. It is full of RVs and Buses for a
reason. It's not the expense but the quality of the product. When
a business is good at what they do, then the people who use that
business are willing to pay a premium for the work. I do agree on
the slowness of the pace of work but I would rather know the job was
completed right the first time than rush them to complete. Only to
find out they cut corners. Let's face it, how many times have you
started on a project on your bird only to have it snow-ball into
other areas that needed attention to fix your project. These
machines are not cookie cutter type vehicles.
To sum it up, I am happy with the work they performed on my
bird. I will make the drive from South Louisiana to them for work on
by bird anytime. Just wish I was close to Coachcraft by MacDonald
because I would be a frequent customer of them. Want to change out
one of my sofas in the next year or two and it will be handled by
Coachcraft by MacDonald.
