I`d say be careful. Look around the grounds. You will note a large number of old, abandoned RV`s. Look in the shop. You will note a small selection of odds and ends that are over-priced, dirty, and out of date. Then consider that Leo does his own work, but he`s not a certified mechanic. When I took my RV to him, I gave him $200 and asked him to rewire the trailer light harness from 6 pins to a 4 pin flat. L... view moreeo didn`t apparently have a multitester, and wired a hot pin for the trailer brake to ground. He burned up the electrical system in my motorhome and my trailer. I also asked him for new vent covers, and he installed used ones. I asked for a new shower nozzle, and he installed part of it, but left the rest out so now the shower sprays out the door. This was my mistake. I left my motorhome title in the van. He took it without permission. I later found out that he placed his own name on the title, and because you can modify a title in Idaho without a signature, he was able to file the title in another county. Thus, he placed his name on my motorhome. Additionally, after he blew the electrical system in the motorhome, he tried to fix it. He spent 10 hours trying to figure out what he had done. He was never able to repair that, and he never figured out that a pin for a trailer break would NOT be a ground! When I arrived to pick up the motorhome, the lights no longer worked. He then demanded another $600 for unauthorized repairs because he had fowled the wiring. We went to collections, and it was dismissed because obviously the repairs were unauthorized and he caused damage to the RV. Still, he had outsmarted me by stealing my title and putting his name on it. He`s clever that way, but not clever enough to test a wiring harness to figure out what is hot and what is ground. He has a very violent temper, and I was able to get my title back by giving him $500 and getting the sheriff to keep him in check. I also got the order for work, and again there is no signature authorizing repairs. When I asked him for the old parts, he told me that he had lost them. I am now taking him to small claims court to try to get some of this worked out. There is a reason that he can fix your RV over night. He simply does not have enough business because his reputation for dishonesty and poor work make smarter people choose another place. I recommend Bish or State Trailer Supply. Leo is a joke.
