A few years ago I did minor damaged to two bay doors on a rock wall. My frustration was not only the accident but in trying to fix the bay doors. Most places wanted to replace the skins or replace the doors. The estimates were $3,000-4,500 dollars.
In Bullhead City, AZ (across the river from Laughlin) we went to Desert Ridge Collision and Paint Center owned by Marcelo Testero for an estimate. He not only suggested replacing the skins or doors but also suggested repairing and refinishing them with the total cost of $1,670.
Marcelo did the work, his workmanship was outstanding. His family starting with his grandfather(in Italy), father and brothers are all in the repairing and refinishing business. Marcelo retired from owning eight different shops in Southern California but after one year he missed working so started a business in Bullhead, AZ.
The doors look great inside and out. Marcelo said he doesn't have space for motorhomes to stay but can do minor or medium damage on coaches. We would recommend him highly.

I do not know if the shop does body work, but I do know that the Navarro brothers in Algodones (just southwest of Yuma, in Mexico) do magnificent paint work, for a fraction of the cost in the US. It may be worth a visit. Just be ready for outrageous waits to get through ICE and back into your own country.
