Vinnies North Bay Airstream Repair

Vinnie is a wealth of knowledge and has simple answers for every question. I am so impressed with his ceramic coating on my Airstream. I have had people come up to me and ask why it is so shiny. It looks so much better than when I picked it up at the dealer. He also recommended upgrading the wheels and tires. I swear it pulls better but these tires just seam so much beefier. I have so much more confidence in our upcoming cross country trip. Thank you Vinnie & crew!

Installed bike rack, new stovetop, and weboost on my AS....excellent service.

Vinnie is the absolute best! We just had installed 600 watts of solar + 3 battle-born batteries and we love it. We also had ceramic coating done on our 2017 27ft FBQ Tommy Bahama and it shines like new! We made a trip from all the way from AZ just to have the Airstream Whisperer work on our rig. Amazing attention to detail.

Everyone knows Vinnie’s North Bay Airstream Repair does exceptional work. Everyone who reads the Airstream Forum user boards knows people travel from across the country just to get repair work done by Vinnie Lamica, the owner of Vinnie’s Airstream. If you’ve ever been to a local Airstream event, it only takes a few minutes before someone finds a way to recommend Vinnie to fix whatever ails your Airstream trailer. He’s the shaman of Airstreams… the #AirstreamWhisperer. But then, my Airstream got into a little accident (my truly awesome storage facility rear-ended her into a pole --- yikes!) and I went from knowing Vinnie was “a thing” to needing Vinnie’s expertise. It got real. Real quick. And now I know why --> people travel from all the way across the country --> bypassing dozens of dealerships, qualified repair shops, and a host of options --> to get to Vinnie all the way up in Wilton, California. (And you should, too.)

You might have to wait a little while. But anything worth having is worth waiting for. 😊 Yes, the quality of Vinnie’s work is better than the dealers’ service departments and I believe is most likely better than you’ll see at Jackson Center (Airstream HQ). His prices are (smh)… well they’re just criminal… a crime to him, that is. He could make twice as much money, but that’s not his goal. He just loves people and Airstreams – and he wants to do good work that he enjoys. So he charges a MORE THAN FAIR price (well, “fair” for his customers). Vinnie can also do EVVVVVERYTHING – bodywork (check!), plumbing (check!), electrical (yep!), subfloor (check!), AC and heating (check!), tires and breaks (check!), leaks and windows and weatherproofing (check!), ceramic coating protection (check!), new technology (check-check-check!). The range of things that man can do in one shop is mind-blowing.

So what’s left to talk about that everyone who’s anyone (who knows about Airstreams) doesn’t already know? I’ll talk about service and communication – because I have never experienced anything like this in the RV/automotive/service oriented world. When Vinnie is working on your Airstream – even though you’re maybe hundreds of miles away, he’s in constant communication. He’s your new best friend. He just “gets” that your Airstream is like your “Aluminum Baby” and he makes darn sure you know what’s going on… Every Day. And he does it in plain and simple terms (and almost always with pictures or videos). His level of communication is just remarkable (and unheard of). You almost don’t want him to be done because the “project” is just so much darn fun. I figured out that’s why all the old-timers call Vinnie’s shop “The Airstream Ranch” or “The Airstream Spa” – because when they take their Aluminum Babies up to Wilton for some TLC, they know their little “pride and joys” are going to be given the very best of care. There was a cold weather front while my Airstream was being repaired and Vinnie put out an announcement on Facebook to let everyone know he had emptied their water tanks, etc. – so no one had to worry about anything freezing over, etc. You see, that’s just the kind of proactive, thoughtful communication that Vinnie offers to his customers. Behavior like that makes him more than just a business owner – he’s a sought-after leader in this tight-knit community.

Now that my Bella has spent some time at The Airstream Spa, I get it. I could barely get her to come home. And her little boo-boo from the storage facility… what boo-boo? It’s like it never happened. But my, oh how she enjoyed that vacation trip up north!

Enjoyed the drive out to his shop out in the country. Really fast service almost too fast.
