Holding Tank Repair - Any shops in Nashville????

[neely butler]

Mike, Thanks for your reply. Local shop estimated $300-400 labor plus any
parts. Seems reasonable but they have never worked of a GMC before. Where
is Alex? Do you have a phone # for him? Thanks again.

Mike,
Again, thanks a million. Talked with Jeff (Alex's son), he was such a nice
person, explained in detail ramifications regarding removal and installation
of tank. Only wish they were nearer so I could get them to do the job. Now
I know what is involved. Will let you know outcome. Looks like a cold
front moving in for tonight. Must turn on furnace and water heater. Temp
up to 70 yesterday, expected to be in 20's tonight.

Sounds pretty high to me!

I got a quote from Alex on a new holding tank awhile back
It was a little over $200 (like $225 or $230??) as I recall.
I think install was estimated at 2-4 hours???

As it turned out they looked at mine and only had to repair
the "gate" - it cost less than $100 - parts and all.

Can not imagine $400 - $500 in labor, but then again you
couldn't pay me enough to do that job

Seems to me there was a GMC shop somewhere in TN???? Maybe
someone out there can tell you where.

Good luck
Mike F

Still have sewer holding tank problems after many flushings and feeble
checking. Called new place in Nashville (Camper's Corner), asked for
estimate to remove, repair, and replace tank. Answer, $600 to $700. Is this
this reasonable???Have not called Camping World as yet.

Neely,

Call Alex at 941-763-1121, if he is not there ask for Jeff
(his son). They are in Florida but will ship to you. Might
be able to drop ship - but you will have to ask them if
they can do that.
