Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I check on my RV before a Florida road trip?

    Before traveling, inspect tires, brakes, battery, roof seals, and air conditioning systems for wear caused by heat and humidity. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we recommend scheduling a pre-trip inspection to catch issues early and avoid breakdowns on the road.
  • How does Florida's climate affect RV systems?

    Heat and humidity accelerate wear on seals, electrical systems, batteries, and air conditioning units in RVs. Extended storage in the sun can cause roof and slide seal damage. Regular inspections help identify weather-related problems before they lead to costly repairs.
  • Can you repair RVs at my location in Orlando?

    Yes, mobile RV repair is available depending on the issue and your location. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we bring tools and experience to homes, storage lots, or campgrounds, reducing the need for towing and helping you get back on the road faster.
  • What's the difference between mobile and in-shop auto repair?

    Mobile repair is performed at your location for convenience and emergencies, while in-shop repair offers full access to specialized equipment and controlled conditions. Diagnostic work, brake jobs, and minor electrical issues often work well on-site, while major engine or transmission repairs typically require shop facilities.
  • When should I schedule a trailer safety inspection?

    Inspect trailers before heavy use, long trips, or after extended storage. Key components include brakes, bearings, wiring, axles, and safety chains. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we recommend annual inspections to maintain safe, road-ready performance.
  • What causes boat electrical system failures in Central Florida?

    Sun exposure, humidity, and frequent use can corrode wiring, drain batteries, and damage connections in freshwater boats. Regular inspections help catch these issues early. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we troubleshoot and repair electrical problems to keep your boat safe and reliable.
  • How do solar upgrades improve RV off-grid performance?

    Solar systems provide independent power for lights, appliances, and devices without relying on shore power or generators. Proper wiring, battery capacity, and panel placement are essential for efficiency. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we design safe, reliable upgrades for extended travel.
  • What's the biggest mistake RV owners make with maintenance?

    Skipping pre-trip inspections and ignoring minor issues like seal leaks or worn brakes. Small problems often escalate during travel, leading to breakdowns and expensive repairs. Regular checkups and timely fixes keep RVs road-ready and prevent costly surprises.
  • Are mobile truck repairs reliable for work vehicles?

    Yes, mobile truck repair reduces downtime by bringing diagnostics and fixes to your job site or fleet location. Common services include brake work, battery replacement, and electrical troubleshooting. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we help keep work trucks operational with fast, professional on-site service.
  • How does a pre-purchase inspection protect buyers?

    Inspections reveal hidden mechanical, electrical, and safety issues before you buy a vehicle, RV, boat, or trailer. This helps you avoid costly surprises and negotiate fairly. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we provide honest assessments backed by over 8 years of hands-on experience.
  • What factors affect the cost of RV repairs?

    Repair costs depend on the type of system, parts availability, labor complexity, and whether service is mobile or in-shop. Issues like roof leaks, electrical failures, and appliance replacements vary widely. Clear diagnostics and upfront communication help set realistic expectations.
  • Can aftermarket audio systems interfere with vehicle electronics?

    Yes, improper wiring or installation can cause electrical drain, interfere with factory systems, or trigger warning lights. Professional installation ensures safe integration with existing electronics. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we diagnose and repair audio issues with attention to detail and safety.
  • What types of boat repairs can be done dockside?

    Most engine diagnostics, electrical troubleshooting, fuel system service, battery replacement, and cooling system repairs can be performed right at your dock. At Just N Case Auto, Marine & RV Repair, we bring diagnostic equipment and tools to your location for both outboard and inboard engine work, eliminating the need to trailer your boat.
  • How does mobile RV repair service work?

    A certified technician arrives at your location with diagnostic tools and equipment to assess and repair your RV on-site. Services include slide-outs, electrical systems, leveling jacks, brakes, and appliance repairs. At Just N Case, we offer 24/7 mobile service throughout Orlando and surrounding areas to minimize downtime.
  • Can you diagnose a boat engine without removing it?

    Yes, modern diagnostic equipment allows technicians to test fuel delivery, compression, ignition systems, and electrical components while the engine remains installed. At Just N Case, we perform comprehensive diagnostics for both outboard and inboard engines at your dock or marina, identifying issues without the need for removal in most cases.
  • What affects the cost of RV electrical system repairs?

    The scope of damage, number of circuits involved, accessibility of wiring, and whether components need replacement all influence cost. Solar panel systems, inverter upgrades, and charge controller installations typically require more labor than simple wiring repairs. At Just N Case, we provide transparent assessments before starting electrical work on RVs.
  • When should you service a boat's cooling system?

    Freshwater boats should have cooling systems inspected annually, especially before and after the boating season. If you notice overheating, steam, or temperature warning lights, immediate service is needed. In Orlando's warm climate, cooling system maintenance helps prevent engine damage during extended use on local lakes.
  • What's the difference between outboard and inboard engine repairs?

    Outboard engines are externally mounted and easier to access for repairs, while inboard engines are inside the hull and require more specialized access. Both require fuel system, electrical, and cooling system service, but inboard repairs often take longer due to confined workspace. At Just N Case, we're equipped to service both configurations.
  • Do RV slide-outs require regular maintenance?

    Yes, slide-out mechanisms need periodic lubrication, seal inspection, and alignment checks to prevent binding and leaks. Annual maintenance before travel season helps avoid costly repairs. At Just N Case, we service slide-out motors, hydraulic systems, and seals to keep them operating smoothly throughout Orlando's humid climate.
  • Can a mobile mechanic fix a no-start boat engine?

    Most no-start issues like dead batteries, faulty ignition components, fuel delivery problems, or starter failures can be diagnosed and repaired on-site. At Just N Case, our mobile marine technicians bring battery testers, diagnostic scanners, and replacement parts directly to your dock for same-day service in many cases.
  • What are the benefits of pre-trip RV inspections?

    Pre-trip inspections identify mechanical, electrical, and safety issues before you travel, preventing roadside breakdowns. Technicians check brakes, tires, lighting, slide-outs, leveling systems, and fluid levels. At Just N Case, we provide comprehensive RV inspections in Orlando to ensure safe, reliable travel for families and full-time RVers.
  • How do you maintain trailer brakes and bearings?

    Trailer bearings should be repacked with grease annually or every 10,000 miles, and brake systems inspected for wear and proper adjustment. Regular maintenance prevents wheel bearing failure and ensures safe towing. At Just N Case, we service utility, cargo, and recreational trailers with thorough brake and bearing inspections.
  • What's the biggest mistake boat owners make with fuel systems?

    Leaving ethanol-blended fuel in the tank during storage causes varnish buildup, clogged injectors, and corrosion in freshwater boat engines. Always use fuel stabilizer and run the engine dry before extended storage. At Just N Case, we clean fuel systems and recommend maintenance schedules for Orlando-area boaters.
  • Can solar panel systems be added to older RVs?

    Yes, solar panels, charge controllers, inverters, and battery banks can be installed on nearly any RV regardless of age. Upgrades improve off-grid capability and reduce generator reliance. At Just N Case, we design and install custom solar and electrical systems tailored to your RV's power needs and usage patterns.
