Buying:
* Dealerships (unlikely): Dodge dealerships themselves are unlikely to sell used conversion vans. They primarily focus on new vehicles.
* Used Car Dealerships: Many used car dealerships, both large and small, might have conversion vans in their inventory. Check their websites or visit in person.
* Private Sellers: This is a common way to find conversion vans. Websites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and specialized RV/van forums are good places to start. Be sure to thoroughly inspect any van you're considering buying privately.
* Online Classifieds: Websites specializing in RVs and used vehicles (e.g., RV Trader, AutoTrader) often list conversion vans.
Fixing:
* Local Mechanics: A general mechanic might be able to handle basic repairs, like engine or transmission issues. However, more specialized repairs might require a different approach.
* RV Repair Shops: These specialize in repairs for RVs and conversion vans, making them a good option for issues related to the interior, plumbing, electrical systems, and other conversion-specific components.
* Specialized Conversion Van Shops: Some shops focus solely on the repair and customization of conversion vans. These are likely to be your best bet for complex repairs or restoration work. Finding these might require online searches or recommendations.
* Mobile Mechanics: A mobile mechanic can come to you, which is convenient if your van isn't drivable.
* DIY (Do It Yourself): If you have mechanical skills, you might be able to tackle some repairs yourself. However, tackling major repairs without experience is risky.
Finding specific shops: To find appropriate shops near you, I recommend searching online using terms like:
* "Dodge conversion van repair [your city/state]"
* "RV repair near me"
* "[Your city/state] conversion van mechanics"
Remember to always get multiple quotes before committing to any repairs and carefully check the reputation of any mechanic or seller you choose. Read online reviews and ask for references if possible.
