American Coach Models We Service (Chassis Only)
Brisbon Automotive provides specialized repair and maintenance services focused exclusively on the automotive chassis utilized by American Coach’s luxury motorhomes.

Available Services and Repairs for American Coach Motorhomes
Your American Coach is a high-end investment built on a heavy-duty chassis from manufacturers like Spartan and Freightliner. It requires a service facility with the tools and expertise to match. We provide comprehensive chassis service for your specific platform, from a 45-foot luxury coach to a 37-foot diesel pusher.
Preventative Maintenance
Protecting your luxury coach requires meticulous, scheduled care. We perform the chassis-specific service for your Spartan or Freightliner platform, including high-capacity oil/filter changes for your Cummins engine, full chassis lubrication, and hydraulic system checks for slide-outs and leveling jacks (as they relate to the chassis).
Brake System Repairs
The massive weight of an American Coach is managed by a full air brake system. Our technicians are experts in this system, servicing the Bendix air dryers, checking S-cam brake adjustment, and replacing brake chambers or pads. We ensure your coach’s stopping power is 100% reliable.
Engine and Transmission Services
This is our core specialty. We handle advanced “Check Engine” light diagnostics for your Cummins ISX, ISL, or X15 engine, addressing fuel system or turbocharger issues. We also provide full service and fluid/filter changes for the heavy-duty Allison 6-speed automatic transmission to ensure its longevity.
Suspension and Steering System Maintenance
A smooth, precise ride is the promise of a luxury coach. We service the full air ride suspension, including ride height control valves and air springs. Many American Coach models feature an Independent Front Suspension (IFS), which our heavy-duty alignment rack is specifically designed to service, eliminating steering wheel “play” and driver fatigue.
Cooling System Maintenance
Your diesel pusher features a high-capacity, side-mounted radiator. Our service involves a complete inspection of this “cooling stack,” including the charge air cooler (CAC) and hydraulic fan assembly. We replace belts, hoses, and thermostats to guarantee protection against overheating.
Electrical System Diagnostics and Repairs
The 12-volt chassis electrical system in your coach is incredibly complex. We are skilled in troubleshooting multiplex wiring, diagnosing instrument cluster faults, and testing the high-output alternator and chassis battery bank to ensure your coach starts and runs reliably.
Note: We do not service the 120V “house” electrical system.
Exhaust System Repairs
Our technicians service the entire exhaust path, from the turbo to the tailpipe. This includes ensuring your engine’s exhaust brake (Jake brake) is functioning correctly and repairing any leaks. We also maintain all diesel aftertreatment components to keep you emissions-compliant.
Tire Services
A fault in the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system can stop your trip. We go beyond just refills; we provide full diagnostics for DEF-related warning codes. We can test and replace failed DEF heads, pumps, and heaters to resolve “limp mode” issues and ensure your engine runs at full power.
DEF System Maintenance (for Diesel Engines)
For modern Airstream models built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter diesel chassis, the Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system is essential for emissions control. Our services include DEF tank refills, system diagnostics for any DEF-related warning lights, and cleaning or replacing sensors and injectors to ensure your vehicle runs clean and complies with all emissions standards.
