About Us
“Welcome to our family!”

Creative Coach is located in Central Florida…serving the motorhome community nationwide from its 16,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility in Lakeland.

“All the worry and anxiety for naught!  Walking into the Featherlite Garage to see the results of a two month makeover for the first time reminded me of anxious moments in the distant past when the door opened to reveal a blind date!

BRAVO!  Your workmanship is impeccable and the final “look” won accolades at the 24 hour Daytona test days.  The quality of the end result was no accident.  Your expertise at custom painting is obvious.  Beyond that, the time and effort Robin spent with me on design and color coordination is highly appreciated.  It was apparent that my satisfaction was priority of your entire staff and it was obvious with the telephone calls, Fed Ex’d samples, altered specs, etc.  that your ultimate concern was getting it right for me.

Congratulations on a job well done!  You guys (and gal) are the best!

“I wanted to take a moment to let you know how pleased we are with the paint work that was done by the folks at Creative Coach in Lakeland Florida.

As you may recall, there were a number of serious deficiencies in the paint finish of our coach that required extensive rework, and you authorized us to have the work done at Creative Coach.  Glen and his crew did a splendid job, turning our coach from a unit with serious problems to a unit we are proud to own and show to our friends.

If the work they did for us is typical of their work (and I know it is, having looked at a number of other coaches in for body and paint work at their facility) I would not hesitate to highly recommend their services to anyone in need of this type of work.  They take great pride in their work, and took extra care to ensure that we were completely satisfied with the finished product.

Thank you for giving us this opportunity to have our unit services at Creative Coach.”

“You must have heard it from so many other people who drive away with fantastic looking coaches, but we want to add to the Praises. 

It is so unusual to find a business whose People go beyond what the customer expected or even asked for; but somehow you manage to perform the “going the extra mile” consistently.

This is our second time having “stuff” done.

Our coach speaks well of your work ethic and quality.

Thanks so much

P.S.  It’s a pleasure to see cheerful employees; it sure makes it comfortable for the customer”.

“It is a pleasure to acknowledge the excellent job you did in refinishing my coach.

As you know, I was very concerned as to the outcome.  Thankfully, you lived up to your reputation, as the best. 

Thank you for your excellent job.”

Allen & Bev Conley

“Thank you for your prompt and courteous service.  Your shop did in one day what several other shops estimated would be a 1 or 2 week down time.  It is nice to find a rose among the thorns.”

George Clampet                                               October 27, 2003

“We are owners of the tiger trailer/coach that you did for Millennium Coaches.  We have been so busy since picking up the coach that we have not had a chance to write you, but we just wanted to thank you for the immaculate job that you did on our trailer.  We have had paint work done before by other companies but have never been as impressed with the job as what we were with yours.  We have already told two other people who have trailers to be painted to contact you.  Nelson @ Millennium picked a good company when he picked you to the work for us.  Thank you so much.”

 

Al Packwood                                                    November 17, 2003

            “I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the professionals at Creative Coach for the fine work you performed on my coach.

            Not only was your work outstanding but it was completed on time even though this project was met with some unusual challenges.

            Please rest assured that I will tell anyone who will listen that when they have any collision or paint work to be performed, Creative Coach is the place to go to.

            Your staff is unusually patient with the customer and the quality is unmatched on the planet.”

 

Bill Sprague                                                     April 8, 2004

            “ I started this thread on 1/20/04.

            Today the work is complete.  It was done by Creative Coach in Lakeland FL.

            The work done is spectacular.  Quality work is never done quickly and it ended up taking a few more days than expected.  But, the results are fantastic.

            While I was there we were encouraged to camp in their parking lot with a pleasant view of their lawn and trees.  They plugged us in every night before they went home.  Others were camping there too.

            During the stay I watched Creative Coach work on several coaches and some custom “toy trailers”.  Their work is so good; I can’t imagine how anyone could do better.

            I will never damage my motor home again, but if I do I will make every effort to take it to Lakeland.”

 

Neva Summerall-Willow Tree Resort                 October 14, 2004

            “Thank you for taking the time and working with us on the Rutherford Coach.  I want to express how helpful and courteous your staff has been to me in this situation.  I have driven by your place of business many times as I am from Lakeland and my father lives in Polk City.  It is good to know that businesses where I am from are still the way I remember.

            Our park is a “big rig” friendly park and we will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone needing repair of their coach.  The next time I am in Lakeland I will come by and thank you personally.”

 

Gary & Gail Eaton                                            August 3, 2005

            “We want to take this opportunity to again thank all of the employees at Creative Coach for the excellent work that you recently completed on our coach.  From the very day we arrived we received first-rate attention and were made to feel special.  The accident and resulting damage was such a traumatic ordeal for both of us.  The people at Creative Coach went well beyond the call of duty to give us a renewed sense of pride concerning our motor home.  The work was flawless and beyond reproach.  We think our coach looks better now than it did when we took delivery of it 5 ˝ years ago.

            We can’t name everyone by name that spent so much time in our motor home.  Tim worked everyday and did an excellent job.  Glen has a very discerning eye to be able to match the colors so perfectly.  He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable during our stay, even providing us with DVD movies to fill our evenings.  Jose installed the 3M mask flawlessly.  It looks so great.  There are more employees that we wish we could name.  Suffice to say that we extend our heartfelt thanks to the whole crew, especially the ones that spent many hours on our motor home, making it look new again.  We were always made to feel welcome in the shop and indeed were even invited to observe all steps in the repair procedure.  Craig was always so patient to answer our many questions and explain everything to us.

            We intend to spread the word about the quality work performed at Creative Coach.  Service facilities of this caliber are sometimes hard to find when you need them.

            Again, thanks so much for all of your efforts.  Magnifico!!!”

            “We can’t thank you enough for all the time, effort and enthusiasm that has gone into Reviving “The Rig”!  What a special holiday for and the future.  People have already been asking, looking, inquiring-trying not to everyone else off the road!  We’re real excited and Happy about this.

            "Thanks again."

 

 

Larry Byrd                                                        September 29, 2006

            “The package of carpet for our 2005 Dynasty arrived safely and in good condition.  Fortunately, the match between the carpet you sent and the original carpet is great, so no problem there.  I and my wife sincerely appreciate the great work you and your team did in getting numerous loose ends addressed and fixed to our satisfaction.  I don’t think we could have received that quality and prompt attention to detail anywhere else.  Your family has always given us first-class service on our vehicles, and we are grateful.”

 

John & Pat Ibeling                                            January 21, 2007

            “Spectacular, Beautiful, Amazing.”  “These are just a few of the comments we have received regarding our coach’s new graphics and colors.  More importantly, Pat and I fully agree with these assessments.  You have converted our ho-hum exterior into a work of art.  We are very pleased with the outcome.

            We also wanted to compliment you on the friendly and professional way we were treated by everyone we have dealt with at Creative Coach.  Your staff excelled at answering our questions and explaining to us the details of the both exterior and interior segments or our rehab project.  Everyone made us feel welcome.

            I guess the real measure of our satisfaction with Creative Coach’s work is that we have lost the new coach bug.  Our “new” old coach is pretty much exactly what we wanted and at a fraction of the coast of a new coach.  We are already thinking about where to spend our savings.”

 

Ted & Karen Campbell                                     August 14, 2007

            “This is Ted Campbell and Karen wanting to thank you, your family and staff for a great job.  We are so pleased with the repairs and the windshield got a rain test and passed.  It is nice to know that there are still quality people doing work out there today.”

 

Robert Haught                                                

            “Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the body damage repair you and folks there did recently on our coach.  Glen always took good care of us; picking up the coach in the morning and delivering it back in the evening and, most importantly, always keeping us aware of what was next.  And, true to his work, we really cannot tell where it was damaged.

            No repair experience can ever be completely enjoyable.  But you and your folks made ours there at your facility about as close to that as possible.”

 

Chris Hall-Blue Water Yacht Sales                    February 18, 2008

            “WOW!  What a fantastic job you guys did on our 2007 Liberty/Prevost motor coach and Gold Rush stacker trailer!

            We pulled into the Liberty Coach Rally in Stuart about three hours after we left your shop.  The entire crowd swarmed us and I have never experienced so many positive compliments.  Everyone was in awe!  Remarks such as “Is it wet paint?”, “Who in the world painted it?”, “Unbelievable”, and “The most awesome rig I have seen” were abundant.

            We sincerely thank all of you for such a pleasant and professional transaction.  The design and quality of the paint job is exceptional.”

 

 

Hank Wicke

            “Thank you for taking care of our “Rig”!  It’s always been our pleasure to visit as well as get the busy work done also!  Thanks a lot!”

 

Richard & Carol Cook                                      July 7, 2008

            “Just a note to say thanks for a job well done.  It is above and beyond what we expected.  We are so proud of our new coach and show it off everyday.  Pass sincere thanks to Richard and his crew.  They were always polite, courteous, and helpful.  What can we say about our new dear friend Craig, he would be an asset to any company involved in customer service business.  He is the best.  Be assured we are telling everybody we come in contact with about Creative Coach.”

 

Gus & Betsy Harrison                                      August 29, 2008

            “We want to thank you for the wonderful job you and all of your “Great Workers” at Creative Coach did on our “White” 2008 Beaver Contessa.  From the very beginning you came up with so many beautiful designs it was difficult to choose the one we finally used.  You e-mailed many different designs in color and that was a big help in deciding on the final plan.

            You were very good about sending us pictures as the work progressed.  We really enjoyed seeing what the paint job looked as time went by.  The factory paint job for the ’08 Contessa is really nothing compared to our “one of a kind.”  Since we picked up our wonderful coach in May, we have spent several weeks at Mount Olive Shores North.  You can’t believe the number of compliments we have received from people there.  And, also at the Naval Base family campground in Key West, we were the talk of the week!

            You can be very proud of the wonderful work of art you produce in the painting of our coach.  It is a job “Well Done”.  As we said before it is truly “one of a kind”.”

 

 

Hank Wicke,

“Thank you so much for all that you have done for us.  We are very pleased with the whole “Creative Coach Experience”.  I (we) have no question about whom anyone should go for to have whatever they want become “Artistry.  Thank you all again”.

My family and I would like to extend our warmest thanks to all of you who worked so hard to create a customized coach for our needs.  It truly is a work of art and a thing of beauty!  My wife and I are already thinking about all of the places we'll go and the wonderful memories we'll create as we take our one year old twins on road trips across the country!  You can be certain that we will spread the word to all of our family and friends, as well as the people we meet in our travels about your fabulous product.  Not to mention the customer service and attention to every detail from start to finish.

We just can't thank you all enough for the quality of the workmanship to our 2001 Country Coach Intrigue.  Please do not hesitate to have anyone call us so that we may share our experience with them.

Jeanne and I both want you to know how completely thrilled and pleased we are with the renovation you performed on our Foretravel Pheonix.  From the design and selection of fabrics, carpet and furniture by Robin to the woodwork and craftsmanship by Richard, you have truly created a one of a kind interior.  The designers at Foretravel would be jealous.  We can hardly wait to get on the road to enjoy the new comfort liveability.

For a coach with so few miles, we had many "bugs" to get rid of and Lester and Glenn did a masterful job of  "exterminating".  They are both the very best.

Thanks to you all for a great job.

We wanted to thank you and the Creative Coach Family for the superb work you did on our coach.  From you, of course, to Glenn, to the sander that worked on our coach, the painters, and even the guys that power washed it clean.  Each was professional, but also friendly.  And, Thank you once again for getting us done so quickly.  Another job well done, and appreciated!!!

We have just left your facility for the 2nd year in a row with smiles and gratitude for having all of our work accomplished in an outstanding manner.

Our original visit last year was a detailing of our 2002 Monaco Diplomat.  For that, we would like to extend our sincere thanks to the professional care that Glenna and his team provided.  The detail brought back our motorhome to practically showroom quality and we were very pleased with the results.  We appreciate very much the replacement of a decal that had a minor damage during the detailing, too.

This year brings us back for the installation of a new 22 inch flat screen TV and modification to the dabinet for the bedroom.  Richard did an exceptional job in framing the cabinet and matching existing wordwork.

Additionally, our appreciation to Glenn for the routine oil change.

Mr. Brayman, we have found a place that cares about us and our motorhome and it is our intent to continue with Creative Coach for future work.  Your company will be one that we highly recommend to our fellow RVers.

Thank you for the great job you did on our Mountain Aire.  We really gave it a test going north through the Carolina's on a washboard I-95!  Everything was as quiet and tight as could be.  We are still getting used to the TV, stereo, etc. settings, but it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks!!  Thank you and your team for teh great work.  The woodwork that Richard did is spectacular-better than the original.  God bless you all.

Craig, Thank you so much for picking me up at the airport & the outstanding job you did on the extensive damage I did to both sides of my coach.  I returned to the dealer I bought it from and he was amazed at the excellent workmanship after seeing the pictures of the damage.  He brought people out from the dealership to see it and said "here is a lesson, firstly in pride and unbelievable body work".  Your people should be proud.
