goHomePort, the parent company of RV storage, rentals and service/repairs businesses, received a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition “in recognition of outstanding and invaluable service to the community” from the office of Rep. John James of Michigan’s 10th congressional district. The certificate was presented at the ribbon cutting for its newest RV Service and Repairs shop in Metro Detroit.
Presented by Lisa Damon-Brown, director of community relations for Congressman John James, the award was accepted by Mike Douglas, president of goHomePort RV Service and Repairs and Mike Low, Operations Manager for the new Warren, Michigan, location. The ribbon cutting ceremony was officiated by John Long, vice president of marketing and business development of Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce. It was attended by Macomb County Commissioner Gus Ghanam and Melody Magee, City of Warren council vice president, as well as other local business owners and members of the community.
Co-located with Warren RV Storage, goHomePort RV Service and Repairs is the sixth goHomePort shop to open nationally. RV owners who store their vehicle on-site can receive convenient valet service from storage space to service bay; goHomePort is also open to the public, offering short wait times and premier service, the company said. With four service bays in this new location, goHomePort brings its reputation for guest service from its current base of operations in Colorado and Missouri. goHomePort plans to open additional shops in Kansas, California and Texas later this year.
“It was an honor to receive the Congressional Certificate of Recognition on behalf of our Warren, Michigan, and support teams that have worked hard over the last several months to open our first location in Michigan,” said Douglas. “We appreciate the support of the Southeast Michigan Chamber of Commerce, Councilwoman Magee, Commissioner Ghanam, Congressman James and local business owners and customers. We look forward to delivering a high level of service to the Warren and Greater Detroit Metro communities for years to come.”
Mike Low, operations manager, cut the ribbon while guests enjoyed a time of networking with a pizza lunch from Gambino’s Food Truck afterward.
“Feedback from our new customers has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Low. “Many of them store on-site and are excited to be able to receive service when otherwise they might be waiting weeks or months to get in somewhere else. With the launch of the summer recreational season, we are right on time for the public to get in without waiting. goHomePort experienced technicians are dedicated to our vision of premium service and handle everything from RV and trailer repairs and maintenance; custom installations for battery system upgrades, solar panels, hitches and towing systems; and even camper van modifications and refurbishing. We service electrical, propane and water systems, offering food truck repair as well. We’re grateful for the opportunity to be here and look forward to serving the community.”
