Look for shops that work on classic cars, and then ask if they can work on a 1973 Oldsmobile Toronado.

That covers the engine, transmission, final drive, drive shafts, CV joints and front suspension, hubs/knuckels/bearings/rotors and chassis electrical. They may need help assimilating the isolator for the house and chassis battery systems, but other than that, it is basically a car.

They may be afraid to work on the rear air suspension, but you can do that stuff yourself with help from the folks here.

House systems can be done by RV places if you don't want to work on them yourself. Plumbing and 120V electrical stuff can also be done by residential professionals that do that kind of work.

12VDC stuff can be outsourced to automotive electrical shops. That includes chassis electrical and the 12VDC house systems.

If you are looking for some place to R&R the engine, that takes special effort.
