I was in the Chelsea service center dropping my truck this morning and was told there are plans to build one west of Boston in the near future.
That's great news. Anything more specific than west of Boston? :)

I am in Tiverton, RI. We are seriously considering leasing an R1T (test drive is this coming weekend). Chelsea MA is not exactly commutable for routine repairs. I understand that in-home service may be available. Is that an option in the New England region?

That’s my understanding, I don’t know the reach in RI, but I’m getting my R1T Thursday and they have a mobile service tech who covers/is located in Maine. I suspect there’s a few across New England at least.

I’m in the Mystic CT area and have had 2 Mobile Svc visits. The last time after a morning tire rotation tech told me that he had an afternoon appointment in Barrington RI. He mentioned that he lives in CT but based out of the Chelsea SC and covers Eastern MA/CT & RI. That also depends on what service you request, some services can’t/won’t be performed by Mobile so you would have to make the trek to Chelsea (or Shelton CT if they can get you in sooner).

There was discussion about Canton, MA location - permits were pulled, not sure exactly where it was planned for there or what the current status is.

I've had mobile service come out twice up in Maine and it's been a great experience. I was worried about how unimportant and silly some of the service items were (badges falling off, weather seal strip coming off) but the tech was happy to schedule it since he was going to be up here anyway.

I dread the drive down to Chelsea so fingers crossed there is something in a better location soon. I still look back at that first drive home from picking up in Chelsea and shudder. Trial by fire an all that.

Glad to hear this. I’m in Maine and had a weird but minor issue with door catching slightly right after I got the truck in September, and they wanted to do it at SC. I happened to be going to Boston for a work trip so they scheduled it right during that and gave me uber credits.

But when I’ve asked about mobile they’ve sort of been like, we’ll see. Hopefully I don’t need anything until my tire rotation at 7500 miles though!

I would love a Portland SC…

Don't do what I did and schedule your 7500 mile service close to 7500 miles... By the time my appointment arrived I was at 9000 miles! Also on AT's 5000 miles is preferred so I will be scheduling that rotation almost immediately given the scheduling lag.

Initially I was under the impression that mobile service wasn't available in Maine but it was Chelsea that actually suggested it and the appointment was only a few days after my scheduled Chelsea one. As far as I know the tech (and it's been the same one for me each time) has a routine that involves Maine so you should be able to get something scheduled just by asking and be added to his regular rounds.

Montreal is also an option now for those in the (north) northeast.

Indeed, it’s unfortunately a bit further for me since I’m all the way out on the coast. 4 hours to Chelsea, 5.5 to Montreal. But we do go 1-2x to Quebec each year, so might plan for that next time if it’s a scheduled service.

I reached out to Rivian Service about getting an appointment there back in September and haven't heard back. When I last tried to schedule service via the mobile app it was defaulting to the Chelsea, MA service center (3.5hrs away) vs Montreal (about 1.5hrs away).

I can see them defaulting to the country you are in and the country that covers your warranty.

Agreed. It seemed people were assuming they could use the Montreal service center even though they are in the US. That's why I was posting, as I'm not sure that is true. My service request is still open. I had one voice mail a couple weeks after opening it saying they were investigating and would get back to me, but I haven't heard anything since. I haven't tried following up with them, yet.
