Touring Caravan Servicing

Looking after your touring caravan is very important and when you have work done you want to be sure that it has been serviced by trained and experienced professionals. The solution is to use an Approved Workshop.

As well as having moving parts such as wheels, chassis and brakes, touring caravans also have gas and electrical appliances which need to be checked regularly to ensure their safe operation.

You will find that most caravan manufacturers' warranties only remain valid if you have a regular service.

Reliable Workshops

The Approved Workshop Scheme is a joint enterprise between the NCC (National Caravan Council), The Caravan Club and The Camping and Caravanning Club. It is the benchmark for touring caravan servicing.

To be part of the scheme, workshops must pass an annual inspection by a team of independent assessors and comply with the Scheme's rigorous standards - the right things done, to a high standard by the right people.

What will the Workshop offer?

By choosing an Approved Workshop, you can be sure that the technician working on your touring caravan is a fully qualified servicing professional, trained to nationally recognised standards.

Each Approved Workshop also meets high standards of competency and complies with a Code of Practice. This means that all Workshops will:

• Display a menu of pricing, specifying labour rates
• Provide an estimate for additional servicing or repair work over £150
• Give an estimated time for completion and collection
• Use genuine spare parts where available
• Ensure all work is carried out using skill, care and professional judgement
• Always provide you with a check list of work done
• Not start work without your express authority
• Contact you for authority to continue if additional work is identified
• Notify you in writing of faults which are not rectified with an honest assessment of the urgency of the repairs
