Caravan Servicing Costs

Hello, it was with interest that I read these past comments about caravan services or habitation services on motorhomes.

I have used the same mobile guy for 10 years and have had a fantastic service from him.  He comes on the day, and time, we agreed.  I can watch what he is doing, if I want, which I don't bother doing as I trust the guy.  He does not do any major work without my authority, gives a better service than any of the local dealers. Who is this guy you sk?

Ali's Mobile Caravan Services (AMCS), based in Maud, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

Find him on the internet.  What I like is that he comes to wherever my vehicle is - ie at storage site, at my home and one time on an actual site! He is a really nice guy, I would not hesitate to recommend him.  What I like most of all, he has time to explain any queries that I have.

FYI - I paid £90 (plus VAT) per hour at a garage for my car to be repaired in 2016 !

I too have used the same mobile service engineer for 7 yrs.  He charges £170 for a full service on a single axle caravan, including damp test, and provides a full itemised report.  He even replaces minor parts free of charge; for example, brake away cable and flexible gas pipe.  Totally reliable and even brings his own coffee!  Not surprisingly he is fully booked up with his regulars customers.

Weve just had our caravan serviced by a local NCC approved mobile engineer at a cost saving of £60 (compared to last year dealer service) but more importantly no having to empty it all out and tow it to them. Done at home and comprehensive report.

Changed the Aldi fluid as well for less cost than dealer.

Just had my single axle van services at home by a mobile engineer; at a cost of £182. This is for the full service including checking the brakes, electrics, gas appliances lights and damp. 

I consider this to be quite high, but he does a through job. 

Our single axle has just been serviced at our storage compound and the Bailey authorised mobile man charged £198 which includes any minor repairs and fully itemised work sheet ,far more thorough than the dealer we have used in the past (and cheaper) also no need to empty C/van

We had our Elddis serviced and the Alde fluid changed by a mobile engineer on the first if July and both cost of £305 for both and no need to strip the van out and did it all at our home in 4 hours.

We thought excellent service and workmanship.

Not long we had our van serviced at a cost if £150 by a mobile approved guy all OK but new tyres due next year this gives us both peace of mind as some years ago as a special constable I took part in spot  checks on the local motorway service area and I was shocked by the state of some of the caravans ie cracked tyres non working caravan brakes etc. of course these had to be put right before they could continue so that £150 seems like a good investment to me 

Is this a competition to see who can get the cheapest service.  This thread is nearly 3 years old. 

And prices to match
