A list of motorhome-friendly garages
I
t can be difficult to find a garage
capable of offering mechanical
servicing and MoTs for larger
motorhomes (particularly
coachbuilts). An added complication
for new base vehicles is that you
often need to have servicing done at
authorised centres to comply with
warranty requirements.
We asked you to recommend
garages that can service larger
motorhomes. Thanks to all those
MMM readers who took the trouble of
writing to us, and please do keep the
letters coming! If the garage you useto service your motorhome doesn’t
appear in the list and you consider
the service to be worthy of
recommendation, then let us know.
Remember, it must be able to
accommodate bigger motorhomes.
Send full details of recommended
garages (including length, height and
weight of vehicle it can
accommodate), plus what services
they offer (MoTs, servicing). Please
also say if it is a franchise for aparticular motorhome base vehicle.
