Chassis Service

On a Chassis Service we check your brakes, hitch, and running gear of your caravan to ensure it is road worthy and safe.

All the work is carried out in concordance with the manufacturers and the NCC / AWS for more information about this click here.

We don't rush; we like to take our time to get it right. A service can take a little while to complete. 

This service is better performed by our fixed workshop, as we can gain access under your caravan easier.
