We will be needing a reliable and trustworthy company to service our caravan next spring.. Could anyone recommend a reliable, trustworthy company in Derbyshire, preferably somewhere in the High Peak or around the Buxton, Ashbourne area,
What about Glossop caravans, I have not used them as I do not live near Glossop but theymust be on your doorstep or do you have a bad experience from this dealer.
Yes they are on our doorstep! I use the accessory shop but i wouldn't use them to service our 'van nor indeed to buy one from them! There are so many bad stories about them. A friend took their caravan in to part exchange for another caravan recently. They told him that the body repair that was done some years ago was very badly done and there was mega damp inside (therefore affecting in the trade-in price.. Guess what, it was Glossop Caravans who had done the repair themselves.
Surely people have their 'vans serviced in Derbyshire and must have good or bad experiences?
Robinsons Caravans at Chesterfield have seemed ok when we've been there, are there good/bad experiences anybody has had with them. But they are an hour away from us.
You have answered my question re experience at Glossop caravans, as you are very close to both Stockport and Manchester I would think there would be an approved workskop in either or both of these places, alternatively consider a mobile service provider, There is on based in Bury (also with approved workshop) which is only just up the motorway from Glossop

I can highly recommend a mobile engineer, Rob from AMCS Ltd (www.amcsltd.co.uk) from Heanor, Derbyshire, he is a member of MCEA (Mobile Caravan Engineers Associates Ltd). He has carried out a Pre-purchase Inspection check,serviced my caravan and has carried out repairs. His prices are very competitive and his work is 1st class. I believe he carry's out work in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire & Staffordshire. He even travelled to our permanent site pitch in Lincolnshire and the costs were still very reasonable.
I wouldn't use anybody other than AMCS Ltd and I would recommend him to all my friends and family.
I used Rob from AMCS and found him to be reasonably priced and I was pleased with his work during our service at our storage site. He also carried out some repairs that were found during the service which were carried out satisfactorily.
We would recommend as previously mentioned Dave Shaw Chatsworth motorhome and caravan service.
Service and warranty work to a high standard he really knows his trade.
Plan ahead though as he is very busy and booked up weeks in advance.
I use Dave Shaw as above and find him to be very thorough. It is good to be able to discuss issues during a mobile service as he explains and answers silly questions! Based on prvious experience I do not trust dealer services. What also impressed me was the fact that he invites you to ring him if you are on site and you get a problem he can advise you on.
I think he is based in north Derbyshire . He charged £174 for single axle ealy this year.
