If a self employed mobile mechanic who has a van to run ain't taking £1000pw he might as well be working for somebody else.


Its possible the repair shops are quoting high at this time of yr because they don't want the extra work. Their work has to be done to an 'as new' standard & it would block up their workshop at a time when they are stacked back with service work. I'm sure a competant home handyman could do a perfectly adequate repair job on the caravan but it would not be to the standard required by the trade.
