Hi I had Chris to service my van he got every thing workingand was all checked thoroughly about 4hrs work he charged me £120 at my place. I was pleased I had had his attention when on a non hook up site my fridge which had not worked on gas  for ages worked perfectly like lit first time etc.I can certainly recommend him

He's a good bloke - my fridge has never lit either - ill get him to do mine too!!!

Im due a service soon so Ill be ringing him. Glad you liked my recommendation. The thing is with a guy like him he needs a good reputation AND you see how long he took - cant help be suspicious when you leave the van at the dealers and you dont know whats happening. My service cost £170 last year so this saves already.

Happy New Year. everyone.

Nice to get a recommendation and I will consider using him in future. We had a full service and full floor repair done last year for about £200 cheaper than other places . This was Chesterfield Caravans . It has just been taken  over by previous co- owner. |Very obliging and reassuring about what needed doing . Easy to get to off A61 . Cheers Siobhan

Maryloo - if you ever need proof how well built these are - well it's sat on my drive!! Enjoy your Moorea, we are quite an exclusive club! Pop up a picture when you can!

She has been on the drive for a couple of weeks and not a sign of a smell or anything. Even though it's been checked I'm still paranoid - but nothing. The assessor commented on the build of these and agreed that some UK vans won't be so lucky. I just hope all those that were with me are ok too.

I want to thank Howard for putting me in touch with a sound mobile repairer/servicer (I won't be taking it to Bawtrys anymore) who sorted my van, gave it a full inspection and greased everything for me for £40! AND at my house.

I will give him a plug and if you are in the Yorkshire Area - Chris is your man! - 07821140299 (he's a nice guy too and just left a big firm to go it alone) - so give him a bell!

A lot of people may be getting cheap vans for the interim as insurers are dropping £5k cheques to people I hear. A lot of folk in Hull have statics on their drives - I wonder if insurers have a deal and are supplying them?


Hope you catch this follow up Sean. Am looking for a mobile service man and you recommended this guy. Does that still stand and has anyone else used him. Am in Retford and need someone to service my van.

Cheers Sean, the number is on the obove post unless he has changed. Was relying on another guy who has just set up but he is not sure on the brakes so i want someone who can do everything and is recommended.

Thats the thing for me - add the petrol, the fact the van will be in a lock up for a few days and it all weighs up. PLUS you see what he is doing - I always wonder just what really goes on on a service when you have driven off...?!
