Using an Approved Workshop gives you peace of mind that the technician working on your motorhome/caravan is qualified to the required standards. The scheme is so sure of its standards, that they guarantee all repairs for a minimum of six months and take all reasonable steps to protect the validity of any unexpired warranties.
