 Repairs 

Seventy Seven Motors of Newark are a family run business that has been established for 30 years and  have been at their current location since 1999.  SMC was set up as the sales arm of the business and now they offer sales, service and repairs all in one site on cars, vans and motorhomes.

 

 Servicing 

Essanjay Motorhomes of Poole in Dorset.  The proprietors, Steven and Jane, are motorhome owners and go caravanning regularly. They know your requirements and the level of service you need and expect. Essanjay Limited is not just another garage, it's a garage run by fellow caravanners for fellow caravanners.

 

Darren Corder and Martin Peters set up Motorhome Medics in 1999.  Previously working in the service department of a major RV dealership, they realised that they could offer even more to motorhome owners.  Understanding that the majority of motorhome owners are not super rich, but expect their once-in-a-lifetime investment to be treated with care and respect when in for service or repair, they pledge to offer honest work for fair prices in every aspect of their business.

CompareYourDealer.com was launched September 2009 with the primary objective of delivering purchasing choices and decisions based on real-time, impartial consumer reviews. The website database currently holds in excess of seventeen thousand automotive businesses. These encompass franchised main dealers, nationwide servicing centres, fully independent garages and motorhome suppliers and repairers.

CompareYourDealer allows users to search for automotive businesses, to read the ratings awarded to those businesses by other reviewers, and to add their own reviews to the system. All services to users are free of charge.

Light on reviews at present but hey, it's new!  So it's up to us to make this a viable tool.

 

 Motoring Issues  /  Organizations  /  Clubs 

 

The Association of British Drivers is Britain's foremost campaigning group for drivers.  They are a voluntary non-profit making organization funded by subscriptions and donations from members and the public. They receive no funds from the government or from any companies, and so represent the truly independent voice of the driver.

One of the leading lights of the organization lists amongst his hobbies..."motorcaravanning".

 

  No.10  Petition  

Sign up to the Motorcaravan petition against the scourge of Height Barriers on the Governments No.10 website.  Chris Ward of the ABD says:  "In many cases the affected vehicles are likely to be tourists or people trying to enjoy their leisure time, and it is an absurdity that whilst one council department may be spending public money trying to encourage tourists to visit their area, another council department is spending public money preventing them from parking!"
