Our 2008 caravan (but new to us this summer) has had three services...1st (2009) year it was £165, 2nd year £236 and this year £248. Each time was by Salop Leisure. 1st time was a full service but no parts required, 2nd and 3rd time new alko one-shot hub nuts were required.

The service sheets says pretty much everything was checked, full damp test (shows a diagram with 'x' on to show where the tests were done - and there were lots of them!), tested plumbing & checked for leaks, window/rooflight and door seals, chassis service, brakes etc. The list goes on.

As with any servicing, the basic cost can soon run away if parts are required, so it may not always be the good deal it seems at the outset.

We have a qualified engineer who does servicing at the storage site so no taking the van to a workshop. Last year we were charged £120.00
