Your local Margate caravan mechanic
Caravan servicing built for the Channel.
Margate sits on the Channel Highway south of Kingston, with easy access to Bruny Island, the Huon Valley and the Tasman Peninsula. It's prime caravanning country, and we service vans here every week.
We come to driveways throughout Margate and surrounding Channel-side villages. Annual servicing, brakes, bearings, leak detection and 12V upgrades — all on-site.
Coastal Channel weather means seals and hardware need regular attention. Annual servicing combined with leak testing keeps Margate vans in great condition.
