I have used Simon Dean Motor services in Fenton Industrial Estate. They have a special bay for motorhomes and also know a mobile guy who goes to them for any habitation work or they will give you his number for him to go to your house if you have room.

I have used them for MOT, Servicing and Cambelt repairs. Very friendly and knowledgable.

AMR Autos

Have used this rural, family run garage for two years now. They can handle larger vehicles. They do horse boxes so most motorhomes should be no problem.

The prices are very reasonable and can be relied upon to do a good job. They are experts in LPG vehicles and the have a LPG pump, which is very useful for me.

They can handle HGVs. They do Fiat servicing and DAF trucks of all sizes, so have large facilities (and free coffee while you wait).

Saying which, I'm going to try elsewhere for servicing this year. They are very pleasant, but I'm not confident about their Fiat Ducato experience. I have had a recurring "check engine" light on my 2007 3 litre engine and they seem to just follow the Fiat diagnostic list at the owner's expense. Having been charged ~£570 for a replacement EGR valve the week before a booked trip abroad, followed by "maybe it's a £200 odd sensor" when it came on again, I just had them reset the lamp and my subsequent research having suggested that all I need to do is to treat it like a white van from time to time, instead of plodding along gently I haven't seen a recurrence. They also weren't aware that the Alko rear suspension has grease nipples (neither was I until I met a knowlegeable owner from Yorkshire in Coimbra, Portugal!).
 
Peter Ramsey MOT Manchester Area.

This is the only place I have taken my Motor Home to and I think they are good honest garage. My old Talbot Express passed the first year but failed the second year. Peter carried out the repairs which needs to be done fast to get it within the ten days for retesting. The parts for the old Talbot's are as rare as rocking horse dung but he managed to get everything just fine. He as also done work on my vauxhall Zafira and my little Daihtsu Charade tow car. Needless to say I will be taking the old bus in again later this month for its annual MOT as I have no complaints whatsoever with the work. All MOTs are £40.00 .... Tom .... :goodluck:

Welbeck Service Staion, Nottinghamshire.

Just had my Class 7 MOT done here and can vouch for the people there. Years back they did an LPG conversion on an old Range Rover for me and did a great job. They sell LPG too (worth noting if you have a conversion) and generally they're all round good eggs.

Took my Fiat to Citigate VW Wooburn Green, Bucks

Fed up with HTC Daf in Theale, thought I'd try Citigate in Wooburn Green. They are really VW people, but had no problem servicing a Fiat.

They seem to be trying a bit harder to get business. I have had a recurring problem over the last few years with the handbrake on my Fiat/Alko Rapido. HTC adjusted it each year to get it through the test, but it never worked very well. Citigate took it all apart and found one and a half missing shoes. OK, it was £700 to replace the shoes, disks and pads, but now there seems to be a full solution and they bought me a sandwich for lunch because of the delay.

Nice people, I would recommend them.
