Lovely friendly staff, very knowledgeable and full of expertise. But are generally so busy, (good recommendation), that you need to book well in advance, but so worth it and value for the money.

Used Avonbridge for our first year Buccaneer service as the suppling dealer did not inspire confidence. I was very pleased with the service and the customer service. These guy's want your business and are willing to work for it. Its booked in again for next years service. Recommended.

Avonbridge came highly recommended to us by a friend whose father has used them for many years. A brilliant team, led by Karl who is always friendly, helpful and willing to go the extra mile. A very thorough job is done and they have, and are currently, dealing with some difficult warranty work on our van, liaising with Bailey throughout and getting things sorted. Also a big thank you to Andrew for his help with this.
Karl came and did the annual service this week, on a mobile basis, and was as efficient, thorough and friendly as always. I highly recommend this great local company to take

This is the second time that I have used the excellent services of Avonbridge Caravan Repairs. Karl and his team have provided, on both occasions superb, honest, communication and management of the issues in a timely fashion. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

My electrics failed on caravan whilst on weekend break. After contacting Avonbridge, Carl the owner could not have been more helpful. He contacted me on the phone and visited me on site and within minutes found the problem and cured it. His fantastic attitude and his desire not to leave me stranded, he went above and beyond what I could expect to rectify the fault. I would thoroughly recommend this company. Much better than a main dealer.

Used Avonbridge mobile to complete my 1st service on my Swift Eccles caravan. An excellent service carried out by Karl who was not only very helpful but very pleasant in his attitude and demure. Would highly recommend.
