Did Some Magic This Time

5.0
January 15, 2025

Close to home so a walk for most of our caravan bits. Bought virtually everything there in the last two years we have been caravanning, inc. awning and tow bar fitting. Price wise they are always competitive.
Our visit today was a step beyond the usual service we have enjoyed from them.
Tried all over the internet for a removable weather cover for our tow bar with hours of no luck, so we had a walk to shop and as it's discontinued it was looking grim. They had a look on internet and offered a makeshift solution before having the idea of searching their old parts bin just in case. Well surprised and chuffed to find they had one (think they was as well). Thanks David and Steve for the excellent customer service.

Fantastic service from start to finish! Great guidance on the correct items to order and how the process works. Really appreciative of a great service and advice, parts arrived quickly and the fitter arrived at our house to do the work on the driveway as planned. Very happy with the result, thank you so much. Will definitely recommend you!
