The Towing Centre – an Approved Workshop
What is an Approved Workshop?
To be an approved workshop, the workshop must pass the annual inspection set by the Approved Workshop Scheme. The Approved Workshop Scheme is a joint organisation set up by the NCC, Caravan Club and the Caravan and camping club. To pass the scheme, the workshop must demonstrate compliance with rigorous high standards. The scheme ensures all servicing work is carried out correctly by fully trained and qualified professionals.
Approved Workshops Must:
As well as a high standard of work, Approved Workshops must also meet high customer service standards. This means communicating with the client before, during and after caravan or motor home servicing, showing transparency throughout. Approved Workshops must not begin work without client’s express authority. If additional work is required, the workshop must contact the client to request permission. If this additional work is likely to exceed additional costs of £150, the workshop must provide the client with a pricing estimate. The workshop must also give an estimated service completion time and offer a suitable time for caravan collection. Once work is completed, the workshop must provide the client with a thorough checklist of the work carried out. If faults have not been able to be rectified during the service, the workshop must notify the client of such faults and include an honest and accurate evaluation of their urgency.
