Good news all round for consumers as the Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS) - a joint enterprise of the National Caravan Council, The Caravan Club and The Camping and Caravanning Club - welcomes its 400th member to the fold.

Just Go Motorhome Service Centre in Toddington, near Luton, has achieved a nationally accepted standard of practice, giving consumers added confidence that their vehicle will receive the best possible care and attention by trained and experienced professionals.

In order to be accepted on to the Approved Workshop Scheme, all workshops must pass an annual inspection by a team of independent assessors and must comply with the Scheme’s rigorous standards.

AWS Manager Sarah Wigmore continues to lead the expansion and ongoing improvement of the Scheme. Sarah said: “We all know that having your caravan or motorhome regularly serviced is crucial to keeping it roadworthy but unless this work is carried out by trained and experienced professionals to a given standard you could be short changed. We want to weed out disreputable workshops from the marketplace. That’s why I’m delighted to welcome the 400th company to our Approved Workshop Scheme, as more consumers will enjoy peace of mind.”

The Approved Workshop Scheme has been in existence since 1978 before becoming a joint enterprise and managed by the NCC since 2008. It is the benchmark for tourer and motorhome habitation servicing in the UK, allowing scheme members to service vehicles during the warranty period without invalidating it.
