IanConni Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Hello,Just wondering if any ED Campervan owners would recommend a local garage/mechanic who is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and willing to MOT/Service/repair a 30+ year old VW Campervan? Our regular mechanic in Catford who loved working with campervans has sadly had to retire due to ill health, so it would great to find somewhere local who are happy to take one on.Many Thanks.
