The Approved Workshop Scheme is a joint initiative by the National Caravan Council (NCC), The Caravan and Motorhome Club, and The Camping and Caravanning Club, and is widely regarded as the benchmark for service excellence in the UK caravan and motorhome industry.

What is the Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS)?
Launched on January 1st, 1978, the AWS is the only servicing scheme supported by all major UK manufacturers, making it the largest and most trusted network of independently assessed workshops in the country.
With over four decades of expertise, the AWS accreditation is considered the gold standard for servicing and repairs in the motorhome and touring caravan sectors.

I can easily see why they get 5 stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I had my Ford Focus ecoboost cambelt and water pump changed today. I chose this garage because of the reviews and I can easily see why they get 5 stars. Fantastic service from start to finish. The ecoboost has a wet internal belt so it does need extra care, but when Ford wanted £2000 to carry the work out I looked else where. And that’s why I chose Thurton Auto Centre, and I would recommend you do the same. I cannot fault anything. All the parts used were genuine Ford and carried out to a high standard. The mechanic even showed me my old belt saying it was the right thing to do as it was on its way out! Thanks again.

You don’t get that level of professionalism just anywhere
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Motorhome Buying Experience at Thurton Auto CentreMy wife and I bought a Detheffs Motor Home …. Right from the moment we arrived to just view the vehicle we were greeted by Kevin who was not overbearing like most high pressure salesman.. quite the opposite.!!! He explained all the features and left us to take our time to look inside and out and then after a while return to see if we had any questions.?? Which we had a few as we have never owned a Motor Home before…. We shook hands and left with absolutely no pressure to push us into a sale.… after we returned the next day we once again had to good guided tour of the home and we then decided to go ahead and purchase the Vehicle …. They then said the vehicle will go into the valeting shop for a thorough clean inside and out not that it needed it ?? But my God what an amazing job they’ve done.Terry then came over to see us and between Kevin & Terry the whole process of buying with total confidence couldn’t have gone smoother.!!! Absolutely nothing was to much trouble .. you don’t get that level of professionalism just anywhere … For all our servicing and retro fits we will not be going anywhere else .. Thurton Auto Centre scores 10/10 For us ….Terry & Nicola Local residents

Five stars isnt enough i would give 10 if i could
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Drove down for the weekend from london and had something go wrong with my car. They managed to fit me in at really short notice and they didnt try to rip me off. I was able to drive back to london safely and without having to be inconvenienced by being stuck there until i found a way of fixing my car or getting it back. Five stars isnt enough i would give 10 if i could

would recommend Thurton Auto Centre to anyone who are feeling let down by their own garage. They are an independently owned garage who genuinly wants to look after its customers hoping they will return, I certainly will.

Huge Thank You...
