Ensure the comfort, s afety, and durability of any motorhome.
Servicing a motorhome is a common responsibility for owners. They regularly schedule servicing for both mechanical upkeep and habitation maintenance.
Habitation servicing primarily focuses on the interior aspects of a motorhome, encompassing plumbing, electrical systems, climate control, and more. On the flip side, mechanical servicing addresses crucial components vital for the motorhome's performance, such as the engine and transmission.
Conducting a habitation check is pivotal to ensuring the comfort, safety, and durability of any motorhome.
Comprehensive Survey
At Thurton Auto Centre, our comprehensive habitation checks are designed to ensure the safety and comfort of your motorhome. Here's what our thorough examination entails:
🚰 Water & Plumbing
We meticulously inspect all water and plumbing systems for leaks, conducting a detailed examination if any damage is suspected. Our technicians scrutinize water taps, wastewater discharges, toilets, seals, and wet heating systems
⚡Electrics
Our habitation check includes a thorough inspection of all electrical systems and components, both internal and external. We examine lights, sockets, circuit breakers, and electrical appliances like refrigerators to ensure everything is in optimal condition
♨️ Gas Systems
Just as crucial as water and electrics, we meticulously examine your motorhome's gas systems for leaks. Our technicians inspect ventilation, safety features, and all gas-fueled appliances, including water heaters, to guarantee safety and efficiency
🔥 Fire and CO Detectors
Safety is paramount, which is why we meticulously test fire and CO detectors to confirm their functionality. If your motorhome is equipped with fire extinguishers, we'll also examine them, ensuring they're ready for action.
💧 Damp Check
Every comprehensive habitation check includes a thorough damp check to detect any moisture inside your motorhome. We assess ventilation to prevent moisture buildup, addressing any dampness promptly to prevent damage.

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

I can't recommend this garage enough. I broke down on way to Bedfordshire and they sorted my car out straight away. Absolutely brilliant

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...
