MacPhails Leisure Vehicle Services Ltd

History

The business was formed in January 2008 by present owners, Joe and Karrena MacPhail. At the start we launched as a 'mobile service' at The Scottish Caravan & Outdoor Exhibition Show at the SECC, Glasgow, in February 2009. After a very successful launch and fantastic customer response, ''we always aim to please all customers, new and old''.

Year one (2009) in business proved successful (hence the move to a stationary workshop in October 2009), we were only 'mobile' for a short while when we achieved goal one and found ourselves premises.
''We were Fully Booked out  in 2009/2010 - in season; waiting time for new work was, 6-8 weeks!''

Our workshop has been extremely busy since we opened the workshop doors in January 2010 and we continue to look after existing customers and welcome all new.

''
We cater for you and your beloved vehicle from your first contact with us.
We will service, supply, install, repair, deal with your warranty issues and repairs, water Ingress and damp repairs and the servicing of Motorhome Base Vehicles''.


We hope you enjoy your visit.

Joe comes from a very technical background and is a fully qualified time served HGV Technician, having trained and worked with Parcel Force UK.

(Joe says, that working on Caravans is to him ''like working on dinky toys!'')

It was Joe's passion for caravanning that inspired him to become involved in the Industry. From a young age Joe has always aimed to run his own business and both he and his wife Karrena teamed up as business partners in 2008 to jointly run MLVS Ltd.

Joe is by far a true professional when it comes to working on Motorhomes & Caravans and therefore guarantees all work he carries out.

We want you to have a happy holiday..... 

The MacPhail family, have been avid caravanner's for many, many years, travelling lots of miles, and know how important it is to have your vehicle up to date with Servicing & Repairs.They have in the past witnessed families who have had to return home during their stay due to lack of maintenance or sometimes just ignorance regarding the operations of a vehicle.
(Once a family had to return home because the roof light on their motorhome had blown off, because it had not been closed properly - they had no one to turn to for help as the nearest Dealer was hundreds of miles away and even then, wouldn't help them  because they weren't the supplying Dealer. Now if MacPhails were contacted we would have gone the extra mile to help in this situation and would have repaired the vehicle temporarily, allowing the family to have stayed on and enjoyed their hard earned holiday, and then we would have arranged contact on the families return).

 Get your vehicle Health Checked - Today!

Families have returned home because they have been pulled over in roadside checks and found out that their tyres are damaged or worn.....(A service would have told them this..)

One of our customers had a nasty accident when their caravan jack knifed due to the vehicle not being hooked up properly!..Luckily everyone was okay but the caravan was a right off....

(They were new to caravanning and if they had used MacPhails, to service their caravan before embarking on their journey, would maybe still be holidaying in their caravan today).


Other people put off having their Motorhome or Caravan Annual Service work done until the last minute and then frantically try to find an engineer days before their holiday is due to start, only to find out that most Dealers and Service and Repair Centre's are fully booked out, sometimes months in advance and therefore cannot accomodate them

....Be smart....Think a head, book your service or repair in advance with The Motorhome & Caravan Workshop and always have a happy holiday...  


 ''Oh and one last thing. LPG Gas is a very dangerous substance, hoses can corrode or spiders can nest and you would never know - Gas can leak and you will not smell it - and Carbon Monoxide KILLS!
Lack of servicing and these things can happen, Don't let it happen to you....

Trust in us, we are here for you - always.....
