The National Caravan Council – Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS)
At the Approved Workshop Scheme (AWS), we are the UK’s largest network of independently assessed workshops dedicated to servicing touring caravans, motorhomes, and light trailers. Established in 1978 as a joint initiative between the National Caravan Council (NCC), The Caravan and Motorhome Club, and The Camping and Caravanning Club, AWS is the only scheme endorsed by all major UK manufacturers. This makes us the most trusted choice for motorhome and touring caravan servicing across the country.
With over 570 fixed and mobile Approved Workshops nationwide, each operated by highly qualified professionals, you can be confident that your vehicle is in expert hands. Every workshop meets rigorous industry standards, ensuring top-quality servicing and repairs. Choosing an AWS-approved workshop gives you peace of mind, with most workshops guaranteeing all service-related repairs for a minimum of six months while helping to maintain your vehicle’s warranty.
Commitment to Quality and Professionalism
Every AWS workshop adheres to strict competency standards and follows an industry-approved Code of Practice, which includes:
- Clear pricing – Workshops must display a full list of prices and labour rates.
- Upfront estimates – Any additional work over £150 requires customer approval.
