2

Drop-off booking - we'll set a drop-off date that works around your travel plans and our workshop schedule.

Inspect & quote - we diagnose the actual problem (not just what looks broken), and write a fixed quote before any work starts.

4

Repair & test - work done in-house. Most parts from our St Marys store, gas work by licensed fitters, electrical bench-tested.

5

Pickup - we walk you through what we did and what to watch for. Workshop record kept on file for future services.

Caravan Repairs Across Adelaide

Most of our repair customers come from across metropolitan Adelaide - Marion, Mitcham, Glenelg, Brighton, Aldinga, Morphett Vale, Noarlunga and surrounding suburbs. We also see plenty of work in from the Adelaide Hills (Stirling, Mount Barker), the Fleurieu Peninsula and regional South Australia. Our St Marys workshop is centrally located in southern Adelaide - easy access from the city, the southern coast and the hills.

For a full suburb breakdown of areas we service, see our service areas page. If you're in a suburb that's not listed, get in touch anyway - we can almost always help.

Caravan Repair Enquiry

Caravan Repairs Adelaide - FAQs

All our caravan repairs are done at our St Marys workshop at 1 Pinn Street, SA 5042. We have a state-of-the-art hoist system, full gas-fitting capability, electrical bench and panel-repair facilities. Most Adelaide caravan owners tow their van to us; for vans that cannot be moved, give us a call and we will discuss your options.

We primarily work from our St Marys workshop because the hoist, tooling and gas-fitting bench make the work faster, cheaper and safer than mobile work. We can recommend transport if your caravan cannot be towed. For genuinely stuck-on-the-road emergencies, call us on (08) 8277 4388 and we will work through your options.

It depends entirely on the job. Small items (replacement door seals, leaking taps, electric brake adjustment) typically sit in the $80 to $300 range. Mid-range jobs (bearing repacks, full brake services, fridge repairs) run $400 to $1,200. Larger work (roof repairs, full re-seals, insurance jobs) is quoted individually after inspection. We provide written quotes before any work starts - no surprises.

Yes. We work with all major caravan insurers including RAA, CIL, YOUi, AAMI, Ken Tame, CGU, NRMA and Allianz. We handle the assessment, photos, quote and repair end-to-end so you do not need to chase the insurer yourself. See our insurance repairs page for the full process.

All of them. Our workshop services Jayco, Coromal, Nova, Snowy River, Golden Eagle, Roadstar, Traveller, Great Aussie, X-SERIES, European brands, fifth wheelers, motorhomes, horse floats and vintage caravans. We do not turn work away because the badge is unfamiliar.

A standard 16-point service is usually done same-day if booked in advance. A full 56-point service typically takes one to two days depending on what we find. Major work (insurance repairs, structural jobs) is quoted with a timeline before we start.

For routine services we are usually 1 to 2 weeks out, though we keep some slots open for urgent work. For larger jobs we will agree a drop-off and pickup date when we quote. Call us on (08) 8277 4388 or use the enquiry form on this page.

Yes. We carry hundreds of caravan parts and accessories in stock at our St Marys store - so most repairs use parts from the same building, no waiting on freight. For specialist parts we have established supplier relationships that get us what we need within a few business days.
