Motorhome Repairs & Servicing – Falkirk

Motorhomes and campervans need a garage with the space and equipment to handle their size and weight. At Ian Grieve Service Centre, our high-clearance workshop and 7.5-tonne ramp mean we can service and repair most motorhomes and campervans properly, keeping them safe on the road and ready for your next trip.

Our site is just off Glasgow Road, with plenty of room to manoeuvre larger vehicles, and we welcome motorhome owners from across Cameron, Falkirk, Larbert, Denny, Bonnybridge, and further afield.

Why motorhomes need specialist workshop space

Many local garages simply don’t have the headroom or lifting capacity for a motorhome, which can mean working on the vehicle without being able to inspect it properly from underneath. Our purpose-built workshop was designed with larger vehicles in mind, so we can raise your motorhome safely and get a clear view of the brakes, suspension, exhaust, and chassis.

Motorhome servicing

A motorhome service at Ian Grieve Service Centre focuses on the base vehicle, covering the engine, running gear, and everything that keeps it roadworthy. Servicing is carried out in line with the base vehicle manufacturer’s schedule, which keeps that warranty intact on newer models.

A typical service includes:

• Engine oil and filter change using Castrol oil in the correct grade
• Checks on brakes, steering, suspension, and tyres
• Inspection of lights, wipers, and the vehicle’s electrics
• Fluid level checks, including coolant, brake fluid, and screen wash
• A look underneath for corrosion, leaks, or damage

Because many motorhomes cover relatively few miles, we’ll also advise on items that wear with age rather than mileage, such as timing belts, brake fluid, and tyres.

Common motorhome problems we repair

Long spells parked up over winter can be hard on a vehicle, and brakes are often the first thing to suffer, as calipers and slide pins can seize when they aren’t used regularly. We also see plenty of flat or failing starter batteries, tyres with cracking or flat spots, and suspension components worn down by the extra weight a motorhome carries.

If a warning light appears or something doesn’t feel right on the road, our technicians use KTS diagnostic equipment to read fault codes on the base vehicle’s systems and track down the cause. Any parts we fit are original equipment, backed by the manufacturer’s parts warranty, and we’ll always talk you through the repair and its cost before we start.

Getting your motorhome ready for the season

A pre-trip check before your first outing of the year is one of the best ways to avoid problems far from home. We’ll look over the brakes, tyres, battery, lights, and fluid levels, then let you know if anything needs attention before you set off. It’s also a good time to book in if your motorhome has been standing for several months.
