Overview
Caravan repair is bodywork meets plumbing meets electrics, all in one cramped space
Caravan repair is unusual because the same job sheet can have body damage, water ingress, a gas hob fault, and a leisure-battery problem on it. The vehicle is a habitation unit on wheels, and the repair contractor needs to be three trades at once or have partners who are. Damp is the recurring lifetime concern: a small leak in a rooflight seal turns into a $3,000 rebuild of a wall panel two seasons later. A flat 'caravan service' quote misses the habitation check that catches the damp early; a repair quote that lumps everything into one number misses the line items the insurance company expects to see.
QuoteGenio gives caravan repair contractors a quoting shape that handles the multi-trade reality. Damp survey as the first line, body or panel repair work by area, gas appliance inspection separately (with the qualified engineer's number on the quote where the regulations call for it), electrical and leisure battery work, plumbing for fresh and waste systems, and any chassis or running gear repair. Send via WhatsApp from the workshop, take a deposit on bigger jobs, raise progress invoices through the repair sequence, and the final invoice attaches the damp meter readings or the habitation report against the same record for the owner's service history.

The problem
The quoting problems most caravan Repair run into
Quoting is one of the most time-consuming parts of running a caravan Repair business. The wrong tool makes it worse.
Quotes take too long to write
You end up writing quotes after hours instead of being on the tools or at home. Admin is eating into your day as a caravan Repair.
Quotes look inconsistent
Without a template, every quote reads differently. Clients comparing multiple caravan Repair pick whoever looks the most professional, not always the best price.
Slow responses lose jobs
Clients rarely wait. If your quote takes a day, they've already accepted one from a Caravan Repair who responded within the hour.

Common quoting mistakes
These are the quoting mistakes that cost caravan Repair the most time and money.
Mistake: Quoting only the obvious repair
Better: Note possible related items (e.g. 'belts and rollers should be inspected with the timing kit'). Saves coming back in a month.
Mistake: No diagnostic fee on warranty disputes
Better: Charge for the diagnostic upfront and credit it if the job proceeds. Stops tyre-kickers eating your time.
Mistake: Lumping parts and labour together
Better: Customers want to know parts vs labour separately. It also makes warranty claims cleaner.
Mistake: Not specifying OEM vs aftermarket
Better: List the brand or grade of part. 'Aftermarket alternator' invites complaints; 'Bosch alternator' doesn't.
Mistake: Missing road-test or recheck time
Better: After bigger repairs, road-tests and rechecks take real minutes. Quote them in.
Mistake: No mention of warranty terms
Better: State labour warranty (e.g. 12 months) and parts warranty (manufacturer terms). Stops the 'but it's still under warranty' arguments.
Mistake: Forgetting environmental disposal fees
Better: Oils, batteries, tyres, filters — disposal costs money. Itemise it.
Step by step
How to quote caravan Repair jobs
Quoting as a caravan Repair starts with understanding the job scope. Visit the site where possible, take measurements, and note any access issues or complications that could affect time or materials. A quote based on real site conditions is always more accurate than one written from a phone call.
Structure your quote with clear line items. Separate labour from materials and include quantities and rates for each. Clients who can see exactly what they are paying for are more likely to accept, and less likely to negotiate or dispute the final amount.
Set a validity period on every quote. Material prices change, and a quote you sent three months ago may no longer be profitable. A 14 to 30 day validity is standard for most caravan Repair jobs.
Send the quote as soon as possible after the site visit. The caravan Repair who responds first with a professional document usually wins the job. Use WhatsApp or email to get it in front of the client while the conversation is still fresh.
