Caravan servicing
A proper going over before a trip or after a long one. The sort of service you want done before you are three hundred kilometres from anywhere.

Nanango, South Burnett QLD
Caravan, horse float, work trailer and 5th wheeler servicing and repairs, out of a shed on Knowles Street. Roadworthy inspections done on site. Ring Dave and tell him what it is doing.
What rolls through the shed
Nanango sits on the way through for a lot of people. Some of the work here is for locals who have had the same van for years, some of it is for travellers who found something wrong halfway through a trip. Either way it goes up on the hoist and gets looked at properly.
Talk it through on 0418 745 830Servicing, repairs and roadworthy inspections, from a quick fault you have noticed on the road to a full going over before you head off.
Floats take a beating on gravel and they carry something irreplaceable. Brakes, bearings, couplings, floors and lights all get looked at.
Plant and box trailers that earn their keep. Suspension, chassis, wiring and brake work so a trailer is not the thing that stops the job.
Big rigs need room, a hoist and somebody who has been under plenty of them. There is space in the shed for the long ones.
Services
Caravan work is the bread and butter, but the same shed does 4WDs, trucks and trailers, sells and repairs winches, and holds the approvals to sign off modifications.
A proper going over before a trip or after a long one. The sort of service you want done before you are three hundred kilometres from anywhere.
Done here at the workshop. This is an Approved Inspection Station, so the inspection and any work it turns up happen in the same shed.
Faults tracked down and fixed. Reviews here mention everything from a dead indicator traced to the plug, through to a water leak hunted down and sorted.
Suspension work for vans, trailers and 4WDs, and an authorised distributor for West Coast Suspension.
Hanger and mount work underneath, welded and fitted on the hoist. The unglamorous work that decides whether a van is safe loaded up.
Getting a van sitting and towing the way it should. One customer came in for exactly this and the airbags went in at the same time.
Fitted and repaired. Worth having working properly before a winter run down south.
Sales and repairs, plus plasma strand rope. Comeup Winches Australia runs out of this same workshop.
4WD servicing, repairs and modifications, and Exedy clutches, carried out here under the Xtreme 4x4 Sport name.

What people say
A fair few of these are from people who were passing through and got sorted the same day.
Dave did our diesel heater today. He did a good job and we were very happy with his work. He's a good bloke and I would go back for anything that needs doing.
Dave will sort you out with your caravan challenges. He helped sort my weight distribution, airbags installed tick. Love them.
Caravan Left indicator not working, called in without notice and David immediately sourced the problem which was no power from plug to vehicle. Fixed and on our way in an hour. Excellent service at reasonable price. Thank you Dave.
As visitors to the region, we had a water issue with our Eagle Tourer and Dave kindly dropped his work (twice) to come out and find and fix the problem. Most appreciated mate… thank you! Geoff & Katrina

The workshop
The business is run by Dave Metcalfe, and the shed on Knowles Street has been at this a long time. If you have driven past it you will know the one, the red sign on the dark shed with the phone number across the bottom of it.
It is not a franchise and there is no call centre. You ring the mobile on the sign and you get the bloke who will be doing the work. Reviews here tend to mention him by name, which tells you most of what you need to know about how it runs.
The same workshop also trades as Xtreme 4x4 Sport for 4WD work and as Comeup Winches Australia for winches. Same shed, same phone, same person.

Easiest thing is to call and say what the van is doing. If it is booked out he will tell you straight, and if it is something quick he will often just sort it.
