In the event of breakdown
Should one of the beauties lose a fanbelt or something, we have AA Breakdown cover for all the vans. We also keep a box of spare parts in each van, so that the AA man can get started the moment he arrives. In addition, we are well placed in the middle of Devon to reach you if you require further help. Having said all this, Pete is regularly giving the vans all the TLC he can, so the vans can just keep on pootling.
