Breakdown : good addresses to remember when in France (1 Viewer)

[yodeli]

Following russ the rambler 's thread about his damaged awning, I wanted to let know about these 2 adresses you should bookmark in case of a breakdown when in France.

August in France is a bit of a nightmare when it comes to breakdown with the motorhomes/cars. Lots of places are closed to start with, and of course all the open ones are over booked.
I gave quite a few phone calls to different people while we were waiting for Narbonne Accessoires's answer to our mail. Most of them were busy up to mid september, or just didn't want to come to the campsite where Russ and family (and motorhome) were staying.
BTW.... Narbonne Accessoires never comes on spot. So just forget about them if in real trouble.

BUT.... at least I found someone in Vendée (departement 85) whom I had ask if any reliable contact in Beziers... just in case he knew someone there.
No, no contact but the guy is nice , has good reviews and works on spot. Where ever you are in VENDEE he can help. I understand he does 2 more departements (44 and 49) . Lots of you funsters, travel in this area and I thought I should let you know.

Also , the guy who came to help Russ has another kind of business. His job is to tow broken down vehicles. But... Very kind and helpful guy and he accepted to come on spot to help. He too, has very good reviews , so indeed when in Beziers or not far from there, keep his number in your pocket , you never know!

Frankie, you are such an asset to the motorhome community. Dont think I'll need to use your contacts but thank you anyway. Very kind of you.
