Dom amott (opinions)

Havnt bought a motorhome off them but know one or two that have and not heard anything bad about them, only about ten miles away.
Used the shop a bit , good selection but not the cheapest.
 
Me again
Went there about the time of the Campbells search
Chalk and Cheese compared to Preston mob from a being interested point of view

Didn't buy because they couldn't match my needs, in spite of much effort on their part

If I was in the market and had the money I would buy a static there, some very nice static vans on site. The toilets on the touring area were new last year and are very very nice. If you’re into golf they have a course there as well.

We got our motorhome from them around 7 years ago.
They gave a decent handover and rectified one or two warranty issues well.
We even got a couple of free hab services from them and used their "field" a couple of hundred yards from the site to stay over the night before and after. It even has EHU for a couple of vans.
When I collected the motorhome they picked me up at the airport and drove me to their site.
All in all a good experience and would purchase from them again, albeit would prefer closer to home! They had one of only two nearly new of the model with optional extras we wanted in the UK at the time.

I purchased a new Knaus from them last February and although I was due to collect in April due to Covid it was delayed to June, obviously this was no fault of theirs and all through the process Ben Amott emailed me updates.
The sale was very relaxed we other no pressure and after looking at the same van elsewhere I called and made them an offer a bit below their asking price, after a couple of discussions we agreed a deal again with no pressure.
I have 3 very minor warranty jobs again that can’t get done due to Covid but again I received an email last week saying they hadn’t forgot me, I have to be happy with that so far.
If I had a complaint about them it would minor but still a complaint, at the handover we noticed one of the garage locks didn’t work, they changed it and said they’d order a new one as I now had different keys for each door. I called them after a month and they’d totally forgot so have said they’ll take a look when van is in.
All in all I’d recommend them.
 
I have bought 2 motorhomes from them now and no complaints .The staff have always treated us well and been quite helpful, if you ignore the cost of servicing and habitation which is not cheap ,( where is these days ) in all a good experience and i will reccommend them to anyone.
 
Bought our motorhome from them. Nice viewing area with a good number of vans, nice showroom and shop. No issues with their service at all. A few niggles fixed in their own workshop prior to collection and really good handover. Would recommend and buy again from them. Surprised they don’t advertise their sales more in the club mags as they have a really good set up.

My van was bought from D A by it's first owner. He highly recommended them.
We for sure will pay them a visit in the not too distant future.

Gave me a price to buy last van off me. When I said ok after about a week said changed mind didn't want to buy it
 
Hi.
About 20 yrs ago,changed vans at their showroom and went off to the
North Somercoates site ( free week part of deal ) Realized a couple of days later we had left £100 emergency cash hidden away in the old van. Rang a phone number well after the showroom had shut and was put through to Mrs Amott. She said she would be in the van first thing in the morning,ring again after 10.00hrs. We rang,the money was in the office,to be picked up when we came back. Although it was a long time ago,several mates have bought c/vans-Mo/ho's from them with no bad feelings.

Old TV advert for them 'Don Amott - King of Caravans' - been in business since I was little and I was born in 1950.

How the hell else could they still be in business if they were lousy?
 
Got a viewing Sunday for new motorhome and comments I’ve read are almost 100% good, hopefully all’s well and can get a good deal that works for the both of us 🤞
 
Are they still on the A5 by Gailey roundabout?

I have contacted them today to see if they have a specific model in stock. They have said they will come back to me.
 
I know they are really busy I’ve been in contact with Claire over my deal she’s been very helpful, hope everything goes ok for you 👍
 
Our van is due in for it's first Hab check as need it for the warranty, we also have very minor warranty work needing done, DM contacted me at the beginning of April to arrange these jobs, I mentioned to them I have a Knaus caravan approved mobile guy close by who is willing to do the work but would need the all clear as he doesn't do MH's. DM's contacted Knaus and I have permission to use him as he's on their system, DM have said if any of the jobs are to big for him they will do them as this is to save me doing a 500 mile round trip for them to look and possibly another one for the repairs.

I can't complain about that.
