Our Services
Your van doesn't earn while it's on our ramp. We know it, so we work around it — Class 4 and Class 7 MOTs and full LCV servicing, done here in Aveley, with the turnaround kept as tight as the job allows.
Call us now on:
Class 4 or Class 7
It comes down to design gross weight, and plenty of drivers get it wrong.
vans up to 3,000kg DGW. Transit Custom, Vivaro, Transporter, Berlingo, Caddy, most car-derived vans.
vans between 3,000kg and 3,500kg DGW. Long-wheelbase Transits, Sprinters, Crafters, bigger Lutons and box bodies.
Not every garage is licensed for Class 7. We are, so whichever end of the range your van sits at, it gets tested here rather than sent on.
Not sure which yours is?
It's on the VIN plate, or call us with the reg and we'll tell you.
A van in the workshop is a day's work lost. We plan around that.
Book an MOT and service together and most vans go through in a single visit. If something fails, we'll tell you straight away whether it's a same-day fix or a parts order, so you can plan the week rather than waiting on a phone call.
Early drop-offs and end-of-day collections where we can.
Servicing
Vans work harder than cars. Higher mileage, heavier loads, more short-run stop-start, and service intervals that come round faster.
every 6 months or 6,000 miles. Oil and filter, fluids, brakes, tyres, lights, and a ramp inspection of steering, suspension and exhaust.
every 12 months or 12,000 miles. Everything above plus air, cabin and fuel filters, plugs where fitted, brake fluid and coolant testing, and a full brake strip.
Beyond the schedule, the jobs that actually take vans off the road:
Your manufacturer warranty stays valid - we follow the manufacturer schedule and use matching-quality parts, which is what the law requires.
