Ford Van Servicing

Servicing is now much cheaper, for those in the know. Thanks to European legislation, you no longer have to be tied to high Ford service costs, dictated by your local dealer.

In October 2003 new European legislation affecting the motor industry came into force called "Block Exemption Regulation" 14002002 (BER), and this now means that you can book your next Ford van service online and save up to 50% on what you might pay at your local Ford dealer.

Before the law changed it was difficult to have new vans within their warranty period serviced outside a franchised dealer. If you wanted to shop around for the best prices on Ford van servicing, your hands were tied. The change in the law now gives every van owner the freedom to service their van away from the main dealers, and still have their warranty protected.

Thousands of Ford van owners have now taken advantage of their new right and reduced their Ford serving costs, whilst benefiting from the convenience of booking with national van service providers such as Service A Van.

Service A Van is a leading online van servicing network that prides itself on the quality of its Ford servicing, their customer service and transparent pricing. Because the company is not tied to any particular van manufacturer, they are able to service any make of vehicle and compete freely in the market, on a like-for-like.

Every vehicle is rigorously serviced according to the manufacturer’s servicing schedule, using genuine recommended parts fitted by qualified technicians. This means that every Ford van service fulfils the warranty criteria and there is no compromise on the servicing standards of a main dealer.

Companies like Service A Van, who fulfil the warranty criteria when servicing your Ford, are able to maintain your service book, just as main dealer can – thereby protecting your warranty and helping you to maximise the resale value of your Ford van.

Of course, booking direct with a national van servicing network has its own advantages:
• You no longer have to do all the running around. Service A Van collects your Ford in the morning and delivers it back that afternoon, free of charge
• You pay a fixed Ford service price, which can be up to 50% below the price at the Ford servicing desk of your local dealer
• No additional work is vanried out without your agreement, which means no nasty surprises when it comes to paying the bill
• Trained Customer Advisers are on hand throughout the day to keep you informed of progress, and report back on problems you asked to be investigated as part of your Ford service e.g. knocks and rattles
• Your Ford service includes a free wash and vacuum clean
• You simply pay with your credit or debit vand and your van is delivered back to your home or work address.

Our advice for saving money on Ford van servicing is to contact a national van servicing network, who is not tied to any one particular van manufacturer, like Service A Van.

So, before you book your next Ford van service, why not ask your local dealer to tell you the cost of the service (plus parts, oil and any extras) and then compare it with a fixed price quote from a national servicing network, like Service A Van?

Happy motoring,
