How To Reduce Your Van Servicing Costs

When shopping around for cheap van servicing online, it's important to choose a reputable national van servicing network with the capabilities to service all types of van.

Types of Van and How to Save on Servicing Costs

Commercial vehicle servicing costs will typically vary across the four categories of vans, microvans, car derived & light vans, pick-ups and panel vans, and then by manufacturer.

Miicrovan servicing will include the Aixam Mega and Piaggio Porter. Whereas the car derived and light van service price list will be more extensive and will include the following:

Citroën Berlingo, Citroen C2, Citroen C-Crosser, Citroen Nemo, Fiat Doblo Cargo, Fiat Fiorino Cargo, Fiat Grande Punto, Ford Fiesta, Ford Transit Connect, Kia Sorento, Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery, Land Rover Freelander, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mitsubishi Shogun, Nissan Kubistar, Peugeot 207, Peugeot Bipper, Peugeot Partner, Renault Clio, Renault Kangoo, SsangYong Kyron, SsangYong Rexton, Vauxhall Astravan, Vauxhall Combo, Vauxhall Corsavan, Volkswagen Caddy.

In comparison the price list for pick-up van servicing is more condensed and includes the following models:

Ford Ranger, Isuzu Rodeo, Mazda BT-50, Mitsubishi L200, Nissan Cabstar, Nissan Navara, Nissan NP300, Toyota Dyna, Toyota Hilux.

To save on panel van servicing costs, checking online can get you a great discount off main dealer prices. Whilst car derived vans can be easily compared to their car equivalent to get the lowest servicing price, panel vans are designed as commercial vehicles. So without an online servicing quote it can be harder to get the best deal and save on main dealer van servicing prices.

If you own one of the following panel vans, you should contact a national van servicing network for a competitive quote:

Citroen Dispatch, Citroen Relay, Fiat Ducato, Fiat Scudo, Ford Transit, Huyndai iLoad, Iveco Daily, LDV Maxus, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Mercedes Benz Vito, Nissan Interstar, Nissan Primastar, Peugeot Boxer, Peugeot Expert, Renault Master, Renault Trafic, Toyota Hiace, Vauxhall Movano, Vauxhall Vivaro, Volkswagen Crafter, Volkswagen Transporter.

Main Dealer Service Vs National Van Servicing Network

When you chose your van, did you look at the servicing costs and did you know that you no longer have to accept main dealer van service prices?

In October 2003 European new legislation affecting the motor industry came into force called "Block Exemption Regulation" 14002002 (BER). The new law now allows everyone the freedom to service a van away from the main dealers, and still have their warranty protected.

This gives you the freedom to shop around and take advantage of national van servicing networks such as Service A Van, who service your van according to the manufacturer's service schedule, stamp your service book just as a main dealer can and could save you up to 50% off main dealer servicing costs.

As well as giving you access to cheap van servicing online, Service A Van will collect and deliver your van free of charge from home or work or virtually anywhere in the country, at a time to suit you. You might even be on a job and having your van collected and serviced at the same time.

This option is not only available for popular makes and models, as listed above, you can also ring up for a van servicing quote on manufacturers such as Aixam, Brembo, Citroën, DAF, Daihatsu, Hyundai, Isuzu, Isuzu Truck, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, MAN, ERF, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Modec, Nissan, Proton, Rover, Santana, Seat, Skoda, Ssangyong, Suzuki, Toyota and Vauxhall (including the Vauxhall Astravan).
