Vans back on the road — and you'll know why it was off.

Light commercials looked after with the same evidence-first approach as cars. Downtime costs you money, so we're straight with you about what needs doing now and what can wait.

Common van jobs

  • Brakes wearing faster than on a car
    Weight and stop-start work take it out of pads and discs. We measure and film them.
  • The clutch slipping under load
    A loaded van shows a tired clutch long before an empty one does.
  • A warning light mid-job
    Codes read and the cause proved before we quote, so you're not paying for guesses.
  • Knocks over rough ground
    Suspension joints and bushes on working vans wear quickly — the play gets shown to you on camera.
  • The MOT is coming up
    Class 4 vans (up to 3,000kg) are tested in our own MOT centre.

Same on every job

You'll see what's worn before you pay for it.

Every finding is filmed, explained and priced, so you can decide what gets done now and plan the rest around the work you've got on.

Van repairs: common questions

Do you MOT vans?

Yes — light vans in Class 4 (up to 3,000kg design gross weight) are tested in our own MOT centre. Larger vans from 3,000 to 3,500kg are Class 7, which we don't test.

Can you service my van without affecting the warranty?

Yes. UK competition rules (the motor vehicle block exemption) let you have a van serviced by an independent garage without affecting the manufacturer warranty, as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts of matching quality.

What van work do you do?

Servicing, diagnostics, brakes, suspension, clutches and tyres on light commercials, with the same video health check we do on cars.
