or businesses using commercial vans, their uptime, reliability and running costs are critical. If you use commercial vans for your business, keeping them in good condition can be somewhat challenging. If you are in Manchester or surrounding areas, we make the process of van service, MOT and repairs easy and hassle free.
Many businesses use vans and for most of them, their operations depend on their vans. Although vans are primarily used for transportation, small businesses also use them as mobile offices, store rooms and break rooms. For some service providers like food-van owners, the van is also their shop front. Here are some common applications of commercial vans where the business depends on the fleet.
If you are a builder, vans are crucial for your projects. Construction materials like bricks and cement bags are heavy and construction vans operate under tough conditions. Wear and tear will be common and frequent checks and regular servicing is essential. A breakdown can be very disruptive to your work and usually results in unnecessary expenses, losses and delays. This also makes it important to have access to a garage that can perform accurate diagnosis and perfect repairs in the shortest possible time.
If you are a joiner, carpenter or carpet fitter, your day-to-day work depends on your van. You probably use it to transport materials, tools and equipment between your office and worksites. The same goes for painters and decorators. Needless to say, van uptime and operating costs are critical for your business.
If you are a plumber or gardener, your van is not just a vehicle for transporting materials and tools, it also doubles as a mobile office and workshop. Your business is service oriented and word of mouth is important. Reputation can make a lot of difference when it comes to getting new enquiries and retaining existing customers. Your van is critical for reaching work locations in time and providing prompt service. You also drive around a lot and you want the ride to be comfortable. Having a well-maintained and reliable van that runs smoothly can make a big difference.
For removals, the entire business circles around their transporters. Removal vans have to carry heavy loads and sometimes navigate roads that may not be ideal for such heavily loaded vehicles. Removal companies have to use a heavy-duty van and ensure that it’s regularly checked and maintained well.
While most businesses can rent an alternative if one of their vans break down, this is usually not an option for food truck owners. Their entire business centres around their van and they can’t operate if they can’t get to the right place at the right time. Any vehicle that doubles as a shop front needs regular maintenance and care.
For businesses depending on vans, fuel and maintenance costs can add up to a large sum. Most of these businesses are highly competitive and price sensitive. A van that breaks down often or has high running costs can make a significant dent in profits.
When your van is critical for your operations, taking it off duty for maintenance or MOTs can be a challenge. You have to plan carefully to ensure that the unavailability of the vehicle does not affect your operations significantly. The first thing to do is to find the right garage. You need one that is dependable, gives you fast service when required and has the technical knowledge.
Finding The Right Garage
For reliable and economical van maintenance, you need a garage that has the right equipment, people and experience. It should use good quality spares to ensure that maintenance and repairs are reliable, economical and maintains the resale value of your van.
While any garage that fits the above description is a good place for van servicing, a garage that specialises in vans is a much better option. Service centres that mostly cater to commercial vehicles or vans will be more tuned to your requirements. Without private cars competing for service slots, you are also likely to get appointments faster.
