How Often Should You Get Your New Van Serviced?

The importance of servicing your van is something that certainly should not be overlooked. Not only is it a massive safety risk if you neglect servicing, but it can also save you money on future repairs too. It is difficult to identify issues on vehicles without knowledge and experience, so it’s best to have your vehicle serviced at regular intervals so you know your vehicle is safe on the roads. Whether it’s a petrol, diesel or electric van, looking after your vehicle means you’re less likely to receive a big bill in the future!

Find out all you need to know about van servicing with this handy guide from VanSales UK!

How Often?

To fully ensure that your van is serviced and in the best condition possible, it is recommended that you have your vehicle serviced once a year. New vans actually have the ability to inform you when a service is due by displaying an alert message on the dashboard, making it difficult for you to miss! Whilst the rule of thumb is to have your van serviced once a year, service intervals can vary depending on the age and mileage of the van. You can find out the service intervals of your new van by checking the manual guide. If you own an electric van, it’s important to remember that the service intervals are usually much longer than petrol or diesel vans.

How Much?

Now that we have addressed how often you should get a service, you might also be wondering how much services actually cost. Whilst it depends on the garage you visit, the average cost of a basic service is around £125. It’s important to note that this doesn’t include the costs of any repairs or replacement parts, that’s why it’s important to look after your vehicle and ensure that it is maintained properly.

What To Expect

When taking your van for a service, you might be wondering what they’re actually looking at. Essentially, they will carry out checks on the inside and outside of the vehicle, ensuring that everything is in peak condition. Almost every service will feature an oil filter change, however, this obviously varies if you drive an electric van. Having your van serviced and maintained will not only make for a better drive, but it’s also much safer too – so it’s vital you stay on top of it!

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
