How to Maintain a Van Fleet: Maintenance and Cleaning

There is no question that a lot of things come with upholding a positive reputation for your business. It goes without saying that the service which you offer has to be second to none. What’s more, your timing and customer relations should also be impeccable. However, there is another side to running a successful business which gets overlooked all too often. Your image is imperative if you want to run a successful business. After all, first impressions count for a huge percentage of people’s opinions and nothing provides a better first impression than your image. So, keep reading this blog to find out more about maintaining your van fleet.

Windscreens

Your windscreen is, as you might expect, one of the most important parts of your van and you must make sure that it is well-maintained at all times. Above all else, keeping a dirty windscreen is a serious health and safety hazard. Countless traffic collisions are caused every year by poor visibility. So, it is imperative that your vehicles are clean at all times. The second reason to maintain your windows is, of course, customer perception. If you drive around a dirty or poorly maintained vehicle, you will probably receive far fewer positive reviews, as first impressions count for an awful lot in most industries.

Mechanics

The mechanical well-being of a van is, as you might expect, extremely important. When something goes wrong with your vehicle, it can cause worryingly high bills and less time on the road will mean you have less time to make money.  Though there is a solution to this age-old issue. Most mechanical failures happen as a direct result of neglect. Vehicle owners will often ignore small issues or warning lights to try to avoid paying a bill. Though we’re afraid that this bill is inevitable and it’s much cheaper to fix the issue sooner rather than later as mechanical issues often evolve into far more serious problems over time.

Maintenance Package

One of the best ways to ensure that you have a reliable van is to opt for a maintenance package. This will ensure that your entire fleet is treated in the right way and can effectively transport and represent your business. We understand that looking after a large group of vehicles at a time is a stressful ordeal, which is why we would recommend a maintenance package.

"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."
