If you could avoid this, would you?

Well, just as regular maintenance of production machinery prevents breakdowns and prolongs life, regular van servicing helps keep your customers happy and extends the life of your key business asset – your van.

Servicing doesn’t need to cost the earth. Now you can book a cheap van service online, so you’re no longer tied to the main dealer for your company van servicing. Take one minute to read this and I’ll show you an easier way for busy business people like you to arrange cheap van servicing from where you’re sitting right now, without interrupting your day…

Keeping Your Fuel Costs Down

Businesses have to budget for ever increasing fuel bills, so why burn more than you have to? Leading automobile bodies advise regular vehicle servicing to maintain engine efficiency. When the engine runs efficiently and is lubricated with good quality oil, you refuel less often. Consequently you spend less on fuel each month than if your van service was overdue.

To maintain your van’s fuel economy, experts advise that you book your van service at regular intervals, according to the manufacturer’s schedule. Importantly, this means that, as part of the van service, the correct specification of engine oil is used.

Your van servicing costs should include an oil change and a new oil filter too. Engine oil carries away contaminants that are collected by the oil filter. This keeps the engine oil clean, so your engine operates efficiently and without excessive wear to moving parts.

Regular van servicing costs a little, but prevents expensive long term problems and can maintain a better fuel economy.

Spark plugs are another essential engine component to consider replacing when booking your van service. Your van servicing costs should not change dramatically by having this done, but your fuel economy might well increase.

Another simple way of maintaining fuel efficiency is to check tyre pressures regularly. Under-inflated tyres create more rolling resistance with the road and so use more fuel.

“The Toyota Hilux pick up truck is a sixth-generation model that takes the concept of exceptionally practical strength combined with true driving enjoyment to new heights, combining a rugged look with aerodynamic design.

The core design is a hard-working and capable vehicle, yet the Toyota Hilux pick up can service your flexible needs, since it also offers the comforts and drive of a passenger car and can be a full five-seater vehicle in double cab format. Toyota say that it is a ready and willing practical pick up partner.”

Main Dealer Service Vs National Van Servicing Network

When you choose your Toyota van also take into account the servicing costs. 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 will 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 Toyota 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.
