Van clutches

Mobile Mechanic Van Service

It’s easy to think of a van as a car with a bigger body, but most vans are used commercially. They tend to do more stop-start, shorter journeys, most have diesel engines, and they’re subjected to more wear and tear. Harder use means some components wear faster in a van than in a car, and the clutch is one of them.

The clutch is what lets your van change gear smoothly, among other jobs. It’s one of the hardest-working parts of the van and naturally wears over the years. Keeping on top of its maintenance with our mobile van service helps you avoid expensive repairs at unexpected times. A regular check can tell whether there’s a fault, what’s causing it and the right way to put it right.

If a full van clutch replacement is needed, knowing in advance means it can be scheduled when it suits your business, so you lose no working time.

Van servicing

Van Service Reading

The importance of regular van servicing is hard to overstate. It helps extend the life of your van, makes it safer and more reliable for your drivers, and helps you avoid costly repairs or breakdowns, so your business keeps running smoothly.

Sticking to the service intervals in the vehicle handbook means minor issues are caught early, before they become larger problems. For example, checking suspension wear at a service can show up wear that would cause jolting or bumping before it goes too far, saving you money down the line. Interim services, as well as a full annual service, should be carried out by a van mechanic who knows van models and the manufacturers’ recommended procedures.

Prevention is far better than an emergency repair. Stretching the time between services can cost you more in repair bills, and a van off the road means lost revenue and disappointed customers. Unhappy customers may not cost you money directly, but they do cost your business its reputation. Book your van in to avoid these problems.
