I run three vans in Canterbury — can you do them as a batch?+
Yes. We schedule fleet jobs back-to-back so you only ever have one off the road at a time. Email us your fleet list for a tailored quote.
Will this affect my warranty?+
If your van is still under Ford warranty, work needs to be carried out by a Ford dealer to keep that. Most of our work is on out-of-warranty vans where we're saving owners £1,000+ vs the dealer.
Do you offer collection from Canterbury industrial estates?+
Yes — we collect from Wincheap, Vauxhall Industrial Estate and Sturry Road business parks.
