How do I know if one is due?

When using your van regularly, you should expect to service it every 12,000 miles, or 24 months – whichever comes first.

Are you able to service my VW van without it affecting the warranty?

Absolutely. There’s a common misunderstanding that independent garages can’t service vans under warranty – however, recent changes in legislation mean that VW drivers can now choose whichever garage they wish for servicing and repairs, without affecting the manufacture warranty.

We’re fully trained in VW code of practice for all servicing and repairs, and we complete your logbook to maintain your vehicle’s service history in full. This aids you in gaining a higher resale value should you ever wish to sell on your van.

What happens during an VW van service?

01

Lighting & Visibility – The front, rear, and internal lights are rigorously checked for optimal performance. All windows, mirrors, and wipers are reviewed for chips, faults, and weak areas. Registration plates are cleaned and maintained for clarity and sturdiness.

02

Under Bonnet – A full under bonnet inspection ensures there are no leaks or faults, and all components are in working order. Where required, we replace the air filter, oil filter, spark plugs, and drive belts.

03

Vehicle Interior – Seat belts are tested in line with safety standards. All internal controls are checked, such as the horn, hazard light button, and other vehicle controls for responsiveness and function. Using diagnostics, we complete full system analysis. This includes reviewing the air conditioning, making sure warning messages are addressed, and checking for intermittent and permanent faults flagged by the computer.

04

Steering, Drive & Suspension – Wheel alignment is analysed, and all joints, gaiters (protective sleeves on vehicle parts), and wheel bearings are extensively inspected for sturdiness and function. . The front and rear shock absorbers and road springs are tested to ensure the suspension functions effectively and maintains the right level of friction.

05

Braking – Both the front and rear brake mechanisms are checked and measured in line with safety requirements, allowing us to accurately report on their service life.

06

 Under Vehicle  – The trays under your van are removed and the engine oil is drained. The transmission is then checked for leaks, rust, and corrosion

07

Tyre Inspection – All wheels and wheel nuts are inspected for sturdiness, weak points, and corrosion. Tyres reads are inspected for significant wear, and tyre pressures are adjusted prior to refitting. We also check your spare wheel and/or inflation kit if appropriate for your vehicle.

08

Final Checks – We assess the brake fluid and conduct an antifreeze test – crucial for road safety, especially during winter months. Finally, we fill your engine with new oil – this is vital for engine cleanliness and performance.

How will I be kept informed on the progress of my VW van service?

We’re the most reliable and transparent service for your Preston VW commercial van. 

During a service, we complete your service book as well as a report detailing all the repairs needed, and any we’d recommend for the overall benefit of your van. And if you want to go ahead with the work, we complete it there and then where possible.

    Recently bought a 3 series BMW and was looking for a family owned BMW independently owned garage to look after my car. Following nearly 30 years driving company cars, this was my first car I’ve actually owned in that time period. The most important thing for me was peace of mind. I drive a lot of miles and need to make sure my car is completely road worthy and safe. I couldn’t have been... Read More

    Superb customer service. I used them last year but then moved from the area. I was so impressed I have continued to use them. Courtesy car provided, but the best bit is the dialogue with them, letting me know of issues and costs etc. Sarah, the Receptionist is ace! Knowledgeable, friendly and professional. I would not take my Land Rover anywhere else.

    Superb BMW service!
    Marc’s have maintained my 4 Series from new with excellent prompt & courteous service using genuine parts. The onboard BMW diagnostics are correctly reset, and full manufacturer’s warranty remains at much more competitive rates than main dealers, in a friendly, accessible town centre location. Courtesy car also available. Highly recommended! 😀

    Marc’s garage are half the price of the main Mercedes dealers, way more polite, welcoming and professional. They use genuine Mercedes parts, oils and update the official Mercedes systems which keep your warranty intact. I’m using them from now on as they give peace of mind when buying a Mercedes. Very professional and so nice. Thank you Marc’s garage and all your staff!

    Very pleased with the service last week. Brought our LR discovery sport in for some diagnostic work and this was carried out to an excellent standard. Amanda even managed to get us a short-notice cancellation. We are very grateful and would thoroughly recommend Marc's Garage. As and when we need further work, we will be back. Thank you.
