Deployed in line with the brand’s Working With You’ promise, the Mobile Service vans can be used to carry out service work, inspections, A/C servicing, MoT repairs, minor warranty work and software updates remotely at the fleet base location.
Volkswagen will further complement this by offering extended servicing hours to all customers from the start of 2017.
The first three vans are in operation at bases at Cordwallis Maidenhead, Heathrow and Oxford, and have been equipped by specialist conversion company, Surrey-based Winton Engineering. A total of 10 more Mobile Service Clinic vans are expected to join the network by summer 2017, with nationwide coverage planned towards the end of next year.
David Bodily, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles service development manager, said: “I’m delighted with the Mobile Service Clinic vans; they look fantastic and will provide a great alternative for fleet customers.
“We’ve found the main concern for fleet customers is downtime and how long their vehicles are off the road. The Mobile Service Clinic van is a convenient alternative for these businesses and demonstrates how we are dedicated to fulfilling our ‘Working with You’ promise to customers.
“We are providing the perfect package for the fleet network; customers simply have to call or email us to arrange a suitable time to book the work. It saves them money, time and minimises inconvenience.”
