If you run a business and have one or more vehicles on the road, commercial vehicle servicing is important to protect your revenues and business. If one of your commercial vehicles breaks down, then it's one less vehicle on the road making money for your business. It will also cost more money to repair and get the commercial vehicle back onto the road. If you have a sales force who need to be on the road selling products and one of the sales team breaks down, then that is one less person to sell and will impact your profits.

Fleet and commercial vehicle management and maintenance are becoming more and more important for companies to reduce their costs, minimise risk and protect business revenues. If vehicles are involved in accidents or break downs, they will need to be replaced temporarily and fixed fast; and both will be at a cost.

You'll also need to ensure that you have a reputable garage that can give you the very best truck, lorry or van servicing, and the highest standards in HGV servicing. Some garages offer commercial vehicle inspections that enable you to detect problems early on, help to monitor your fleet, and plan for any commercial vehicle servicing in advance. They will produce service reports, inspection, servicing and MOT schedules and reminders, so that all fleet maintenance can be planned and budgeted for in a timely way.

Some garages offer a commercial vehicle programme so that you can keep your vehicles at optimum performance and maintenance levels with regular commercial vehicle servicing. This will ultimately help you to manage your fleet costs and reduce the costs and risks of break-down. Shop around for the best deals and a service programme that works best for your business.

If you have a large fleet, then you may be able to get a discount on lorry, van or truck servicing based on the volume of vehicles that you have. And if you have different models of vehicles, check that the garage can provide servicing for all of them.

How to select a good standard commercial vehicle servicing garage:

Ensure that your garage can cater up to the vehicle sizes that you have, make sure that their staff are trained technicians that have knowledge about commercial vehicle servicing and if possible your model of commercial vehicle.Check that they have the latest diagnostic and technical equipment, check if they provide other services, including exhausts, wheel alignment, electrics, batteries, so that you can get a discount on other work needed. Ask for references and ask other business associates for their recommendations
