Servicing & planned maintenance

Planned maintenance is the cheapest work we do, because it is the work that stops the expensive kind. Servicing to manufacturer guidelines, scheduled around your operation rather than ours, at our workshop just south of Derby — so vehicles come off the road when it suits you instead of when they decide to.

Servicing to the schedule the vehicle was built to

Oil and filter changes, brake checks, fluid levels, wear items, lights and electrics, and a proper look at the things that fail quietly. Work is carried out to manufacturer guidelines and recorded, so the vehicle's history stands up when somebody asks to see it.

Planned around your week, not ours

The workshop at Melbourne runs Monday to Friday, 07:30 to 17:00, and slots are booked around your operation. Tell us when a vehicle can realistically be released and we will work to it. An operator who plans downtime keeps control of it; an operator who waits for a failure does not.

Where servicing meets everything else

Most of what turns into a roadside breakdown announces itself first as a wear item somebody could have caught. Servicing, safety inspections and brake testing overlap for exactly that reason, and running them together on one schedule is both cheaper and less disruptive than treating them as three separate jobs with three separate days off the road.

The same team, either way

The technicians who service your vehicles are the same ones who come out when a vehicle fails at an awkward hour. They know the fleet, they have seen the history, and they are not meeting the vehicle for the first time on the hard shoulder.

Vehicles we service

HGVs, rigids and artics, trailers, vans and light commercials, and coaches and minibuses. If you are not sure whether something falls within our scope, ring and ask — the answer is usually yes.

Pulled in by a wrecker with a knackered clutch on my daf about 1130. The lads were on the job as soon as the part came in and had in finished and back on the road by 1715. Cracking job only wish you could give more than 5* Thanks Nick, Kaleb and Ben for getting me sorted and back on the road the same day 👍🏼

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the vehicle, the mileage and the work it does, and the manufacturer's schedule is the starting point. Tell us what you run and how it is used and we will set out a sensible interval — and where it makes sense, line it up with your safety inspections so the vehicle comes off the road once rather than twice.
