Maintaining your van is essential for ensuring its longevity and reliability. At Hampshire Vans, we believe in empowering our customers with the knowledge to keep their vehicles in top condition. Here’s a concise checklist of five essential maintenance tips every van owner should follow:

 

1. Always Keep Lubricated: Regular Oil and Fluid Checks

 

Regularly check and change your van's oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Don't forget other vital fluids like brake, power steering, transmission, and coolant fluids.

 

2. Keep Rollin' Rollin' Rollin': Tyre Maintenance for Your Van

 

Ensure your tyres are correctly inflated and check them for wear and tear. Properly maintained tyres improve safety, fuel efficiency, and handling.

 

 

3. We Can’t Stop: Brake System Is Your Safety Net

 

Regularly inspect your brake pads, discs, and fluid. A responsive brake system is crucial, especially for vans carrying heavy loads or navigating busy city traffic.

 

4. Don't Run Out of Juice: Battery Care for Your Van

Keep an eye on your van’s battery health, especially in extreme weather conditions. A failing battery can lead to unexpected breakdowns.

 

 

5. Lights, Camera, Action: Visibility and Functionality

 

Regularly check all lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, for functionality. Also, ensure that the van's electrical system is functioning correctly.

 

Conclusion

A well-maintained van is a dependable partner for your business or personal use. These simple yet effective maintenance steps can save you time and money in the long run. Remember, prevention is always better than cure when it comes to vehicle maintenance.
