VW Van Servicing
If you rely on your transit van to keep your business up and running, regular servicing is incredibly important.
Although not a legal requirement, servicing your van regularly is vital if you want to keep it in good shape, and here at CJ Auto, we’ve got all the tools, knowledge, and experience to service commercial vehicles such as these.

Annual van service at CJ Auto
Typically, you’ll need to get your service book stamped once a year or once every 12,000 miles (whichever comes first), to ensure your van is safe to drive on UK roads.
Our transit van servicing includes:
- Checking for damage to your trims, number plates, bodywork, and mirrors
- Oil filter replacements
- Checking under the body for corrosion
- Checking for signs of leaks from the cylinders
- Spark plug replacements
- Wheel alignment/rebalancing
- Checking of door hinges, catching, and locks
- And much more!
We have a selection of genuine parts at our disposal should you need any replacements and are dedicated to ensuring your vehicle is kept in the best condition possible.
VW Van Servicing FAQs
Technically, no, you don’t need to have your VW van serviced every year. However, at CJ Auto, we strongly recommend booking in for an interim service before 12 months have elapsed, or before you’ve travelled 12,500 miles since your last service.
This is to help ensure the van is still roadworthy and running as expected before its next “full service”, which is slightly different. A full service is a more thorough inspection of your vehicle, and includes checks of your engine and drivebox mounts, throttle operation, engine cooling fan and much more.

VW-specific expertise: Our extensive experience with Volkswagen vehicles means we’re more than well-equipped to keep your van in as exceptional a condition as possible.
The right tools: Our diagnostic equipment will help us identify any potential problems quickly, so we can fix them for you and advise on any other necessary action.
Genuine VW parts: Should your VW van need any replacement parts, we’ll always use the most appropriate replacements that are genuine and fully fit for purpose.
Increased resale value: Choosing a reputable service provider like CJ Auto means your van will likely retain far greater resale value in the future, simply because it’s in better condition under the hood.
Proactive maintenance: By offering interim servicing and identifying problems early, we can catch them before they spiral into something much bigger.
At CJ Auto, we understand that there’s a huge difference between consumer and commercial vehicles, and the way they’re used. That’s why, for typically high-mileage vehicles that are used frequently - like VW vans - our technicians pay supremely close attention to aspects of the vehicle that may endure the most stress in such circumstances.
For instance, brakes, suspension and chassis endure more stress than standard vehicles when carrying heavier loads for longer periods, which is why they need special care in every service. On top of this, regular oil and fluid checks are essential to ensure the van’s engine will continue to run as expected, given the heavy workloads it endures.
