Hi everyone im getting the van ready for our second year, I was just wondering how much would I expect to pay for a pre season service ( roughly ). Everything seems fine and I winterised it thoroughly with the help and advice of forum members. I wont be taking it to a dealer I will be using a mobile repair / service guy.

Thanks in advance

We too have opted for a mobile service and had quotes from £160 up to £200 in Essex.

There maybe cheaper around but we ensured we went with an NCC Approved Workshop for piece of mind as this will be our first ever service.

Hope this helps

I go with the mobile chap as well. I have a chassis check every other year, and in the intervening years I have a gas and electric check.

A gas and electric check is much cheaper than a habitation check, if you're sure there's no damp, etc. And a chassis check sorts out the running gear. Both cost me around £70-£80 the last time I had them done.

I think you mean changed hub nuts. That is standard on alko chassis that have oneshots fitted. 140 is around the average forafull service.

Our van is in for its first service as I type, think its around £200 with Leisure Sales whom we purchased it from.

I took it back to the dealer for the job as there are other things I wanted doing so it was more of a "for ease" situation rather than using a mobile one :)
