Van Brake Repairs in Aldershot
Brakes on a van take significantly more punishment than on a standard car due to the additional weight and load. Worn brake pads, corroded discs, or failing callipers are some of the most common reasons vans fail their MOT or become unsafe to drive. It’s important to keep your vehicle’s brakes working effectively — your life depends on it.
Our brake repair service for vans includes:
- Brake pad replacement (front and rear)
- Brake disc and drum replacement
- Brake calliper repair and replacement
- Brake fluid change and bleeding
- Handbrake adjustment and cable replacement
- ABS fault diagnosis and repair
Van Clutch Repair & Replacement
A slipping, stiff, or juddering clutch is one of the most common van complaints — particularly in high-mileage vehicles used for deliveries or trades. Catching a clutch issue early almost always saves money. If you notice any of the following, book a check-up immediately:
- Clutch slipping when accelerating under load
- Difficulty engaging gears
- A burning smell when pulling away
- Spongy or high clutch pedal
- Grinding or rattling when pressing the clutch
We carry out full clutch replacements and related flywheel and gearbox work for all van makes and models, using OEM-quality parts.
Van Suspension & Steering Repairs
Vans frequently carry heavy loads, which places much greater stress on suspension and steering components than a standard car. Worn shock absorbers, springs, control arm bushes, or steering rack components can make your van unsafe to drive and cause it to fail its MOT.
Warning signs your van suspension needs attention:
- Bouncy or unstable ride, especially when loaded
- Pulling to one side when driving or braking
- Clunking, knocking, or rattling over bumps
- Uneven tyre wear
- Difficulty steering or excessive steering wheel play
We carry out full suspension diagnostics, component replacement, and 4-wheel alignment for all van types.
Van Exhaust Repairs
A damaged or leaking exhaust on a van can reduce fuel efficiency, increase emissions, and cause an MOT failure. A well-maintained exhaust system improves fuel economy and reduces harmful emissions — especially important for commercial vans that cover long distances.
Our exhaust repairs include:
- Exhaust leak detection and repair
- Catalytic converter replacement
- DPF cleaning and replacement
- Exhaust manifold repair
- Exhaust bracket and hanger replacement
- Full or partial exhaust system replacement
Van Electrical & Diagnostic Repairs
Modern vans are packed with complex electrical systems — from engine management units to DAB radios, reversing cameras, and telematics. Electrical faults can be difficult to trace without the right equipment. Our workshop is equipped with the latest manufacturer-level diagnostic software, which allows us to identify issues accurately and perform servicing that protects your manufacturer’s warranty.
Electrical repairs we cover:
- Engine management system fault diagnosis
- Battery testing and replacement
- Alternator and starter motor repair
- Wiring fault investigation
- Sensor replacement (O2, MAF, crankshaft, camshaft)
- Central locking and window regulator repair
- Lighting fault repair
