Like you, we understand that one white van isn't the same as the next. With so many variations available, the van you choose should be closely matched to your profession. Here's a short selection of some of the most popular Mercedes vans we service and some snippets of what Mercedes and dealers say about them.
What Mercedes say about the Vito van:
"Mercedes claim that the Vito can lower your costs, because Vito has the highest residual value in its class and this van features Mercedes' unique Service ASSYST engine management system, giving it one of the longest servicing intervals. The Vito is available as a panel van, dualiner or traveliner (seating up to 9 people). The sporty 120 CDI 2.9 t engine also does 0-60 in under 9 seconds."
What Mercedes say about the Sprinter:
"Mercedes say that the Sprinter van comes with a powerful new engine range, extra wheelbase and roof height options, and Adaptive ESP® (a breakthrough driving safety system that dynamically monitors your load status). The Sprinter comes in than 200 combinations of body styles, wheelbases, payloads and engines, and includes panel van, traveliner, chassis cab and dropsied options."
What Mercedes say about the Vario:
"Adaptability is the key word that Mercedes use to describe the Vario van. They say that the Vario is the ideal, no-compromise solution for packaged or bulk goods, express or fragile, work tools or work crew. The Vario van capacity is between 13.3 and 17.4 cubic meters, depending upon the model chosen."
Main Dealer Service Vs National Van Servicing Network
When you choose your Mercedes van also take into account the servicing costs. Did you know that you no longer have to accept main dealer van service prices?
In October 2003 European new legislation affecting the motor industry came into force called "Block Exemption Regulation" 14002002 (BER). The new law now allows everyone the freedom to service a van away from the main dealers, and still have their warranty protected.
This gives you the freedom to shop around and take advantage of national van servicing networks such as Service A Van, who service your van according to the manufacturer's service schedule, stamp your service book just as a main dealer can and could save you up to 50% off main dealer servicing costs.
As well as giving you access to cheap Mercedes van servicing online, Service A Van will collect and deliver your van free of charge from home or work or virtually anywhere in the country, at a time to suit you. You might even be on a job and having your van collected and serviced at the same time.
