Parts supplier Multipart has launched a Save Your Van scheme to cut the number of damaged LDV vans being written off.
With more than £14m-worth of parts in their network and availability running at 96%, Multipart is keen to keep as many LDV vans on the roads for as long as possible.
Through Save Your Van, Multipart says the scheme, being run through the 80-stong LDV dealer network, can quickly determine whether it is viable to repair a vehicle. The process includes charging parts and labour by the dealership to the end user.
Multipart sales and marketing director John Cascone says many of the 100,000-plus LDV vehicles still in service have had expensive modifications made to them, such as special tool racking. "The value of these modifications is particularly relevant when major crash repair is required and too often perfectly repairable vehicles are being written off as being not viable to repair," he says.
"Large fleet operators such as the Royal Mail look for up to seven years out of their LDVs. Many vans are in service with cash-strapped local authorities, schools, charities and the military and they too will want to obtain the optimum economic life they can from them," he says.
"The Save Your Van programme will greatly assist these owners as well as general users."
