Vauxhall has expanded its MasterFit Premier Service network.

The expanded network centres will offer Vauxhall’s commercial vehicle operators an extended range of services to help minimise the time their vans need to be off the road for maintenance and repair work.

Through the network, Vauxhall commercial vehicles can now be booked in for a service within 72 hours of the request being made.

Vauxhall also pledges to carry out fault diagnosis, or repairs that will take less than 90 minutes, within one hour of the vehicle arriving at the PSC even without an appointment.

The service offered by the centres follows the launch of new Movano panel van in April, which introduced Vauxhall commercial vehicles into the heavy cab sector.

At the time, only two centres were operational but in the subsequent three months Vauxhall has expanded to over 100 sites giving the programme truly nationwide coverage.

Richard Collier, national commercial vehicle sales manager, said: “With a maximum gross weight of 4.5 tonnes, new Movano takes Vauxhall into different market territory and the new service support standards reflect that. The much wider choice of body styles, availability of both front and rear wheel drive, and more than 300 variants all add up to increased sales potential, especially into the fleet market.

Collier continued: “The standards set by Vauxhall for a Premier Service Centre are designed to meet the most demanding requirements of customers operating vans at these higher weights. Many will be professional transport operators for whom maintaining good vehicle availability and keeping service or repair downtime to a minimum is critical to the viability of their business.”
