In the event of breakdown
In the event of breakdown, all the vans have full AA cover. They each carry comprehensive service kits to aid the AA. Our vans are not only covered by the AA – they are also covered by Paul and Dave's years of experience and knowledge of VW vehicles which means that they can fix most things on call. In the unlikely event that your van needs to be brought back to our workshop, we have a spare van available. Our aim is to get you back on the road in your original van as soon as is humanly possible. Having said all this, the boys are regularly giving the vans lots of TLC so the vans can just keep on pootling.
