What moves the price
- Van size — a large panel van holds more oil and needs dearer filters than a small car-derived van
- Minor or major — a major van service adds air, fuel and cabin filters and deeper inspections
- Dealer or independent — franchised van dealers charge more but handle warranty updates and recalls
- Service schedule — long-life servicing means fewer visits, but each van service can cost more
- Extra items — wipers, bulbs, AdBlue and brake wear found during the service are added on
- Downtime — servicing the van at your yard or after hours keeps it earning but costs extra
Vehicle maintenance prices in the UK are up 38% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Maintenance and repairs, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical van servicing would have cost about £180 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7ED →

How to pay less
- Book the van service and MOT together to cut the time the van is off the road
- Compare an independent garage with the dealer once the van is out of warranty
- Look at a fixed-price service plan if the van covers high mileage each year
Before you book
- Check whether the van service quote includes VAT, as most are quoted before it for businesses
- Ask for the list of items in the service due at your van's mileage
- Arrange a courtesy van or plan the day, as a major van service takes several hours
- Ask the garage to call before carrying out any extra repairs on the van
