There is nothing worse than finding out that your van has broken down, especially if your day-to-day job is heavily reliant on it.
But try not to go into immediate crisis! If your van has broken down or even a non-runner, not all is lost yet, and you still have plenty of options left.
If your van has broken down, firstly you need to assess how quickly you need it fixed or replaced and how much you can afford to spend. If it’s a serious issue, then you may find that it’ll be quicker and cheaper to sell your van and replace it than it would be to repair it.
With that being said, find out some of the options you have available to you should your van break down when you least expect it.
Decide On the Problem With Your Van
The first thing you should do if your van won’t start is to try and find out the reason why. It could be something really simple, or it may need the professional eye of a mechanic to look over it.
Before having it towed to your local garage, do your research. At Sell My Broken Van, we know loads about vans and the common problems they have.
Take a look at our common faults pages on our website for more information on what you should look and listen out for depending on the make and model of your vehicle.
Is It Worth Repairing?
Once you’ve found out the problem with your broken van, now is the time to decide whether it’s worth repairing or not.
If you have a major issue with your van, then you may find that it’ll be more cost-effective to sell it and purchase yourself a new one. But if it’s just a small repair needed and you haven’t had any issues with your van previously, then repairing it may be the best option.
The main thing you should consider at this point is the costs of repairing it and, of course, the value of your van.
