If you’re in the market for a quality used van then there’s an expert team you can call upon.
Whilst Hertfordshire based All Van Sales might be a relatively new concern, it’s fair to say that the people behind it already know a thing or two about commercial vehicles. The well-established parent company, WS Coachworks was founded by Stuart Sommerville more than three decades ago. Today, his son Mark Sommerville is the Director of a thriving business that specialises in a full range of repairs, servicing and bodybuilding.
It’s that pedigree that has allowed All Vans Sales to enter the market with a dependable and knowledgeable proposition, as Sales Director, Stephen Burnell explains: “We wanted to establish a reputation for reliability from the outset so we’re currently stocking vehicles with low mileages. The oldest van we have available is, in fact, a 2020 plate. There’s an extensive range of models from the leading brands, and the medium-sized vans, such as the Ford Transit Custom, and Renault Trafic are proving particularly popular. Perhaps most importantly we’ve brought our workshop expertise into play to make sure they are in the best possible condition.”
The inspection process is, indeed, thorough, with a full report on each vehicle undertaken upon arrival. An in house paint shop can be utilised whilst any body parts, such as bumpers and wing mirrors will be replaced. “We have the facilities here to make a van look brand new,” enthuses Workshop Quality Control Manager, Sam Galway. “We always use genuine OEM parts, and the vehicle will enjoy a service and MOT before the client takes delivery. We want to attract the owner/operator who will be driving the van themselves and not necessarily giving it to one of his employees. We’d always recommend that any prospective buyer test drivers the vehicles because that will demonstrate the quality.”
A confident investment
With those procedures in place, All Vans Sales can offer a free 12-month Autoguard Warranty. Moreover, the firm is now an approved AA dealer through that organisation’s AA Dealer Promise. It’s an initiative that offers the buyer a level of confidence in knowing that the seller is required to commit to a set of standards.
“We’re specifically targeting small businesses and tradespeople with anything up to five vans,” continues Stephen. “We’re an SME ourselves and understand that, for a local jobbing builder, this is the biggest investment they will make in their business, and we want them to be able to do it with peace of mind. Our team can offer a personal service with a single point of contact and, because we have the workshop on site, we can resolve any issues quickly, and offer service plans. There’s a hassle free part exchange facility in place, and we refer our clients to an established and trusted broker. In addition, we’re in the process of achieving FCA accreditation in order to provide a full range of finance options ourselves.”
Right for the job
Not only that, but All Van Sales customers can drive away in a vehicle that is equipped for their trade, with racking, roof & ladder racks, beacons, interior lights and much more all added by the team at the Welham Green facility. With tool theft and van break ins now a constant threat for builders, additional security can also be specified, including the full range of Armaplate solutions.
Whatever trusty workhorse you’re looking for, as the name would suggest, All Van Sales has an answer.
