Bright Future for Commercial Vehicles in Brisbane

Interesting news in the commercial vehicle market just recently, with the announcement that Ford and Volkswagen are joining forces. The two major marques will work together on designing and manufacturing commercial vehicles, with the results set to hit the market in 2022.

Ford is to produce a medium-sized pick-up for both companies, plus a larger commercial van for European customers.  It is also believed that Ford will develop the next VW Amarok and the Ford Ranger, plus a possible new VW Transit van. A smaller Ford-badged commercial vehicle could also be on the cards. There is also talk of Ford and VW collaborating on other vehicles, including electric and autonomous.

Commercial Vehicle Services

What does this mean for customers seeking commercial vehicle services? As far as I can see, the news is all good, as the partnership is likely to lead to advanced engineering and more choice. As far as servicing and repairs go, these vehicles will best be cared for by European vehicle specialists.

Currently, commercial vehicles in Brisbane and on the Sunshine Coast have easy access to European vehicle specialists, in the form of SVS Autocare. Choosing a specialist service centre makes good financial sense, as it is generally cheaper than returning to the dealership.

In addition, the mechanics are specifically trained on European vehicles and have access to the latest diagnostic tools.  These means they can find and fix any problems quicker, getting your commercial vehicle back on the road where it needs to be.

Commercial vehicles in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast should be serviced regularly to ensure they meet all legal requirements; the penalties for breeching these laws are serious and could see your vehicle taken off the road. It goes without saying that would be a disaster for any business relying on its commercial vehicles.

Regularly servicing also ensures the best performance and fuel economy and helps avoid breakdowns.

Time Advice on BMW Car Repair and Servicing

As the race to manufacture the best sustainable transportation continues, BMW and Porsche were in the spotlight in December. The two prestige marques unveiled a new Electric Vehicle (EV) charging station that can power a vehicle in under three minutes to travel 100km.

Fast charging is considered a key factor in making the EV market a success. Surveys show that customers are accepting of the vehicles themselves but worry about charging durations and running out of power on long journeys.

BMW announced in November 2018 that it was ready to start rolling out its new EVs. An electric two-door mini is scheduled for release in 2019, followed by an electric version of the X3 SUV in 2020.

 

BMW Specialist

Technology has always been a strong point for BMW, making it one of the most popular cars on the road. But with state-of-the-art technology comes the need for a BMW specialist to care for your vehicle.

You’ll see many a BMW on the Sunshine Coast, from executive coupes to family-friendly SUVs. And whilst you may pay a hefty amount for your vehicle, the good news is that you can save on car servicing and maintenance.

The fact is, when you need a BMW car repair or service, you don’t need to return the vehicle to the dealership where you bought it.

BMW Car Repair

For years drivers believed that their warranty would become void if they took their BMW anywhere else. However, an update on what the warranty laws really mean is saving drivers a bundle.

Under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, vehicle manufacturers may not attach conditions that restrict the buyer’s freedom of choice. This means they cannot specify where you get your car serviced. Nor can they void your warranty because you had your vehicle serviced outside the dealership.

You must, however, take the vehicle to a registered qualified mechanic for BMW car repair and servicing.
