Hermiston Motor Company have fully qualified and experienced staff that can supply and fit brakes for all van makes and models at competitive prices.

It is essential for your van to have the brakes in their full working order. This can range from disk brakes, disk pads, brake callipers and also brake pipes.

Are your brakes in working order?

When your brakes have a problem, common signs include:

• Brake juddering when applied
• A grinding noise when brakes applied
• A high, hard brake pedal
• Rear wheels locking upon braking
• A squealing or grinding noise when braking
• If the vehicle pulls to one side when braking
• A loss of efficiency during heavy braking or on a long descent
• A general grinding noise when driving

You may not be aware that over 10% of air con gas permeates from the air con system every year.

This means that it may not work as well as it should. This service is not part of routine vehicle servicing, so if your van is more than 2 years old, it’s probably due for a recharge.

Your van’s suspension is a vital safety issue for your vehicle.

Worn van shock absorbers not only reduce driver comfort, but they can also dramatically affect the handling and safety of your van.

Worn suspension components may also cause an irritating knocking noise.

At Hermiston Motor Company, we can carry out most types of diagnostics on your van.

All vans are now fitted with computers and a myriad of technology to run and monitor the internal workings of the vehicle. One of the most important functions these computers provide is ensuring your van is operating within the manufacturers parameters; the engine, safety systems (ABS, Anti-Slip etc.) are all operating correctly and safely. Most people usually only become aware of the functions of these computers when one of the fault warning indicators illuminates on the dashboard.

We carry an extensive range of van batteries, which are available to be fitted while you wait. Ranging from a 3 year, 4 year & 5 year warranty.
