Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is offering free servicing on all models purchased from its finance arm Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle Financial Services from now until 1 October.
Two free services are provided with all Caddy, Transporter and Amarok models, including Transporter-based derivatives such as the Caravelle people carrier and California campervan.
The offer includes one interim and one full service, which can cover customers across two years and 20,000 miles of routine servicing.
It is also offering four free services on Crafter, building on the Crafter’s two free service launch offer announced earlier this year.
For customers looking to purchase a used van on finance between now and 1 October, two services for £99 (plus VAT) are available.
The group is also offering free access to its Driveline programme, a 24-hour phone line, available which provides assistance in booking services, ordering new tyres, arranging glass repairs and providing breakdown and recovery services.
Free servicing is a means of building sales and customer loyalty. Earlier this year SsangYong announced that its dealer network was offering three years free servicing on new cars.
The deal, funded by SsangYong Motor UK, covered Tivoli, Korando, Rexton and Turismo models and is transferrable to subsequent owners.
