Nationwide Vehicle Assistance (NWVA) is looking to expand the client base for its ONSITE mobile repair service through a new business development programme.

The ONSITE service has been helping some of the largest fleets in the UK save tens of thousands of pounds per year for more five years, according to NWVA.

Billed as one of the fleet repair industry’s “best kept secrets”, ONSITE promises to drastically reduce VOR time by delivering a mobile repair service when and where it suits the client and critically, without impacting on driver downtime and customer service.

NWVA says this eliminates the need to secure costly and timely workshop capacity from static dealer workshops or independent service centres.

Mick Jennings, NWVA’s managing director, said: “It’s a unique service for our fleet clients and one we are keen to extend to other fleets around the UK. We are proud to be able to employ some of the best technicians in the country - experienced professionals who are trained to find a semi-permanent repair solution to any vehicle damage situation, rather than taking the vehicle out of service.

The savings we can provide fleet managers are immense and we are looking to increase our customer base to enable more businesses to benefit from the ONSITE service.”

Callum Langan, sopp+sopp commercial directorm added: “sopp+sopp’s integrated partnership with NWVA provides a 24/7 On-Site service to our customers and has delivered significant reductions in driver and vehicle downtime. Feedback from our customers has been very positive commenting that the On-site service not only controls costs but significantly reduces vehicle downtime and the need to hire replacement vehicles which enables their own fleet to continue providing high levels of service and on-time deliveries to their customers. Everyone benefits from this service and we are delighted to be working with NWVA to deliver the advantages to our customers.”

The ONSITE service is available across the UK (and in Europe too) and fulfilled by a network of technicians, who operate a fully equipped mobile workshop.
