When you own a van, you quickly realise just how complex they are. Modern vehicles are no longer purely mechanical — they are at least partially controlled by onboard computers. In fact, some vans are now managed entirely by a single central processing system.
At Pace Van Hire, we have the advanced equipment needed to diagnose your van and interpret any potential issues or error codes. If you’re not confident when it comes to engine diagnostics, there’s no need to worry — we’ll handle everything for you.
With over 20 years of experience, our team has the skills and expertise to identify and resolve any faults, giving you complete peace of mind about the condition of your vehicle.
