From Transit, Sprinter, Crafter and Vivaro vans to Lutons, dropsides, tippers, tail lift vans and low loaders, we help with diesel diagnostics, servicing and major mechanical repairs for working vehicles across Birmingham and the West Midlands.
Commercial vehicles work harder than normal cars.
They carry weight, stop and start all day, sit idling, do motorway miles, short trips and heavy-duty work. That means clutches, brakes, suspension, DPF systems, turbos and engines often take more punishment — and they need a workshop that's set up for that kind of work.
We're an independent diesel van specialist serving Birmingham and the West Midlands — Van Specialist Oldbury, Van Specialist Birmingham, Diesel Van Specialist and Commercial Vehicle Specialist work across the most common platforms. We have dedicated specialist pages for the Ford Transit Specialist, Mercedes Sprinter Specialist, VW Crafter Specialist, VW Transporter Specialist, Vauxhall Vivaro Specialist, Renault Trafic Specialist, Fiat Ducato Specialist, Peugeot Boxer Specialist, Citroën Relay Specialist and Iveco Daily Specialist.

Specialist commercial vehicles often have added systems and extra weight. We can help with mechanical and electrical fault diagnosis where appropriate — including hydraulic tail lift solenoid and motor faults, dropside latch mechanisms, and tipper hydraulics.
LOLER and statutory examinations.
Statutory LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998) thorough examinations and certified lift inspections must be carried out by a competent certified provider. Unless we confirm otherwise in writing, we do not provide statutory LOLER certification — we are a diesel mechanical workshop. We will diagnose mechanical and electrical faults and advise; for certification, you'll need a competent person under LOLER.
We help local businesses keep vans moving — diagnostics, servicing, major repairs, and clear written quotes for sign-off. Fleet customers get the same approach as everyone else: photos, written quotes, no surprises.
Turnaround depends on parts availability and workshop loading — we'll quote a realistic timeline before you commit.
