Default Vehicles

Just out of interest what vehicle do you use for your business?
Have you had any problems with it?
Have you got signs on it? if so dose it help you get work?

I have a Vauxhall combo van, plenty big enough. Customers have Bathroom suites etc delivered and councils take old suites away for small fee. I have a simple sign/logo on van, had a few calls from this.

Before taking a break from plumbing i used to run either my nissan skyline, BMW or my evo.
If you want business you gotta make a statement.

No doubt if there is any north east guys on here they'd have heard about it lol

But you can only fit a pair of spanners and an olive in the back though !

I like the look of the Citreon Dispatch size wize, but have a vauxhall combo myself.

when i started up i got a vauxhall vivaro. Plenty big enough for everything. As a lot of my work is bathroom refits, is big enough for a suite, all the rubbish that you rip out and some stock to save you always running to the merchants. All signwritten, and have got a couple of leads from people seeing the van. A big thing is the professionalism that it portrays though- priceless!
