The Harwoods Truck and Van Centre in Portsmouth offers maintenance for commercial fleet operators from Dorset to south Hampshire and West Sussex.

Harwoods Group has invested in workshop facilities to bring the latest automotive equipment to the new Portsmouth centre and, as a result, the new HGV and van repair shop can handle every type of mechanical repair work.

At Harwoods Group, comprehensive staff training has always been of utmost importance. As a result, the centre's technicians have complete expertise enabling them to maintain and repair any make, type or model of truck or van to the most exacting standards possible. Experienced experts can diagnose faults quickly; in addition, they'll source and fit quality genuine manufacturer parts to ensure the integrity of every repair.

At this new Portsmouth site, you can expect the same quality service levels as found previously at Fareham. There are two staff shifts stretching from 7am to 10pm, reducing downtime ensuring your trucks or vans are back where they belong on the road in the shortest possible time period.

"In addition to servicing and repairing any make and model of HGV and Van, our team can provide maintenance and warranty work for MAN trucks and light commercial vehicles, including the highly popular MAN TGE van offering more for your money.

“We see our all-new centre as a stepping stone to the creation of a fully franchised MAN site while continuing to provide servicing and repairs for all-makes, too," says Darren Wiles, Head of Business at Harwoods Truck and Van Centre.

"While we currently are not able to offer MOTs or tachometer testing, we can arrange for this work to be undertaken through trusted providers with whom we have long-established relationships."

Harwoods has closed its Fareham commercial vehicle centre to bring its extensive range of services closer to the large Portsmouth city market. However, there is also a Harwood site in Hamble where the technicians and engineering team can undertake PET Reg testing and repair on petrol tanker fleets.

Darren adds: "This investment by Harwoods has allowed us to expand our commercial servicing operation in Hampshire. As a result, we have a much larger vehicle park than was previously available at our old Fareham site. "

The new Harwoods Truck and Van Centre is at 40 Alchorne Place, Portsmouth PO3 5QL, ideally located for commercial vehicle fleet operators right along the South Coast and much of the south of England. Call 02392 808 853 to find out more.
