This will vary significantly depending on the base vehicles that you require. We carry hundreds of base vehicles in stock and many of our most popular standard models can be delivered within four weeks. Vehicles requiring bespoke features may take longer and we will agree on a delivery schedule with you. Base vehicles that require a factory order typically take twelve to sixteen weeks to arrive on-site with Allied. This is the same for all OE manufactures and converters.

Base vehicle servicing can be arranged at any manufacturer-approved dealer or internal workshop. Servicing can also be conducted at any other VAT-approved garage, though we recommend using approved dealers/workshops and genuine parts in order to ensure your vehicle remains in warranty for the duration of your cover. Servicing of specialist components, such as wheelchair access ramps or tail lifts, can be carried out at your own workshops, following the manufacturer’s recommendations or we can arrange for a specialist servicing contract to meet your particular needs.

All new vehicles carry the base vehicle manufacturer’s standard warranty cover. It may be possible to extend this, for a price, should you wish. Conversion components are all covered for a minimum of one year, with unlimited mileage. Again, this may be extended on request.

Allied Vehicles Group is a RAC Approved Dealer, which means our used vehicles are prepared to a high standard and come with a full year RAC warranty and breakdown cover.
