Bodyshops Vehicle Leasing

Our Top Vehicle Options for Bodyshops:

Bodyshop operations depend on vehicles that can move tools, panels and supplies safely — or act as mobile workshops for on-site repairs. Below are Willow Leasing’s top choices for the sector.

Ford Transit Custom

The Ford Transit Custom is the most popular choice for bodyshop logistics and mobile repair work. With payloads up to 1,400 kg and load volumes of 6.8 m³, it’s ideal for carrying bumpers, panels, tools and paint equipment. The E-Transit Custom electric model provides the same practicality with zero tailpipe emissions, ideal for city-centre operations.

Volkswagen Transporter T6.1 /T7

A premium choice for bodyshops that value brand presentation and quality. With a payload of up to 1,200 kg, refined driving dynamics and a comfortable cabin, the Transporter suits paint suppliers, mobile detailers and repair specialists visiting trade partners.

Mercedes-Benz Vito / eVito

For bodyshops handling client collections or high-end fleet repairs, the Vito offers comfort and sophistication. With its premium interior, strong reliability and optional electric eVito variant (range up to 162 miles), it’s a great choice for courtesy-vehicle or delivery roles.

Benefits of Leasing a Vehicle:

Preserve Your Cash Flow

Buying a new car or van outright ties up thousands of pounds that could be better invested elsewhere. With Willow Leasing, you pay a predictable fixed monthly cost and a small initial rental — freeing up working capital for tools, marketing, stock or staff.

• For businesses: Protect liquidity and keep borrowing power available for growth.

• For individuals: Enjoy a new vehicle without the strain of a large upfront payment.

Always Drive the Latest Model

Leasing keeps you in a new, warranty-protected vehicle every few years — meaning:

• Better fuel economy and lower emissions.

• The latest safety technology (ADAS, lane assist, collision avoidance).

• Access to the newest electric and hybrid vehicles without long-term commitment.

For businesses, a modern fleet projects reliability and professionalism; for personal drivers, it means safety and comfort at all times.

Tax Efficiency & VAT Benefits

Leasing is one of the most tax-efficient ways for a UK business to operate vehicles.

• Business Contract Hire (BCH): Up to 100 % of the lease rentals can often be offset against corporation tax if the vehicle is used exclusively for business.

• VAT recovery: Reclaim up to 50 % of VAT on car leases and 100 % of VAT on van leases (subject to business use).

• No asset on your balance sheet: Leasing keeps your business agile and debt-light — a key advantage when tendering or seeking finance.

Flexible Terms & Tailored Solutions

Every Willow lease can be configured to your needs:

• Choose contract lengths from 24 – 60 months.

• Select mileage allowances that fit your actual usage.

• Add maintenance, breakdown cover, or GAP insurance.

• Combine multiple vehicles under one fleet arrangement.

This flexibility makes Willow Leasing equally suited to sole traders, SMEs and corporate fleets.
