A lowered floor minivan conversion should last many years and many kilometres when it is well maintained. But there are a few important tips to keep your van in great shape longer.  Service your vehicle per the schedule of the original equipment manufacturer (Chrysler, Toyota, Honda). In addition, be sure to have the conversion maintained – twice a year is recommended.

During the service appointment, the conversion components will be checked and parts will be replaced that show wear and tear. Moving parts will be lubricated to keep things running smoothly. It is also recommended to have your conversion rust-proofed once a year to stave off surface rust on conversion parts. If you live near salt water, it is especially important to rust proof your vehicle and store it inside whenever possible.
