The Vans We Know Inside and Out
The conversion shops build beautiful interiors — but most won't touch the engine, the diesel system, or a hard electrical gremlin, and the dealer is expensive and backed up. That's exactly the work we do. If it's a van and it's broken, bring it here.
Mercedes Sprinter (incl. 1st-gen T1N)
The old T1N and OM-series diesel Sprinters are our specialty — limp mode, hard starts, glow plugs, turbo & EGR, the problems dealers barely support anymore. New Sprinters too.
VW Bus & Vanagon
Air-cooled and water-cooled VW buses and Vanagons — the "won't start when hot," overheating and stalling gremlins other shops give up on. We track them down.
Camper Vans & Conversions
Bought a converted van and something's wrong under the shiny build? We service the chassis, engine, diesel and wiring the upfitter left behind.
Class-B RVs & Motorhomes
Sprinter- and diesel-chassis RVs — engine, drivetrain, brakes, and the house electrical/solar side too. Get your rig road-ready before the trip.
Big Diesel Trucks & Fleets
Heavy-duty diesel, forklifts and work trucks — CARB Clean Truck Check, DOT-style inspections, and full mechanical repair.
Old Mercedes Diesels
Vintage and modern Mercedes diesels — 40 years of hands-on Mercedes and diesel experience under one roof.
What We Fix on Vans & RVs
Real diagnostics from a master technician — not guesswork, and not "we don't work on those."
Diesel Engine & Diagnostics
Limp mode, loss of power, no-starts, overheating, glow plugs, turbo and EGR issues — we find the real cause and fix it.
DEF / Bluetec / AdBlue Repair
Emissions faults, DEF-system and AdBlue warnings, and check-engine limp-mode on diesel Sprinters — properly diagnosed and legally repaired.
Electrical & Solar Troubleshooting
House batteries, inverters, alternator charging, solar and wiring gremlins in vans and RVs — including problems left behind by a conversion.
Suspension & Sway Control
Sway bars, upgraded shocks and stability kits to cut body roll and Sprinter "sway" — a smoother, safer, better-handling van.
Brakes, A/C & Maintenance
Full service, brakes, A/C, cooling and factory-interval maintenance to keep your van reliable for the long haul.
Accessories & Light Bars
Light bar and accessory installs, plus general upgrades — done right and wired cleanly.
Pre-Purchase Van Inspections
Thinking of buying a used Sprinter or camper van? We'll inspect it first and tell you straight what it needs — before you spend the money.
