Looking for a reliable/professional shop in SoCal/Southern AZ area to help with some critical conversion repairs.
A little over 2 years ago a full time van lifer's worst nightmare manifested for me: my brand new 4x4 MB Sprinter Van was absolutely BUTCHERED by the most incompetent morons in the biz. Therefore, I'm now in the unenviable position of needing to gut a good percentage of my finished van and have it re-built...only RIGHT this time around. I won't bore you all with the litany of issues I've had (from day one)...but the most recent (and critical) is not one but FOUR leaking 10x36 slider windows. Luckily, I've managed to mitigate the water damage so far (mainly by driving from NorCal to SoCal) but my $85K conversion is currently in great peril. Yes, you read that correctly...my van is tricked out to the max...racks, bumpers, winch, lift, etc. After doing thorough research I thought I had made a sensible choice in choosing a business to execute my more advanced custom design...but I couldn't have been more wrong. Warranty? Yeah, right! Against my gut instincts I brought my van back and trusted it with these fools ONCE (in the very beginning) but after wasting days of my time they (once again) proved unable to construct even a functional slider/storage tray. Sad but true my friends. So, basically I'm screwed...and will likely be paying out of pocket to get things sorted out. Who knows though...a lawsuit may be coming.
As I mentioned: the windows are my main concern currently...but since the rear of the van is going to have to be gutted in order to even reach the windows I figured I should get a bunch of other things sorted out as well (like the battery box with ZERO access...the water box design which creates 3+ hours of labor just to reach the water pump for adjustment...etc).
Got any leads for me? The PLEASE by all means hit me up! And did I mention this van is also my full time home/work office? I'm in a real messed up spot folks so any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
