Customer Testimonials
Anybody wanting any work done in the Somerset area, l can thoroughly recommend The Van Cave. I came across Chris on T6forum.com and he was local to me as I live in Yeovil. Thought I would give him ago at a few mods I had planned for my van. Can’t recommend Chris enough. My van is almost where I want it to be with only a bed to sort out now. Chris has helped me out with the following: Fitted new THQ headlights at the same time as gloss black grilles. Fitted 240v electrics along with DC-DC chargers etc with solar capability. Fully sound deadened and insulated. Fitted downlighters and halo plus multi colour option LED Strip Light. Replaced rear headlining with one piece and fully relined all roof panels plus A & B pillars with suede. Fitted touch to turn on down lighters to tailgate. Fitted USB sockets in the rear. Fitted adjustable H&R coil overs. Got mirror surrounds sprayed gloss black. Upgraded my leisure battery. Fitted awning rail which he got powder coated satin black. He also supplied me with the most gorgeous set of Inovit Rotor wheels in custom gloss black powder coat. I’m sure there are a few other things I have missed out. Chris has been so knowledgeable and helpful throughout the whole process, can’t thank him enough. Give him a try, you won’t be disappointed.
Excellent service and advice! Recently had new suspension, wheels and bodywork done… My van now looks and drives awesome!
Visited Chris yesterday at The Van Cave to have ST-X Coil-overs & Wheel Spacers fitted. So happy with the work done: Friendly, informative and for me the biggest thing, I had total trust in Chris which is so, so important. Van felt so good driving home!! Will definitely be using Van Cave for all my future modifications. Thanks Chris!!
Paid my first visit to Chris at The Van Cave this weekend for some slight tweaks on my stance. Chris is professional in every aspect of his work with good communication prior to my visit to discuss the best approach. I’ve owned Transporters for the last 15 years and used many different garages but none have had the passion for vans like Chris does. I’ll certainly be using the Van Cave for any future work I need doing.
Chris offered me fantastic independent advice even when he knew I wouldn’t be travelling to him to have the work carried out on my van (too far from me). If I was a little closer, the van cave would certainly be my first choice. Thanks so much for your time and invaluable knowledge Chris.
