“Their experience and passion was immediately evident. They are both super knowledgeable, and their insights throughout the design and build process made things even better than expected. The final build quality and attention to detail is amazing, and you can totally tell that they care a lot about their work and want it to be the best possible. I’m so happy I went with Vanovation”

+ How long does conversion take?
Vans
Our Base Package conversion takes roughly 4 months on a Sprinter 144 / Promaster 136 Transit MWB. Larger vehicles, custom design/layout, and bespoke services will add to the build time.
School buses
Completing a bespoke skoolie conversion will take roughly 4-6 months. This can vary depending on the designs our specialists will help you to create. Additionally, because buses are such large vehicles, we are limited in the number of conversions we can take on at once.
To get a more accurate idea of lead times on your project, please feel free to drop us a line at info@vanovation.ca and one of the team will follow up with you.

Yes we do!
