Testimonials

Steve Calgary, ABI wanted a simple build done on my 2022 Transit and I got some very high quotes from other places. The other companies seemed like they weren't interested in wasting their time on me. Mike at Reliable quoted me a good price and was able to start in just a few weeks. I saved enough money to pay for my epic ski trip. Thanks.

Terry Vancouver, BCI wanted to order a Sprinter 4x4 from Mercedes and they told me it would be at least a year before it would arrive. I figured my plans for the next summer were shot. I called around and found Reliable had the exact van I wanted in stock and ready to go. Michael got it built out and my summer trip to Alaska was on.

Lisa Toronto, ONI didn't really know much about vanlife stuff originally, but I knew I was pretty sick of living in Toronto. I'm fully remote so I figured maybe it was time to explore until I found somewhere I wanted to settle. Michael didn't just help me plan my van, he helped me plan my first trip! Great experience and I'm still loving it.
