Yama Vans Becomes Mercedes-Benz Expert Upfitter

Earlier this year, we joined the really cool kids' club.

Well, we joined an exclusive group of esteemed builders and manufacturers who are certified by the automotive manufacturing mogul, Mercedes-Benz. Yama Vans has officially become Alberta's only certified Mercedes-Benz Adventure Van Expert Upfitter - and the only one in Canada who works exclusively on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. This prestigious certification isn't just a shiny badge on our wall (though we like that part, too); it's a testament to our relentless pursuit of perfection in every van we build and every client experience we deliver. We're here to tell you all about it - most importantly how it benefits you, our clients and clients-to-be.

What is the Mercedes-Benz Expert Upfitter Program?

The Mercedes-Benz Expert Upfitter program is an exclusive certification awarded to select upfitters who meet Mercedes-Benz's stringent standards across multiple areas - quality, engineering, technology, sales, and after-sales service. This program identifies top upfitters, giving customers the confidence that both the craftsmanship of their vehicle and the support they receive are unmatched.

Benefits of Working With an Expert Upfitter

Working with an Expert Upfitter like Yama Vans on your custom adventure van means choosing quality, reliability, and peace of mind. Here's what you can expect:

1. Seamless Upfit and Chassis Integration: As a certified Expert Upfitter, we have exclusive access to proprietary technical information from Mercedes-Benz and direct support from their engineers. This privileged access ensures that every aspect of your upfit is seamlessly integrated with the Sprinter chassis, meeting the highest standards for performance and compatibility.

2. Peace of Mind with Certified Quality: This official stamp of approval from Mercedes-Benz means that our modifications and installations meet their rigorous standards, ensuring your vehicle remains safe, reliable, and of the highest quality. Every part of our process - from product quality and engineering to after-sales service - has been Mercedes-Benz approved. Rest assured, your van is built to the highest specifications, start to finish.

3. THE BIG ONE: Delayed Warranty Start and Enhanced Warranty Protection: Now, this is where it gets really exciting: the delayed warranty start and extended warranty coverage. For Yama Vans, Mercedes-Benz offers a delayed start on your van's warranty, which kicks in when your Yama Vans upfit is complete. This is a HUGE benefit. Typically, warranty periods start when the van leaves the dealership, so by the time your upfit is complete, part of your coverage period has already ticked away. With Yama Vans, both your Sprinter and the work completed by us are covered from the day your adventure van is ready to roll.

And there's even more good news. Yama Vans now matches Mercedes-Benz's three-year/60,000 km (36,000 mi) limited warranty on your Sprinter, extending the same coverage to our work - from engine to upfit, you're fully protected. Plus, our Client Experience Team is here to make sure you receive exceptional service whenever you need it.
