Van Repair & Custom Van Builds in Santa Monica, CA
Santa Monica runs on beach energy, and the van crew here tends to mix long PCH drives with weekend runs to Topanga State Park and Leo Carrillo, where a well-built camper van earns its keep under the coastal oaks. The I-10 east out of Santa Monica is the direct shot to Yorba Linda, running through the basin toward the 57 and dropping you at our OCRV Center shop on La Palma Ave near Savi Ranch in roughly 50 to 65 minutes depending on time of day. The Montana Avenue and Ocean Park neighborhoods are full of people who want a van that looks good in the company parking lot and performs on a fireroad above Malibu. We build and service Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian vans, covering custom overland and camper conversions, solar and electrical, suspension and tires, collision and paint, commercial upfits, and ADA builds.

What Our Customers Say
I run a mobile coffee business and Vanaholic built my van around my exact workflow. They handled health-code compliance, the espresso machine power, refrigeration - I just hit go on day one. Best ROI I've ever made.
I had an existing build with a sketchy electrical system. Vanaholic redid the whole thing with Victron, Battle Born, and proper safety. Now I have peace of mind and full off-grid capability.
Insurance claim after a parking lot accident. Vanaholic handled everything with my insurance company, gave me a loaner, and the van came back better than new. Couldn't tell anything ever happened.
