Van Repair & Custom Van Builds in San Marcos, CA
San Marcos has grown fast over the last two decades, spreading across the hills north of Escondido with Cal State San Marcos anchoring a young, active community and the Discovery Lake corridor offering quick trail access. For van owners in neighborhoods like Twin Oaks Valley and The Crossings, the connection to serious off-road terrain is real: Palomar Mountain, Cleveland National Forest, and Anza-Borrego Desert State Park are all within a reasonable drive. Getting to Vanaholic means hopping on CA-78 west to I-15 north, then up through Temecula and the Inland Empire to OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave, Yorba Linda, right next to Savi Ranch and Costco, about 90 minutes away. We build and service Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian vans with repair, electrical and solar, suspension and tires, custom camper conversions, collision and paint, commercial upfits, kits, and ADA builds.

What Our Customers Say
Vanaholic built our dream adventure van from scratch. The attention to detail is unreal - every system works flawlessly two years later. The team listened to what we actually needed and didn't try to upsell us on anything.
1500W of solar, 800Ah lithium, full off-grid for weeks. Took my family to Baja for a month and never once worried about power or water. The electrical work is concourse-level.
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.
