Santee Van Repair, Maintenance & Custom Builds

Santee sits at the eastern end of Mission Gorge, where the San Diego River opens up into a broader valley and the Cuyamaca Mountains start coming into view. It is a city of outdoor-minded people who use the Santee Lakes for weekend relaxation and CA-67 for quick drives into the backcountry toward Ramona and Julian. Vanaholic is the shop for Santee van owners who want their builds done right. From Santee, take CA-67 north or I-8 west connecting to I-15 north, and you will reach OCRV Center at 23281 La Palma Ave in Yorba Linda, near Savi Ranch and Costco, in about 90 to 100 minutes. We serve Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, Express, Savana, and Rivian with the full menu: repair and maintenance, collision and paint, electrical and solar, suspension and tires, custom camper and overland conversions, commercial upfits, kits, and ADA conversions. Cuyamaca Rancho State Park and Anza-Borrego are right in Santee's eastern orbit. Request a Quote at info@vanaholic.com.

What Our Customers Say

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.

Sarah W.Sprinter 2500, Collision RepairPasadena, CA

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.

Tom L.Sprinter 2500, Electrical & SolarLong Beach, CA

I have 8 vans across my HVAC company. Vanaholic upfits all of them now. My techs are 30% more efficient because everything has a place. Highly recommended for fleet accounts.

FAQ

Santee Van Service FAQs

Yes. Santee is part of the East County San Diego area we regularly serve. Request a Quote at info@vanaholic.com and tell us about your van and what you need. We handle everything from quick repairs on Sprinter and Transit to full overland platform builds.
Take CA-67 to I-8 west and connect to I-15 north toward Yorba Linda. From Santee to OCRV Center on La Palma Ave near Savi Ranch and Costco is about 90 to 100 minutes. Early morning runs beat the LA basin traffic easily.
Cuyamaca Rancho is a great proving ground for any van build. We set up heating, insulation, lifted suspension, and all-terrain tires for exactly those conditions. Nights at 4,000 feet with no hookups are no problem when the build is done properly.
Yes. Chevy Express and GMC Savana are absolutely in our wheelhouse alongside Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster, and Rivian. Santee owners with older American-brand vans should reach out. We do everything from engine maintenance to custom camper builds on these platforms.
