In the workshop

Posted on Thursday, 21 September, 2017 by Paul

Our customer Simon came to us recently with his tired looking U1250, we completely stripped the Unimog back and gave it a fresh look. We carried out a cab replacement, you can see in the image above the cab being removed ready to be stripped and all interior parts transferred to the new cab. Keep an eye on our projects section as this will likely feature on there in the coming weeks.

William and Oliver exchanged numerous phone calls with us about a U1000 we were brokering, they both relied solely on our own personal recommendations and advice for the purchase of this Unimog, purchasing it without seeing the vehicle. We were glad to give them such confidence in buying from us, we carried out the necessary repairs required in our workshop and set the Unimog off on its journey to them to be put to work.

Our customer Lee came to us recently looking to purchase a Unimog to convert into a camper, after sitting down with Lee and showing him the different models that would be best suited to be converted he settled on a ex German Military U1300L, we are currently in the process of carrying out all necessary repairs and extended the cab for extra storage space making the Unimog more of a 'King' cab size.

Our customer Terry from New Zealand recently purchased a U1300L camper that we were brokering, the Unimog is currently in the workshop and we are carrying out a few minor repairs before converting the Unimog from left hand drive to right hand drive ready for shipping to New Zealand.

Lars-Erik Bammis Ohlsson

When I bought my U1000 “Rustbucket” , Simon gave me a fair & frank appraisal of its condition. The mog was cleaned and shipped professionally with no issues upon landing here in Australia. Since then, AV has provided me with excellent spares support and the occasional bit of advice. Posting was always prompt and economical via Royal Mail – this has taken a lot of the pain out of restoration. Highly recommended.

Atkinson Vos not only supplied my Unimog some years ago but they have been ever present when I needed any advice or assistance. My Unimog recently underwent a full refurbishment in their workshop and I have to say the result has been nothing short of superb. My Moggy is not only in great mechanical shape but it looks great too. Top marks Atkinson Vos.

James Mc Donnell, Ireland

Whenever I drive my MOG on to their yard, I have a feeling of excitement about the opportunities for upgrade and improvement that Atkinson Vos offers. Anything is possible, and everything is done to a very high standard!. Atkinson Vos prepared my Unimog to an excellent standard. Their aftersales service is great too.

We have been using Atkinson Vos for a number of years now, they have carried out some upgrades and all servicing and repairs, their staff are friendly and always willing to help. The workshop guys always offer advice and easy fix solutions over the phone and on the odd occasion visited our workshop to view and inspect the vehicle. I would not hesitate to recommend the company, Thanks to all the staff.

Mike Greenberg

"We have always prided ourselves with finding the best qualified people available, be they doctors, lawyers, engineers, or whomever. We applied the same process to finding our dream Mog Expedition Camper and have not been disappointed with Atkinson Vos. Paul and Emma both have done superb jobs answering our many questions and leading us through the purchasing / export / import process. Based on their performance to date, we are confident Atkinson Vos support will be there in the future where ever our travels may take us.”

Mary & J R Argo

"Atkinson Vos are the absolute experts on UNIMOGS in my opinion. They offer wonderful advice apart from sourcing spares and thereby make things so much easier" "I would go to them rather than any German supplier for my UNIMOGS. All put together, it's the best package deal." "Simon and Frank are passionate in what they do and men of their word. That's what I think sets them apart. They have literally turned me into a Unimog addict."
