Biggest Problems With Taking Your Sprinter Van To Repair Shops In Waco, Texas

October 23, 2018

Biggest Problems With Sprinter Repair Body Shops In Waco, Texas

As a Sprinter Van owner, you may be surprised to discover that most body shops are not designed to repair Sprinters. However, you also may be wondering why exactly that is.

One of the biggest reasons is pretty simple: repair shops do not have paint booths large enough to house Sprinter Vans. This is because of the height of the vehicles and the size of their wheelbases. So, if you take it to just any repair shop or truck repair shop, you’re likely not going to get the highest quality of paint.

Beyond that, Sprinter Vans require technicians that know the ins and outs of all Sprinter-types. Sprinter Vans are made by Mercedes Benz; however, companies, such as Dodge, use Mercedes’ original build to design Sprinter-types of their own.

You can compare Sprinter Vans to quite a few other vehicles, like the Ford Transit, but the biggest difference is in reliability, lifespan, and maintenance costs– with The Sprinter Van being more expensive, but also more dependable.

However, even with great reliability, Sprinter Vans have a few problems of their own. The first of which is a leaking air conditioning unit. It’s an incredibly common problem among Sprinter Vans, and in the past, it has even resulted in lawsuits here in the U.S.

The issue is often the result of the seal between the air conditioning unit and the roof being compromised during manufacturing. So, even if you’re in an incredibly arid environment, it’s not uncommon to experience issues with condensation and drainage.

The second problem is rusting. One of the most common things you’ll run into online are posts about rust on Sprinter Vans. When this problem occurs, it’s often the result of an improper coating during the manufacturing process. Occasionally, there have also been reports of Sprinter Vans having no clear-coat on them at all. However, the rusting also often occurs around windows and roofs.

The Sprinter Center performs quick and efficient diagnostics and repair on Sprinter Vans.

The Sprinter Center has a team of highly trained professionals who specialize in repairing, modifying, and converting Sprinter Vans and other large vehicles. We have stations designed specifically for larger vehicles and offer quick and efficient work like nowhere else in Dallas, TX.
