Customer Testimonial.

I have been doing business with Atkinson Vos for 11 years. This has been during my 30-year experience of running large-high-mobility all-wheel-drive vehicles throughout Europe, Africa and South America.

I've run medium weight 4x4 trucks across the African continent, and giant 6x6 and 8x8 trucks in rally raids and Dakar Rallies. In this time I've also motorcycled through every US state, twice, all over Europe, through China and have snowmobiled through the Arctic. With all this experience in mind may I please speak very highly of Atkinson Vos?

The most important point I would make about Atkinson Vos is that they are innovators. Innovation takes vision, risk, expense, trial and development. I have always been impressed by Atkinson Vos' innovation. It's incredible, really, and something I have always been happy to work with Atkinson Vos for, sensibly, as an understanding customer getting uniquely ideal products that are great deals.

Next I must speak of Atkinson Vos' fabulous facilities. They are equipped, resourced and connected for all purposes. I've never ceased to be amazed by how casually Atkinson Vos can sort the most unimaginably tedious and impossible challenges, promptly and easily, relieving customers of unbearable stress!

Meanwhile I have no idea how Atkinson Vos keeps its pricing so low. Comprehensive facilities, innovation and thorough staffing (which I have yet to mention) is, as we know, awfully expensive. How do they do it? I really do not know!

So now to the staff. What a team! What a fabulous family-feel, conscientious and outcome-serving team they are. I am so grateful to them for all my experiences doing business with Atkinson Vos.

Thank you very much.

I recommend Atkinson Vos very highly!

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.

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.

Casper Hanekamp

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.

"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.”

"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."

Solomon Benjamin

"We first met with with Atkinson Vos at the Adventure Overland Show in Stratford-upon-Avon. Frank and Paul had really impressed us as hosts and as a result we were determined to travel to the headquarters in Bentham. After a smooth discussion with Simon and Frank, we were certain that we found the partner to upgrade our Unimog. Two weeks later work had already started! We have too many kind words for Simon, Emma, Paul, Mark and the rest of the team to fit in this testimonial! Their knowledge and expertise in Unimogs made us feel assured. We were helped and cared for throughout the whole process, They are a phenomenal team, and we enjoyed the time we spend with them, Thanks guys! Souren and Kati"

Souren and Kati

"The inspection of my Unimog was executed thoroughly and the itemized repair quote was reasonable. In short my Unimog is a testament to the fantastic work delivered by Atkinson Vos. This is a compliment coming from someone who appreciates quality work and has an eye for detail."

Joe Dos Santos

After taking on bigger tree work as my business grew, I knew I needed a Unimog. After doing my research on different commercial vehicles sold in the UK i found Atkinson Vos and I felt I was in good hands. The quality of service, care and reliability from Simon and his team has been a really good experience. The team have built my Unimog to the exact spec of what I needed. I'm over the moon with it. I'm getting lots of feedback from customers and passers by that are impressed by the green machine. I would highly recommend Atkinson Vos to anyone that specialises in Arboriculture.

“Thank you for sorting out the Unimog parts. Well chuffed at the minimal corrosion and the quality of the bits. Thank the boys from the workshop for me. They were brilliant helping us load up. “

Tim Richardson

"Mark has done a fantastic job and in poor weather conditions too, he resolved an unexpected pump failure and replaced it in time for us to use the Unimog almost immediately after he finished. Our unimog has been on some high profile jobs since Mark left and has impressed all who have seen it in action"

"As a company owner Great British sports cars in the automotive sector, I know how important it is to have a team that offers great customer service but also has the depth of technical knowledge of their products, this has been especially helpful with a personal project of mine restoring an 1969 Unimog 416 were finding people that really know there stuff has been invaluable."

Richard Hall

Great British Sports Cars

We own an expedition camper, built on a 1990 Mercedes Benz 4WD truck. While the mileage was low, we were worried about parts that might have suffered from age. Atkinson Vos gave the truck a comprehensive survey and then performed a week’s worth of repairs and upgrades. The result is like having a new truck. Wonderful to work with people who really understand this type of vehicle. Our highest recommendation.

FREDERICK COOK

Emma and Paul, Just a quick message to let you know the Mog was delivered on time and very professionally this morning. Thank you for arranging the transport quickly after our haulier let us down a couple of times. I hope to use Atkinson Vos again in the future as the Mog has exceeded all expectations, the paint finish, and the overall cleanliness of the machine is second to none. Many thanks again to both of you for a smooth sale and for keeping us updated throughout the process.
