If you have a T3 and you have a problem, this is the place where you want to be! They are very knowledgeable and I got videos about the progress during the days that they were working on my car. They take no shortcuts when solving a problem (contrary to other garages where I have been) and so now my T3 runs the smoothest it has ran for a long time. Thanks guys!

Okay, guys, I don't even know where to begin. Fran and his team are not only the most professional, passionate and experienced VWT3 specialists I ever met, but also the kindest and most helpful people. We came to them with a broken engine, while we were on our road trip with our baby, who was just about to turn one. We were so desperate and Fernando welcomed us with open arms (and perfect English ) even though the T3s are piling up at the garage (for a reason). Our van was a complete disaster and they still made it happen that we could continue our trip on our son's birthday. I will be forever grateful. Fran worked overtime and sent us videos and messages to keep us updated on what's going on. They answered all of our questions and gave us all the inside tips on which oil and cooling water is best and how to treat the new engine right. We are so happy that we got to meet such lovely pros. They put a lot of work and love into your Van, I promise you that. If you're T3 needs anything, this is the place to go! MUCHAS GRACIAS CHICOS!!!

If you have a problem with your T3 - that's the place to go. On our trip we got stuck in Seville due to a defective wheel bearing and got direct help at a good price-performance ratio. Definitely recommend.

Francisco & his team are absolutely brilliant. They are not just extremely professional and reliant in what they do, but also fun and trustworthy. When my Vanagon broke down with transmission failure and I had to return to Germany unexpectedly, they kept hold of all my belongings, fixed the transmission and kept me updated throughout the process. With another 3 Months at hand before I could return to Seville we decided to fight the rust. Just see the pictures for the amazing job they did! When I finally picked up the van last week I was in awe. Francisco & his team added the missing VW symbol and custom built a spacer to lift the left rear the missing 2.5 cm. Of course the van was cleaned inside and out and filled with GLP ready to go. Absolutely spectacular work exceeding expectations. I will definitely return for any work needed in the future - worth the 2.700 km drive any day. Thanks team!

WORDLESS! Knowing ones own work is not enough. A good professional is someone whose behavior makes the environment in which he works pleasant, who makes people want to collaborate with him, because he is cooperative, kind, does not shy away from effort, takes his task seriously, generates trust, is Empathic, he maintains his manners, even in the most difficult moments and always observes ethical and respectful conduct. All that and more is Fran from Karvans. We didnt know him, but now we can say that he is an extraordinary human being. Well, him and Fernando his partner. We arrived at your workshop desperate without an auxiliary battery in our camper for more than 5 days and therefore without water or the rest of the services. In the end it was nonsense, but one of those that drives you crazy because it has no logic. Everything worked fine, but In 10 minutes, everything solved. The quality/price ratio of the service: excellent. Best of all the subsequent conversation about life, work, profession and vocation. Marvelous. We carry experiences with people like this in our hearts. Karvans is a 10, but we can only give 5 stars.

!SIN PALABRAS! Conocer el propio trabajo no basta. Un buen profesional es alguien cuyo comportamiento hace agradable el entorno en el que desempena su trabajo, que logra que las personas quieran colaborar con el, porque es cooperador, amable, no rehuye el esfuerzo, se toma su tarea en serio, genera confianza, es empatico, mantiene las formas, incluso en los momentos mas dificiles y observa siempre una conducta etica y respetuosa. Todo eso y mas es Fran de Karvan s. No le conociamos, pero ahora ya podemos decir que es un ser humano extraordinario. Bueno, el y Fernando su socio. Llegamos a su taller desesperados sin bateria auxiliar en nuestra camper mas de 5 dias y por tanto sin agua, ni el resto de servicios. Al final era una tonteria, pero de esas que te desquician porque no tiene logica. Todo funcionaba bien, pero En 10 minutos, todo solucionado. La relacion calidad/precio del servicio: excelente. Lo mejor de todo la conversacion posterior sobre la vida, el trabajo, la profesion y la vocacion. Maravilloso. Nos llevamos en el corazon experiencias con personas asi. Karvan s es un 10, pero solo podemos poner 5 estrellas.

Real professionals! We were there with our T4 and got an appointment very spontaneously. The guys took the entire morning to diagnose our bus, even though the workshop was full of orders. The problem was found and fixed immediately. Communication went smoothly. We are very happy that we found this workshop and can recommend it without reservation. P.S.: The oranges from Frans garden that were given as gifts taste great!

Wirkliche Fachleute! Wir waren mit unserem T4 dort und haben sehr spontan einen Termin bekommen. Die Jungs haben sich den kompletten Vormittag Zeit genommen unseren Bus zu diagnostizieren und das obwohl die Werkstatt voll mit Auftragen war. Es konnte das Problem gefunden und direkt behoben werden. Die Kommunikation verlief reibungslos. Wir sind sehr froh, dass wir diese Werkstatt gefunden haben und konnen sie uneingeschrankt weiter empfehlen. P.S.: Die geschenkten Orangen aus Frans Garten schmecken hervorragend!

They are the best, my van if possible, only they play it. Every time I have gone I come back with a master class from Fran on mechanics, he explains everything they have done, showing it to you in detail in your van. Super professionals and good people, honest to a fault. And thanks also to Fernando, who always does his best to find a space for you when you need it and makes sure everything is well. Thank you always.

Son los mejores, mi furgo a ser posible, solo la tocan ellos.

Y gracias tambien a Fernando, que siempre hace lo posible por encontrarte un hueco cuando lo necesitas y se preocupa porque quede todo bien. Gracias siempre.

If we talk about Volkswagen and T3 backwards, you will not find anyone like them, not only in Seville and its province, I assure you that you will not find them in Europe and I think that beyond, their work can only be defined as delivery and professionalism, a shame that the more modern versions do not also work.
Translation
Si hablamos de Volkswagen y de T3 hacia atras, no vas a encontrar a nadie como ellos, no tan solo en Sevilla y su provincia, te aseguro que no lo encontraras en Europa y creo que mas alla, su trabajo solo se puede definir como entrega y profesionalidad, una pena que no trabajen tambien las versiones mas modernas.

We have contracted a vehicle inspection service before a purchase. A VW T4 that, apparently, was in good condition after having passed the MOT a few months ago and with 160 thousand km. Well, thank goodness we have come because they have detected quite a few deficiencies in wheels, pads, discs, suspension ball joints, rusty water pipes, diesel, oil and water leaks, muddy water circuit... On top of that, they have given us a Master Class on the best VW engines and the Camper world in general. Apart from good professionals and experts in T3-T4, very good people. Out of 10 the treatment received. Without a doubt, we have a reliable workshop for when we have our van. Thank you

Hemos contratado un servicio de inspeccion de vehiculo antes de una compra. Una VW T4 que, aparentemente, estaba en buen estado tras haber pasado la ITV hace pocos meses y con 160mil km. Pues menos mal que hemos venido porque han detectado bastantes deficiencias tanto en ruedas, pastillas, discos, rotulas de suspension, tuberias de agua oxidadas, perdidas de gasoil, aceite y agua, circuito de agua con barro Encima, nos han dado una Master Class de los mejores motores de vw y del mundo Camper en general. Aparte de buenos profesionales y expertos en T3-T4, una buenisimas personas. De 10 el trato recibido. Sin duda, tenemos taller de confianza para cuando tengamos nuestra furgo. Gracias

When we broke down it was miraculously quite close to the Karvans garage. They are very great specialists and enthusiasts of VW t3s Our breakdown was quickly diagnosed and could not be repaired on site within an acceptable time frame for our stay (the engine had to fall) so Fran and her mechanics did a brilliant job for us to lower the oil pressure and we were able to return very slowly. with us (1000 kms anyway) Thank you thank you again. We visited Frans personal museum full of t3s and still marveled at it. The welcome is wonderful. We will come back to make our improvements (4x4 preparation and air conditioning) here for sure.

Quand nous sommes tombes en panne c etait miraculeusement assez proche du garage karvans. Ce sont de tres grands specialistes et passionnes des t3 VW Notre panne tres vite diagnostiquee n etait pas reparable sur place dans un delai acceptable pour notre sejour ( il fallait tomber le moteur) aussi Fran et ses mecanos nous ont fait un montage genial pour faire baisser la pression d huile et nous avons pu rentrer tout doucement chez nous (1000 kms quand meme) Merci merci encore. Nous avons visite le musee personnel de Fran rempli de t3 et nous en sommes encore emerveilles. L accueil est formidable . Nous reviendrons faire nos ameliorations (preparation 4x4 et climatisation) ici c est sur.
