From the initial quote to install, the whole process was seamless

“As with all builds, from the concept stage to the final install, changes happened regularly, and this was certainly the case with Motus Truck and Van. The teams at

Linco Automotive and SSI SCHAEFER played their part perfectly without an issue. We made some fundamental changes quite close to the install date, all was taken on board without hesitation and amended plans were with us the following day. At time of install, everything was carried out perfectly with the execution of install fulfilled as per the plans.”

Gordon Down, General Manager at Motus Truck & Van
