Keep Your Adventure Rolling: The Titan Vans Service Center

The beautiful house you built sits on top of a complex mechanical machine. Certified automotive technicians in Boulder covering the chassis as well as the house — factory service, real diagnostics, and heavy-duty off-road upgrades.

The short answer

The Titan Vans Service Center in Boulder, Colorado has certified automotive technicians — not just upfitters — so it covers the chassis as well as the house. That means factory Service A and B for Sprinters and Transits, real engine and emissions diagnostics, and heavy-duty off-road work: Van Compass and Agile Offroad suspension, BFGoodrich KO3 HD tires, Warn winches, big brake kits, and Baja Designs lighting.

As a van owner, you know the pride that comes from adventuring in your own living space. You researched the layouts, chose a builder, and put in the work to end up with a camper van that fits your life.

But the beautiful house you built sits on top of a highly complex mechanical machine. Keeping that rig running — and modifying it to survive backcountry roads — needs a mechanical partner you trust.

That is the Titan Vans Service Center, right here in Boulder. Titan Vans and Timber Van Kits are sister brands sharing the same DNA, the same engineering mindset, and the same facility. We are now offering that mechanical expertise directly to you.

Real mechanics, not just upfitters

There is a meaningful difference between building a bed frame and diagnosing a transmission slip. Unlike upfitting shops that only work on interiors, we have certified automotive technicians on staff. We understand the chassis, the engine, and the drivetrain as well as the house.

  • Routine maintenance. Do not risk your factory warranty. We perform proper factory Service A and Service B procedures for Sprinters and Transits, including synthetic oil changes, DEF top-offs, fuel filters, and brake fluid flushes.
  • Complex engine repairs. DPF emissions codes, turbo boost leaks, chassis vibrations, or electrical gremlins in the OEM harness — our techs have the diagnostic equipment and the experience to fix it right the first time.

Heavy-duty off-road upgrades

You built the interior. You may not want to install a suspension lift in your driveway. If your van is destined for rugged BLM roads and snowy mountain passes, our off-road department handles the heavy lifting.

  • Suspension lifts and upgrades. We install heavy-duty Van Compass and Agile Offroad kits, custom-tuning shocks and leaf springs to the actual weight of your build — which is what eliminates that unnerving side-to-side body roll a converted van develops.
  • Wheels and tires. We mount and balance high-capacity BFGoodrich KO3 tires with the crucial HD (Heavy Duty) rating. The reinforced sidewalls are what safely carry a heavy van build on the highway and the trail.
  • Armor and recovery. Equip your van to self-rescue. We install Flatline Van Co and CA Tuned front bumpers integrated with heavy-duty Warn winches (12,000 lb capacity), plus big brake upgrades so you can stop safely on steep descents.
  • Lighting. Premium Baja Designs packages, wired cleanly into your auxiliary switches.

Why weight tuning matters more on a camper van

This is the part most shops skip. A converted van weighs thousands of pounds more than the cargo van it started as, and that weight sits high and toward the rear. Factory springs and shocks were never valved for it.

Tuning suspension to your build’s real weight — rather than fitting a generic lift — is the difference between a van that tracks straight on a washboard road and one that wanders. It is also why we weigh vans before specifying parts.

We like explaining things

We are confident in our engineering, and as fellow van owners we enjoy passing the knowledge along to the DIY community. Consider us your mechanical second opinion.

Building it yourself? We also help DIY builders with the installations that are hardest to do at home — windows, fuel tanks, and heaters.

Frequently asked questions

Does Titan Vans service camper vans it did not build?

Yes. The Boulder service center works on customer-owned vans regardless of who converted them, covering both chassis mechanical work and interior systems.

Can a service center do factory Sprinter maintenance without voiding my warranty?

Yes, when the proper factory procedures are followed. Titan Vans performs factory Service A and Service B for Sprinters and Transits, including synthetic oil changes, DEF top-offs, fuel filters, and brake fluid flushes.

What suspension is best for a heavy camper van?

A system tuned to your build’s actual weight rather than a generic lift. Van Compass and Agile Offroad kits with shocks and springs valved for the real load are what stop a converted van from developing heavy body roll.

What tires should a heavy camper van use?

Tires carrying an HD (Heavy Duty) rating, such as BFGoodrich KO3 HD. The reinforced sidewalls are what safely support a converted van’s weight at highway speed and on the trail.
