My wife and I would like to say a big thank you to Sam & all the team at CMC Reimo. The help we received in acquiring our chosen vehicle and the excellent workmanship in the conversion was second to none. We are really enjoying our Caddy Camp Maxi, its all we had hoped for and more. Congratulations to all at CMC for being so good at what you do.

Concept Multi Car converted our T6 kombi to create a great campervan. The quality of parts and workmanship is excellent. All staff were and remain very helpful, especially Sam. Their shop has good quality bits and pieces too - and can get other stuff fast.

Weve taken delivery of our new CMC HemBil Camper and its an absolute beauty! CMC have been fantastic and customised the perfect VW T6.1 Urban-S. The team at CMC are so helpful; they guided us through the process, advised on all tech spec, and went the extra mile to ensure the van worked for our family. With three messy boys, all in car seats, we needed a few modifications to the standard offerings CMC have been perfect choice for us. I couldnt recommend them more!
