What It Means to Be Part of the Volkswagen Recognised Converter Network
October 7, 2021 TBC Conversions Company News
From minibus to WAV and specialist vehicle adaptions, TBC Conversions have supplied businesses, organisations, families and private owners with adapted Volkswagens tailored to specific needs and requirements.
We’ve been converting vehicles for over 15 years now and are proud to be able to name ourselves as one of Volkswagen’s Recognised Converting partners.
But what does that mean to CUSTOMERS?
Well, being part of the network means all the practices and procedures we operate by at TBC Conversions are subject to Volkswagens own high standards of technical requirement, sales and after-sales support.
Each of our Volkswagen vehicle conversions is Volkswagen Recognised and TBC Conversions even match the 3-year manufacturer’s warranty supplied with every new vehicle.
In keeping with the Volkswagen quality of engineering and production, our WAVs retain many original features such as factory fitted VW fuel tanks and suspension. Our team of converting technicians are also monitored to the standard of Volkswagen, ensuring a high quality of our conversions are met each and every time.
What’s more, our network of aftercare support which is so important to many of our Volkswagen owners, follows the practices set down by Volkswagen themselves. TBC Conversions is subject to regular checks and audits by Volkswagen to ensure we are always in sync with the manufacturer’s standards in quality and engineering.
Whilst operating to the Recognised Converter standards Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles set, it’s also important to TBC Conversions that we are recognised and certified under a wider body of national operating standards. We are therefore proud to be:
- ISO 9001 Certified for our Quality Management Systems
- ISO 18001 Certified for our Health and Safety Standards
- ISO 45001 Certified for our Occupational Health and Safety
We believe it’s essential that our customers, businesses, and organisations have confidence and trust in our products, practices and services. Being certified under the ISO standards listed above allows us to maintain and monitor all that we do to achieve this.
