I found Coolkit to be very friend and helpful. When I needed my van's fridges calibration at short notice they came quick to do what was needed! The work carried out was great and the engineer was good at keeping me informed during the process.

Paul Keating

Knowledgeable, considerate, excellent workmanship. The Coolkit team have been accommodating and worked as a team – the support through our build has been excellent.

Coolkit are always a pleasure to work with. The team are credible, approachable and work in partnership to find the best overall solution. They have built on products from across the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles range for us and their relationship with the OEM means their conversions can offer seamless integration with the base vehicle, this is great for reliability and to ensure the warranty for the base vehicle is not affected.

From making the order to completion the whole process was faultless, Sam who dealt with our order was very organised and made sure our 30 vans were delivered on time and exactly to the specification i had requested. Will definitely use them again as the quality of the conversion was spot on.

We have worked with CoolKit for over 10 years now, and really value their expertise in the field of transport refrigeration. As a funder of vehicles, we can be confident that the customers we mutually serve are in safe hands when we pass them over to them. CoolKit always deliver on their commitments to service delivery, and react quickly to any issues that arise in the sequence of what can often be a complex supply chain. I would not hesitate to personally recommend CoolKit as your transport refrigeration supplier of choice.
