Eastside Autoworks Van Center was born in 2018 when our shop took over the Volkswagen EuroVan service from Peace Vans in Seattle — yet our roots reflect decades of experience going back to 1972.
Owner Glenn MacMillan’s passion for vans was sparked as a teenager, working on his dad’s ‘70s bay window VW buses. It was no surprise when he decided on a career in the automotive industry (back in 1984), rising from apprentice to lead technician, and eventually taking over the shop where he worked in 2006.
Glenn’s shop quickly built a solid reputation as the go-to for foreign and domestic automotive repairs on the eastside with a AAA rating and recognition by Bosch as a car service center. Given the team’s extensive electrical and mechanical skills, and Glenn’s personal history with VW vans, the shop’s ultimate evolution into a van center was a natural next step. Our focus since the formation of the Van Center is Volkswagen EuroVans from the ‘90s through 2003.
Today the team brings their considerable knowledge forward to include a range of repairs and projects on Mercedes Benz camper vans (Sprinter/Metris), Ford camper vans (Transit and E Van), and Toyota vans. If you’re looking for van service, repair, or upgrades in Bellevue, or around the greater Seattle area, we’re the team that knows our stuff.
