Service & Repairs

In a time when it seems everything is disposable and nothing is built to last, it is comforting to know that at least one company still believes in a quality product from which you can get your money’s worth. Having been the northern Michigan Ricoh® dealer since 1982, our customers can be secure in the knowledge that we have an intimate understanding of the products we sell. They also know we can support their machine through out its life. And when the time comes to replace the machine, they know they will be able to get another familiar, quality machine.

We have a motto at Van's: "Service is Our Profession". We take this to heart, believing firmly that service is what we sell, and that it is our service that sets us apart from our competition. Anyone can sell a machine that ‘makes a mark on a piece of paper’, but not just anyone can claim over 25 years experience selling the same brand of quality machines. Every year, we build upon a legacy of quality service and a rich understanding of how local business is done.
