For years, our fourth bay was just that.

A bay in our shop where Yama Vans came to life. Where we tested, tweaked, and perfected every detail. Then, a year and a half ago, it became Bay4, a dedicated aftermarket shop with its doors open to every Sprinter. Since then, we’ve installed upgrades and gear on all kinds of vans, and it’s been a pleasure to serve the broader van community and get to know more of you. 

Now, as Yama continues to grow, we’re shifting gears and putting our full service team behind the Yama Fam. Doing what we do best, better: creating memorable ownership experiences, backed by incredible service and a meaningful community. Moving forward, that means Bay4 will only work on Yama Vans.

To everyone who’s trusted Bay4 with their Sprinter: thank you. Working on your vans has been a real privilege and an invaluable learning experience, and it’s made our team better at what we do. We’ll keep standing behind every job we’ve completed, and we’d be glad to point you to a great local shop for any future work.

Bay4 was an important chapter in Yama’s story, and we’ll carry everything it taught us into what comes next.
