Who Am I?

Hi, my name is Declan Walsh. I am the owner of Elite Sprinter Service. I currently have a little over 9 years in the automotive industry. I’ve always put my customers first. I know everyone says that, but pleasing people in general has always been my top priority.

My automotive mechanic journey started when I bought my first motorcycle at 18. A little later than most mechanics I know, but I always had a knack for building and fixing things, and I loved the satisfaction of seeing a finished product. My neighbor had agreed to help me find one, and fix it if needed, so my first motorcycle was in a non-running condition. Full disclosure: it sat in a garage for 5 years and only needed a battery and a fuel system cleaning. Nonetheless, it sparked my journey into upgrading, and subsequentially repairing, my motorcycles. I got a job doing oil changes and state inspections at 19, stuck with it until I was 25, and ended up with a job repairing Luxury Class B Sprinters.

Point blank: the automotive industry is designed to take advantage of those that don’t understand it. I’ve witnessed it first-hand, and I have done my best to combat it. Unfortunately, I’ve only ever had limited control of my environments and workplaces, and the only option for change has been to leave. I aim to be the refreshing change this industry needs. You can find my core values below, as well as some testimonials from people I have worked with in the past.

Our Mission

The auto repair industry has long faced a negative stigma, often associated with unclear pricing, unnecessary upselling, and inconsistent workmanship. Many customers fear being overcharged or receiving subpar service, leading to distrust in traditional repair shops. ESS aims to break this stereotype by offering transparency, expertise, and high-quality craftsmanship tailored to high-end vehicles. Specializing in luxury class B repairs and customizations, we prioritize customer trust with upfront pricing, detailed diagnostics, and a commitment to only recommending necessary repairs. With a focus on premium service, expert technicians, and superior attention to detail, we provide an experience that matches the expectations of owners who invest in these high-end Sprinter conversions. By combining professionalism, honesty, and top-tier workmanship, we will redefine the standard for automotive service.

Core Values

Transparency, integrity and professionalism. This is what defines us and makes us stand out.

Integrity - We put YOU first. We won’t upsell you and we stand by our work. I’ve always taken the approach of “act like there’s a camera filming you.”

Transparency - Act like there’s a camera? There is! We take pictures of everything we do, and we will provide you with as much detail as possible with any repair we do.

Professionalism - The elegance and intricacies of these conversions demands the utmost respect. Everything is done with precision and, beyond it being better, you won’t even know we were there!

Through these principles, ESS aims to provide a new repair experience, offering a level of service that matches the luxury and precision of the vehicles we maintain.

  • "I can't say enough great things about Declan. As someone who owns a class B vehicle, finding a service technician who is knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely cares about their customers is priceless. From the very start, Declan went above and beyond providing me with his personal cell number. This was a game changer when I needed assistance outside of regular hours. No matter the time of day, he was always there to answer my questions. Once, he even met me after hours because that was the only time I could drop off our van. What truly stands out about Declan is his unwavering commitment to his work and his customers. He's not just there to fix issues at hand- he's truly invested in making sure my experience with the vehicle is the best it can be. I always feel as though he cares and that he's looking out for my best interests. It's rare to find someone who is both an expert in their field and also dedicated to customer service.

  • "I first met Dec Walsh, when he worked at (Censored), as their Lead Engineer Mechanic. Dec, is a young man true to his word and with great knowledge of the Mercedes Sprinter Van. His expertise is unmatched, his knowledge is spot on, he can diagnose the problem over the phone, that’s how vast his knowledge and experience is ! I know from experience Dec, could take a Sprinter completely apart and put it back together flawlessly. I know this due to my firsthand experience, my company Sprinter had many issues over the year. Dec, diagnosed the problem with acute accuracy each and every time! Dec, has always delivered with my utmost satisfaction of service! He is one of those rare individuals in the industry of both technical and mechanical expertise, of the Mercedes brand. I applaud him for both his work ethics and personal integrity."

  • "I highly recommend Declan Walsh as a service and warranty repair technician in the luxury sprinter van marketplace. When I purchased my Mercedes Sprinter from an out-of-state dealer, Declan took extra time and care to ensure we were comfortable with all of the van's numerous features. He made himself available to answer any questions at any time of day and was always responsive and patient with us as new luxury van owners. Declan is an excellent communicator and did a great job explaining an how-to questions we had. We were especially impressed by his follow-up several months later to ensure we were satisfied with our van and to offer any additional assistance. I would highly recommend Declan as a service and repair technician and would be happy to work with him again for any future service needs for our luxury Sprinter van."
