VCI's Key Values Include Honesty, Integrity, Safety, and Reliability
Honesty is our priority
At VCI Emergency Vehicle Specialists, honesty is our number one policy. Establishing an honest and trusting rapport from the beginning is paramount in building a long-term relationship with a client. Part of the initial discussions with potential customers is to explain that not only would VCI like to provide them with their next ambulance but to also emphasize that VCI can take care of all of their ambulance and emergency vehicle needs in the future. The only way VCI successfully accomplishes this objective is with superior products, excellent service, and providing an honest and open-door policy from the beginning. This is VCI's standard and unwavering approach to acquiring long-term customer satisfaction.
Safety is crucial
VCI Emergency Vehicle Specialists is committed to occupant safety which is evident in the brands of ambulances that we offer. We are proud to have partnered with brands that have been conducting crash testing since as early as 1974 and are committed to the safety and well-being of the occupants. VCI emphasizes the safety standards of every ambulance to instill that the crew and patients riding in that ambulance will be as safe as possible. Many features and innovations have been developed to continually ensure that occupant safety is the most important aspect when building a new ambulance. Let the product specialists at VCI help keep your patient and crews safe, while meeting your organization’s ambulance requirements and budget.
Integrity is a guarantee
VCI Emergency Vehicle Specialists is confident in the integrity of their staff and services by employing the largest and most experienced team of emergency vehicle professionals committed solely to ambulances. The products that we offer are built with integrity at their core from the substructure to the final fit and finish. Each ambulance that we deliver is designed and built without compromise. It is this unwavering approach in customization and purpose built ambulances that enables VCI to be confident in the integrity of the products that we offer. Through the years, VCI's integrity has become known and recognized in the industry and is evident by the multiple Horton and AEV Dealer awards that VCI has earned. VCI is a member of the National Truck and Equipment Association, CAAS, as well as proudly becoming a Ford QVM (Qualified Vehicle Modifier Program) certified remount facility. VCI has emerged as a leader in the emergency vehicle industry by completing the first Ford QVM E-series to F-series remount conversion. In addition to the brands of ambulances that we offer, VCI is continually looking for ways to innovate our products and services.
