Continuity of Protection
Your BearCat Is in Our Shop. Your Department Stays Protected.
We understand that many law enforcement agencies rely on a single armored vehicle to support critical operations. Taking that vehicle out of service for refurbishment can leave a department without an essential piece of equipment.
That's why AVS offers a temporary armored vehicle loaner program for qualifying customers. While we restore your BearCat, your department can use one of our loaner vehicles to maintain its operational readiness.
Stay mission-ready during refurbishment
