John has rebuilt two aircooled vw motors for me (two different cars) and the results have been great. He is an awesome mechanic and a great guy without whom we wouldn’t be able to continue driving our classic aircooled vws.

John has been helping me with my 1962 VW beetle since 1980’s. I have to admit, I have not had to see him much, but when needed, he has my bug dialed in right away. Classic Volkswagen cars are hard to come by these days and the guys who know them like John does are even more rare.
Bring John your air cooled porsche or vw for a tune up, oil change, rebuild, or overhaul. You will be glad you did. Tell him Rob sent ya!

I’ve been going to John’s shop ever since I purchased my 1968 bug in 1997. He’s always been extremely reliable, honest and reasonable with his work. I’ve had him do just about everything mechanically possible with my car, and he is in the final stage of rebuilding my engine as I type this. He is as good as it gets for classic VW and Porsche repair. My only hope is that he continues to work for the foreseeable future, as great VW mechanics are hard to come by.
