Most shops can do one of these.
Finding a part that hasn’t been manufactured in thirty years is one skill. Getting dealer-only inventory is another. Fitting it correctly is a third. Building the whole car is a fourth. We have been doing all four out of the same building in Pahrump since 1982.
We find it
OEM, no-longer-available, new old stock, and European-spec. Four decades of knowing where things are.
We can get it
Authorized dealer for Kennedy Engineered Products, Neuspeed, Techtonics, ECS Tuning, FCP Euro, WORLDPAC and IMC, plus dealer-only VW and Audi items.
We fit it
Full restorations, custom engine and drivetrain conversions, and water-cooled and diesel work in house.
Four things, done properly.
01 · Parts Sourcing
The part you can’t find anywhere else.
That is usually the reason people call. OEM, NLA, NOS and European-spec for water-cooled, air-cooled and diesel VW and Audi. Tell us the year, the platform and the code and we’ll tell you straight whether we can get it.
02 · Restoration
We take the ones other people gave up on.
Full restorations of classic Volkswagen and Audi vehicles. We take the ones other shops turned away and give them back finished, not just running.
03 · Custom Conversions
Engine and drivetrain, built to your spec.
Authorized Kennedy Engineered Products dealer, and old-school water-cooled and diesel specialists. Tell us the platform and what you want out of it.
04 · Vehicles
We sell them, and we buy them.
Inspected VW and Audi vehicles. If you have one sitting, running or not, tell us about it.
Authorized dealer for seven suppliers.
Which is how we reach inventory a general shop cannot, including dealer-only VW and Audi parts.

Parts Request
Tell us what you’re looking for.
Give us the year, the platform and whatever you know about the part: a number, a description, or a photo of the broken one. We’ll tell you whether we have it, whether we can get it, or what fits instead. No account, no cart.
What we work on.
Air-cooled and water-cooled Volkswagen, and Audi. Tell us the chassis and the year and we’ll tell you what we can get and what we can fit. If it’s outside what we do, we’ll say so.
Cars other people gave up on.
Every one of these came in as somebody’s problem.
Type 2 · Drivetrain
Bay window, back on the road
Engine out, gearbox rebuilt, running gear replaced end to end.
Type 2 · Full restoration
Camper, finished and driving
Two years of chasing NLA trim. It left the shop on its own wheels.
Come see the shelves.
Family owned, and small enough that the person who answers the phone is the person who knows where the part is. We’re an hour out of Las Vegas, so people plan the drive. Call ahead if you’re coming for something specific and we’ll have it out and waiting.
