Monkey Nut

Those old VWs taking me back!

If you want the job done right, 100% to factory specifications this is the shop to go to. Always professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. This is the only place that services my Vintage Volkswagens.

Best Vw shop in the region , by far .

Everything you need for your Old school VWs

Nice guys. Very knowledgeable about air-cooled VWs and Porsches. They are the preferred shop for most people in Charlotte who have nicer VW cars - doing a combination of restoration and mechanical work.

If you’re looking for a VW Microbus expert - they are definitely the guys. They are well known nationally and highly involved in the bus community. If you go over there - theres usually a few Beetles (old and new), some really nice busses, maybe a few VW Things, etc

They are reasonably priced in-between the local mechanics that don’t know much about Volkswagens and the really nice restoration shops that take forever and charge a fortune.

They helped me restore a 69 convertible Ghia thats a major show winner and then went on to work on other cars I’ve acquired. They always focus on getting the car safe and reliable before moving on other things. I take all cars on 100-200 mile trips and they’ve never broken down once.

They have many times been honest with me about whether a procedure is really necessary or useful or if my money might be better spent doing it differently.

Like most good VW shops they are laidback and also very busy. The owner travels often and responds best to email. Every now and then the doors will be locked and no one will be there during the workday or at a time when they said they would be there.

It hasnt been a big deal - but I have had to wait 10 or 15 minutes before the staff reappeared from lunch, etc. Once or twice I’ve shown up to drop off my car at an agreed upon time and found the gates are locked. In every case, it worked out - without any major hassle.

All in all, I really like these guys and They have been way better than other VW specialists Ive tried. Jake, the owner, and Dave, the lead mechanic, have gone out of their way to do nice things for me - like explaining how things work or delivering a large removable hardtop to my house so I wouldnt have to rent a truck to go pick it up.

Highly recommend them
