|
Today I took a run up to Wolfgang Int. in Redding Ca. I went up to get a swing axle conversion kit. Anyway, I had the pleasure of having Steve Wolfgang himself help me with what I was trying to accomplish and I have to say he is by far one of the most knowledgable and helpful individuals I've ever met. He took almost an hour to help me (while other customers waited to be helped) with some questions I had about the lowering of my bus and my choice of engines. I actually left with a headache from being overloaded with information.
In a time where most people rush you off the phone or sell you something that you don't even know why you need it, it's nice to see someone take their valuable time to stop and walk you through step by step until you understand the best way to do what you're trying to do. I know where I'll be going first for the parts I need.
Thanks again Steve,
Chris F. |

| I always thought that Steve was a straight up guy and easy to deal with, and his machinist, Joe, was a great dude. Some years ago, Joe sold me the two dog legs that were on the bus that was cut in two for their counter displays. I got a good price, too! |

Yes Yes!!
Wolfgang's and Steve are top notch. He will answer any questions and loves to just chit chat about VW's. One time they couldn't find a price for a small piece of heater defrost hose I wanted, so I got it for free.
I got into Volkswagens before knowing I had one of the best resources only 30 minutes away from me. It was a great surprise.
There are other VW shops in Redding......I have no idea where because there's no need to go anywhere else. |

I just received an order from Wolfgang and want to echo everyone's sentiments. I ordered online either Saturday or Sunday, and was pleasantly surprised at a present awaiting my return home tonight. Everything was packed well, with the smaller parts all packed together in a larger bag. They had some more difficult to find parts for my Super Beetle project.
I will not hesitate to buy from Wolfgang International in the future. _________________ -

I ordered some rebuilt spindles and a rebuilt steering gear box for my bus. Wolfgang had them in stock and shipped them out to quickly. Both items came with very detailed instructions that made installation a breeze for a first timer.
In addition, when I sent my cores back to them the core charge was refunded within a couple of days.
Thanks Wolfgang. |

It's nice to know that there are still companies that actually care about their customers..... I purchased a safari kit for my 66' beetle knowing I would have to modify it. I asked Steve if I could have some extra channel so I could fit the kit to my larger opening. I asked for 6" and he sent several feet along with extra long seals. Now that's service.... Not to mention the quality was top notch. That double channel is sweet!!! I would highly recommend Wolfgang  _________________ www.intuitiveiron.com |

Steve is one bad ass guy. He just saved my ass on a 6mm oil pump and had the set of mains I needed for my own personal motor. Have purchased his Safari's from him and they were awesome. Installed nicely and the finish was excellent. Has my business and would recommend him to everyone. _________________ If you argue with an idiot for more than 5 minutes, who's the real idiot?

Wolfgang Int'l was very fair with me:
I stripped the thread of a Master Brake Cylinder with the brake switch. I was not pushing anything, 'cause I know it is an iffy situation - was it my heavy hand (of course not!) or the badly manufactured part.
It was no problem - I returned the bad cylinder and they sent me a new Master Cylinder of for free.
Thank you! I will recommend you and happily buy from you again. _________________ _______________________
