I stumbled across Colin on "the samba" selling vanagon parts that I needed, after a few emails we struck a deal and I bought the parts and that's where the problems started. I casually mentioned that I was looking to buy a Westy and couldn't find one that was in my budget or worth the time to fix up and make road worthy. About 5 days later I get a call from Colin saying he was traveling 400 miles round trip to look at one for me!!! Unbelievable somebody that I only talked to on the phone for 30 mins about a window regulator and wanting a westy was making a trip to NJ to make sure that I was getting a good deal! Now I own 4 vans and my girlfriend and son think I'm nuts!
So to sum it up Colin is not only a good seller he became a good friend! And would recommend that you do business with him

I picked up a hatch for my Vanagon from Colin last night.

He was great to deal with and took the time to do a professional job without cutting wires or losing hardware. Everything was as described, the condition was not exaggerated, and the price was quite fair.

I'll be sure to check with him whenever I need other parts.

Thanks Colin!

Bought a high beam light from Colin last week. Very honest seller, fast and safe shipping. He has a variety of VW parts. You should hit him up for your VW part needs.

Thanks Colin,

Greg

We're lucky this Mister Colin is the opposit of a magician !

1- A magician DOESN'T do what he's saying
2- A magician DOESN'T say what he's doing

The difference with Colin is :

1- Colin DOES do what he's saying
2- Colin DOES says what he doing

So 5 stars for this guy *****

Thanks Colin

Okay, I am at fault on one account. I did not email him to inform him I received payment and shipped parts. But let's look at the facts.
I sold him parts and even gave him 10.00 off one of the items as he asked.
Offered USPS Parcel Post and Priority Mail prices. Informed him I do Pay Pal or USPS Money order. On April 27th he emails me to inform me the funds were sent. He is in San Diego, CA and I am upstate NY. I received the envelope on April 30th to find he actually sent CASH. I shipped the items that day, April 30th, Parcel Post which is what he paid for. 7-10 shipping time. His numerous emails he sent was one on 5/2/13 and another on 5/4/13.As for his numerous phone calls, I never got a missed call or voicemail. Upon my returning home from 3 days of camping I see his feedback. He wrote this on Sunday May 5th, 8 days after he sent payment not 10 as he states. I emailed him and called and left numerous emails trying to talk to him. He responded on Tuesday5/7/13 only with "parts received today",which was 10 days after payment was mailed. Offered him to post here but he hasn't. And I feel to ship and get the parts to the customer in a timely manner is the #1 detail.
And lastly if he bothered to actually read the feedbacks he would have seen the person who wrote the feedback he QOUTES updated there feedback to show we worked it all out. I leave the decision up to you, the reader.

Found Colin on samba site and emailed about one part and ended up after talking to him on the phone and thru email buying 20 more parts. Very good seller will buy from gain especially after he delivered the parts to my door with a minimal fee. Thanks again, Phil.

[sandcough]

I have bought a few things from Colin and it is always an easy, trustworthy transaction that got me the parts that I needed. He was a pleasure to deal with and his prices are good.

[napat]

Purchased a very very nice pair of vent wing for T3 (aka vanagon). The parts were better than the pictures he sent to me.

He shipped parts very fast!
Communication went smooth!

Glad to buy parts from him! Will do business with him again!

Thanks,

If my wife would let me, I would save all the vanagons I could find from seeing the crusher. Instead, I will reach out to Colin when I need a part. He seems to have quite a selection! And at a fair price too!! All the stuff I got arrived quickly and was in great shape. He saved the door handle seals and even rekeyed them too. Thanks a lot. Keep rolling in a vanagon

[hightop69]

Great seller. Called up to see if he had a van that I could cut the floor section out of
“Yeah, I got a bus that’s rusted out bring your sawzall and grinder”
I showed up that weekend ,he run a extension cord and said “Cut out what you want. You need anything let me know me casa sue casa”

Purchased windows and other parts from Colin. Items arrived well packed. I would definitely buy from Colin again.

[tsco]

Found Colin's ad for a pair of radiator brackets that I needed. Not only did he beat the price of another parts dealer I had called, but he got back to me quicker and had them repainted with rust protectant. Overall, great experience, and hoping I might be able to pick up some more parts from him in the future.

Real Vanagon enthusiast
Let me tell you what a real Vanagon enthusiast is. It is someone who will help a Vanagon driver stay on the road.
I met Colin on The Samba while looking for rear suspension springs for my Vanagon. Since he didn't have the ones I needed he went out of his way (exchanging more than 20 email communications and several calls with me) to put me in touch with someone who had them. He will help Vanagon owners stay on the road even when he doesn't make money, Colin is a real Vanagon enthusiast. Based on my experience I would recommend doing business with Colin.

I purchased some power steering parts from Colin. He was very helpful, offered additional pictures of the items, communicated promptly, and shipped the items very quickly. The items were exactly as listed/described. I would definitely buy parts from him again. Thank you!
