Call them and find out.

Novel idea! I should also ask them their recent customers opinions and experiences as of late as well :)

They're really just one of those places you go to, or call. Of the few places to go to get Type 3 parts, they're mentioned quite often along with ISP. That leads me to believe most people like them/recommend them.

Their web site is long ago dead but the store itself was a normal parts store last time I was inside. All the typical VW parts.

They have random Type 3 stuff in the back or in some glass cases out front but you have to ask for what you want and they can look, if they are free to do so.

I bought a sidedraft rebuild kit and copper intake gaskets from them 2 months ago. I called and talked to somebody who knew what they were talking about. Reasonable prices and good service, quick shipping.

They have a stash of rear windows for t34s!
They are worth supporting, and I do when I can.

I call them on a regular bases. What they don't have they can get. If ISP has it Bill and Steve's will usually have it or can get it also. And a lot of them have been good friends of mine for over 20 years. So I am kind of partial.

I wonder if they still sell those tshirts with the front of a Type 3 on the front and the back of a Type 3 on the back. I had one that I bought back in '91 or '92 at the VW Jamboree. Was my favorite shirt.

I go in there every other week. They're great guys. It's a good place to go for restoration parts. The seals and random gadgetry you will probably find there. The glass cases that Everett mentioned have a lot of used hard to find parts. I always get good service when I go and never leave that place empty handed.Not to mention, they give car club members a 10% discount and they are open on Sundays.

I find it to be a pretty decent place as well, I think the guys name is Don (?) older guy & pretty sharp on the stuff. they have open bins with all sorts of rubber stuff. Also noticed they have a whole bunch of ISP West marked items...? Good place

I bought from them a few months ago. . got a 67 turn signal relay and hazard switch fix, and a new generator pulley. . . I purchased out of state and over the phone and had no issues at all. . I would purchase there again. I really wish they had a good website though. . .
