40 years ago my Pop’s 67 bug was broken into and the original ignition smashed. Pop changed it but it was never quite right (and there was only one ignition key!). I reached out to Gabriel and only a few days later I had a new ignition switch and spare keys. Thanks for helping me and my kids get the old girl closer to being like new! Awesome, quality work!

So glad to have had the chance to buy from Gabriel again. Years ago he had done my keys for my 71 Super, later he did more for my 77 Westy. Both of those moved on to new owners and I find myself nearing completion on the rebuild of a 64 Beetle. Only Gabriel would have a set of NOS handles laying around to fit my car, he had them coded and shipped off within a day - and they were in my hands 48 hours later.
They’re mounted on the car and looking like a million bucks. Now, my 64 has new handles and new keys that match its original key.
Thanks Gabriel!
I’m sure I’ll be back! _________________ Mike

Ordered two L code keys cut to code from Gabriel. Guess what? They work.
Decent pricing and fast shipment. Will do business with him again. _________________ 67 Type 1

I’ve posted here before, but another order warrants more great feedback.
Gabriel cut to code and stamped a set of NOS keys for my bug. They arrived quick and work perfectly. This of course after I recently bought a set of NOS handles, and got my NOS ignition switch from him - among many other great interactions for other cars over the years.
Stellar service every. single. time.
Thanks Gabriel! _________________ Mike

Gabriel does it again! I sent him my two door handles and an ignition switch. The ignition switch was not correct for my year ('66), so he supplied one and matched it to the door lock cylinders which he repaired and rebuilt. Fantastic job! Thank you Gabriel! |

Gabriel provided an original Huf key blank, cut it to the door lock code for my early Type 3, and shipped it promptly. The key works perfectly, Thanks Gabriel! _________________ "Criticism comes easier than Craftsmanship"

Gabriel was awesome to work with. I had a really worn back up ignition key for my 65 bus and wanted to get some spares. Quick email with a pic of the key and a quick response set me up to have the keys in 3 days. Great to do business with. Would buy from him anytime.

Gabriel rebuilt my original door handle lock as good as new. Quick turnaround, fair price, and amazing workmanship. Thanks! _________________ http://vwpostcard.com

Top notch service. Have a P code split ignition tumbler and no keys. Not only did he have the blanks, he cut them to the code, shipped them out same day and got them just a couple days later. They worked flawlessly. Very impressed and highly recommend Gabriel! _________________ *Past*

Gabriel supplied a rebuilt Ghia ignition barrel and cut a Ghia hood lock I got sent to him for me and picked up early that the door key I had and the door codes i gave him didn't match from photos.
All sorted and sent to Australia without an issue and the parts all work perfectly.
I'm glad there is still his level of knowledge in our hobby.
Thanks! |
