Have done a couple handfuls of transactions with Chris from www.bustedbus.com and He as always been most helpful on many fronts. With his time and knowledge he has shared greatly on many occasions even when I did not purchase a thing. His efforts in helping me get the very best right parts for my Westy's restoration have been with out limits. I would recommend no one else when it comes to finding the best used quality parts. thanks again Chris for all your help. www.bustedbus.com ROCKS..... _________________ Special Thanks to:

Just had to repost it because it so so true. I just got a very hard to find collapsable cot for my 79 Westy from Chris and its a great quality product. Chris also in the past days has given me great info and contacts to help in all my projects. THe best resource for used parts by far. _________________ Special Thanks to:

I must say Chris has the customer service thing down. Excellent Excellent vendor to deal with. He has helped me out so much with my restoration. Today I called bustedbus.com for a rushed part as my bus is up on lift in pieces. Chris is like a VW super hero, he sprang into action and is hand picking part and planning to hand deliver or expidite shipping to my mechanic. Bustedbus.com is by far the best place you can spend your money. Quality parts, great wisdom, and super bad ass customer service. Thank you Chris again for another great experience. _________________ Special Thanks to:

Through Matt's ((((GLOWING)))) recommendation I contacted Chris for some tin for my '79. He came through, he shipped and I received it as promised within a few days. I'm sure I'll be going back again.

I've ordered numerous parts from Chris at BustedBus. He's hugely knowledgeable, an expert through and through. Not only does he answer my questions, but answers some of those questions that I didn't know I had while he's at it. His customer service and communication is absolutely topnotch. Extremely fast shipping. Excellent parts. I'll be a repeat customer for a long time into the future, as long as Chris keeps at it; he's my first stop (and if he cannot provide the parts I needed, he always sends me to places that can). Absolutely fantastic.
I recommend BustedBus and Chris extremely highly, with no reservations whatsoever. He's made my Bus restoration and maintenance possible and enjoyable, and I've learned A LOT along the way. |

Contacted Chris at BustedBus for a few small pieces that I couldn't get from friends and local buses. Sent him some pictures of my worn out/missing parts, he had them in the mail soon after and they arrived today.
Thanks! _________________ Mike

I've purchased a few items from Chris at BustedBus. I love that he takes your project and your needs to heart and tries to find parts that meet your needs. If he can't find it in his stock, he will help you find it elsewhere.
From a business perspective, Busted Bus is top notch. From a personal perspective, Chris is very knowledgeable, personal, engaging, and and a true mensch.
He is on a short list of businesses that I buy from and fully trust.
Thanks Chris! _________________ '78 Deluxe Westy - Loose Lucy (where I rest peacefully)

I needed a part that is NLA new, and no one seemed to have one nearby. I contacted Busted Bus and they got right back to me.
Not only did they have the part, it was reasonably priced.
They shipped it right away, and even cleaned it up for me.
Couldn't be happier with the service. If you need a part, definitely give Busted Bus a try. _________________ Eric

Bustedbus is a first rate seller. I was looking for a replacement engine lid, and they took the time to promptly answer my questions and email me photos of what was available. I would have zero hesitation dealing with them again. _________________ www.zwerks.ca |

First time experience; I ordered a Westy seat support bracket at 9am this morning. Then left to get a haircut and came home to find the part in excellent condition sitting on my doorstep. Now that is what I call customer service. Thank you! _________________ Darel

Very easy to deal with! Good prices! I will definitely be back for other parts. Recommend giving them a try. They even ate some of the shipping cost. Great deal. _________________ 64 SC truck.

Hi All,
Having founded Bustedbus in late 1999, I sold the business to Chris in 2006. As Chris has moved into retirement I was blessed to be offered the opportunity to take it back over!
While it’s like riding a bike I have been out of the bus world for a long time. Its roots were in the early ages of e-commerce which I have been working on re-establishing over the past several months with a new online store.
www.bustedbus.store ….. you may notice that the old .com domain now points to the store but we are for sure the same old grass roots used parts supplier. I am streamlining the ordering process so that I can focus on inventory acquisition and cataloging inventory.
In celebration of the new site I am offering a limited time 20% discount (code: Thesamba) on all products and Free Economy shipping for all orders over $100. This should be helpful as I get a handle on new market pricing. You can image the values have changed over the last 15 years, both in the availability of new aftermarket products and depletion of used parts inventory.
You can always call with questions and while I can still feel my way around with my eyes closed, if I can’t answer right away Chris loves it when I reach out to tap his vast superior knowledge. Please feel free to say hi and thank you to Chris for all his amazing work and I will forward, your love and appreciation

I had been watching the Samba classifieds for quite a while looking for a late Westy arm rest and I was having no luck. I sent Joe at Bustedbus an email and a few days later I had a beautiful arm rest. Thanks Joe. I will definitely be back for more bus stuff. _________________ 73 Thing (Typ481)
