Bought some rear body pieces off of Greg. He sent many great pictures and was very informative about the body pieces. He even wire wheeled some of the parts so I could see the channel that is normally rusty in the hatch area. Thanks for the great transaction Greg! Hope to do business again!

I purchased a karmann ghia windshield from Greg. He then purchases the glass from Mygrant Glass Company and you go to there local warehouse to pick it up. When I installed the glass with a German molded corner seal with T style trim in a 67 ghia the glass was too short and there was a gap at the top and the seal was not fully secured. I contacted Greg about this issue and he said he would work on a return. He later then told me I could not return it. I then called and talked to the manager at my local Mygrant glass where I picked up the glass and was told the glass could be returned if greg called them or set up a return online. Greg then refused to set up the return. I have now started a PayPal dispute to get refunded for the windshield because it is unusable.

I bought a seat back's material from Greg and the transaction was not smooth or easy, but it did get done. After a month of back and forth and reminder e-mails, He did send out the seat back material, and I received it. He did provide lots of pictures before he sent it (which was awesome!), and it looked as expected when it arrived.

I finally got a refund! Man, it was like pulling teeth to get Greg to do the right thing. It took a relative of mine having to fake interest in an item Greg had for sale, which Greg responded to his emails promptly and frequently. In turn Everett Barnes did a great job in having Greg man-up to either ship the t-bars i paid for or refund my money.

I really don't know what Gregs deal is? He logs in regularly to TheSamba, updates his ads and yet is going to burn me for some stupid T-bars. He promised to refund $50 he got from me when he felt it was easier to do so then shipping out the t-bars due to a broken leg. I can't believe someone is willing to burn someone else over 50 measly dollars. What a LOSER! Rolling Eyes

FYI to future purchasers with G's Spot VW in Tehachapi California. It seems the guy has been in really bad shape, so i'm not going to hassle him too much for the $50 refund he owes me. He does have almost 200 other items up For Sale here on TheSamba so i would be interested to find out if/when he resumes selling again.

I'm going to check the mailbox in a bit to check for my refund. If nothing is in the mail than it will be another week of wait-and-see.

Don't want to bad mouth this seller so i'll ask first, anyone know Greg or drive by his shop? About a month ago i paid him for some early beetle T-bars which he acknowledged receiving payment, AND then he fell off the face of the earth. I have not recieved the t-bars and he won't return my email, pms or phone calls. H-E-L-P

Bought a roof clip from Greg. He packed it well for a Greyhound shipment and there was no damage cross country.
The roof was just as he described it and he even threw in some extras.
Good man.
Recommend. Will deal with again.

Bought some sheet metal repair pieces for my bay window from Greg. He sent me some extra pieces he had in addition to what I paid for. Great seller, I will buy from Greg again!

I bought a lower A pillar/front quarter donor section off of Greg. I sent him a few pics of what I needed and he sent some pics back of what he had. We agreed on a price, he cut off the section, packaged it nicely and it was at my door shortly thereafter. Would buy from again.

Greg offers quality parts and superior customer service. He maintained
good contact throughout our transaction, packed my part nicely and shipped in a timely manner. Judging by the contact I had with him and the part I received Greg is conscientious and skilled at his craft. Would do business with
G's Spot Volkswagen again.

Greg is an outstanding seller. Worked with me on logistics for the part I needed. Shipped part and arrived the next day. I would be happy to buy/work with him again.

I just bought a 71 super with no motor advertised as a rust free Ca. car. 43 years old with no rust is kind of hard to believe, but I needed a body and took a chance. The car arrived yesterday and I can't believe that there is absolutely no rust at all. I would recommend buying anything that Greg is selling as he is certainly a man of his word. Thanks again Greg.
