I have had 2 great purchases from Ken at thebusco.com. First was a metal dash and 2nd was the air flap parts. Great response, fast shipping and good pricing.

I would highly recommend

Just got a rebuilt fuel gauge sender from Ken. He made the whole transaction smooth and easy. Can't wait to install it and have a working gauge again. Thanks again Ken!

Ken's got my vote for best ACVW person to deal with.
Responds quickly and ships out as promised.

Got some Bay steering parts from Ken, he's old-school and super nice to deal with.

I mentioned to Ken I was looking for an air cleaner for my bus, and he sent me pictures of what he had at a good price. I received it quickly, well packed, and as expected. I would purchase from him again. He’s a good and honest Samba seller.

I purchased a couple of bus rear seat clamps from Ken, and they arrived well packaged and as expected. Working with Ken was easy, and I would certainly purchase from him again.

Ken is an asset to the air-cooled community. Thumbs Up

He was prompt & clear with communication, showed clear photos of the part in the ad, packaged up the carb extremely well, and the price w/ postage was very reasonable. Thanks Ken, much appreciated.

Not sure who Josh is but Ken is my friend and the sole owner/operator of a VW Bus dismantler yard known as Busco or TheBusco. Great guy, fast shipping, great prices. I even get a kickback for saying that😀

Bought a dizzy clamp for my '78 CE Westfalia. Flawless transaction. Fair price. Immediate shipping. Highly recommended.

I found the parts I needed, got a shipped price, paid and had the parts three days later. That's the way it is supposed to be done. Thanks Ken.

Just received my European 12v dash outlet for my Westfalia. Fair price, great condition, good communication, packaged nicely and quick delivery. Thanks Ken, I wish other sellers were as honest and honorable as you! Best Wishes, Bob

I made a purchase from Ken and was very pleased. Good communication, fast shipping. Wish more transactions went as this one did. Will keep an eye on Ken's ads!
