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.

Ken is the best. He always comes thru for me on parts. Never a problem. Thanks Ken _________________ "Most people don't know what they're doing, and a lot of them are really good at it." - George Carlin |

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! _________________ 1968 Deluxe "Clipper L" Type 2

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

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. _________________ -Harry

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. _________________ -Harry

Ken is an asset to the air-cooled community.
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. _________________ www.zwerks.ca |

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😀 _________________ Lead Mechanic: San Diego Air and Space Museum

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. _________________ 73 Thing (Typ481)
