I've never bought a bus from him but I did call on a few when I was searching for mine. He seemed very informative and a stand up guy. He told me the good and the bad of everyhing he had that I was interested in. _________________ '66 13 window camper

Seems like Gibbs had issues with this guy in the past...
did you do a search in the buyer/seller feedback section yet? _________________ "Saying what we think gives us a wider conversational range than saying what we know."

I have bought and sold cars through Drew many times and have been happy each time. Every deal was fair and honest. No complaints from me. _________________ Aircooled Vintage Works

Drews shop is right down the street from my house. I have met him on several occasions, and know people who have delt with him on both buying and selling. He is a top notch seller, and very honest with his descriptions!
I would not hesitate to do business with him! _________________ To his their own PBJ

I have just received a van from colome motors to my home in Scotland bought unseen, the van was as described and I found Drew helpful, but he is a very busy man so don't be afraid to phone him if you have not heard from him when expected. I am very pleased with his service and would use him again in the future. |

I have not yet purchased a bus from Drew - I cant afford the buses he currently has in stock - but I have spoken with him and he took the time to go over the details about pretty much all of his inventory and gave me some good advice on what to look for, and avoid. He wasn't giving the hard sell - I dont think he really has to as the buses he has pretty much sell themselves. The relisting of the ads on buses that have sold and the lack of any pricing info on the ads ($ASK) is bit annoying, but if he doesnt mind all the calls asking "how much?" then I guess its not a huge issue. |

Not a bus, but an early 60's decklid spring. The spring was perfect and well priced. Drew is obviously very busy and took some time to sort the postage (as he was out of the country), but I was very happy with the spring, which is like new.

I have recently purchased items from Drew, and am very disapointed with the service and lack of comunication. I specified a method of shipping and requested a tracking number in the initial transaction, niether of the conditions were meet. Please see my attached email to him regarding my concerns, and his response.
Hey Drew,
Whats up?? You said, and I quote " I am out of town. Monday I will send it."
When I agreed to purchase these Sun Visors I was very specific about the shipping method that I required, and you charged me extra for it! Then you sent it out a differant way than we agreed without contacting me because you said it was more money. Had you contacted me I would have gladly paid the extra amount for the requested UPS. I ordered a radio from Germany and receved it 3 days later. I am now in a situation where I have given you funds over two weeks ago, and have no idea where my items are and I find you comunication is poor to say the least. I am surprised as your feed back on the Samba seems to be all positive. In addition it apears had I waited a couple day there was the same item I paid $400 for on the Samba for sale for $250 including the mirror. Please provide me with a tracking number or I will have to report this transaction to Paypal as well as the Samba.
Regards,
Todd Ollenberger
His response was as follows:
They have already been sent. I am out of town and have other priorities. They are on the way. Out of town buying cars.
Drew
I don't know is it just me?? Judge for yourself! |

First deal with Drew. No problem with him
The parcel was well protected, and the shipment was fast. Drew has answered all my email and gave me a tracking number for the package
Drew is an excellent seller. |

He said it was shipped and now claims that the place I requested it to be sent is a bad part of town. I have never had this bad experience before. Maybe he is selective on who he deals with or where it goes. Just maybe. Or are some parts just not worth his time? Not consistent if that is the case. Am very disappointed. |

Well, "no good deed goes unpunished" as they say!
About 6 months ago, Drew contacted me and asked me about my brother's (Jehu) home made car "rotisserie" he, said he was gonna be working on a bus and that he was looking to rent it from us, I told him that we were not using it at the time and that it was fine.
He sent a guy to pick it up from Jehu's garage, and that was the last we heard from him, not a call, not an email, text, facebook message nothing!
5 months later I saw some pictures he posted on FB and saw my brother's rotisserie:
I contacted the guy that actually picked up the rotisserie from us and asked him what was going on with Drew, he responded that he was just hired to work on the belly pans on one bus and that as far as he knew that was done and over with long ago!
I messaged Drew and asked him what was going on?
January 27th/2014
Gabriel:
Wondering about my brother's rotisserie taken from R*** to work on one of your buses! It's been a while and we have not heard from either R*** or you! Gabriel.
Drew:
The wheels came off at the welds. We bought nice nice wheels and replaced them.
Then we made a much better frame. I will see where it's at and get back to you the rotisserie or something better.
Just got back in town on the red eye last night.
Gabriel:
We'll be ac OCTO in a few weeks
(OCTO Feb came, no Drew, no Rotisserie, no call, no message)
Feb 09
Gabriel:
Drew, not to be a pest, but I'm wondering when can you deliver the rotisserie that you borrowed from us, we have a car we need to work on and will need it soon! Gabriel.
Feb 11th
Drew:
Gabriel, No pest. Leave me your number. Give me your address. Will get it done. Drew949.903.xxxx
Gabriel:
214/673-1033 9510 Friant St Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730
And here we are, no rotisserie, no money, no call, no email, no interest! I'm puzzled here!
Definitely last time ever, trusting anyone with anything!
Will keep you posted as this unfolds! _________________ Visit my website: http://gabvwkey.com
