I have purchased a number of type 3 parts from Mike over the past year. Seems he always has a couple cars he's wrenching into parts.

Many happy years ahead while i try to get my notch on the road.

Thanks Mike!

I am very happy with Mike and the heater channels he sent me cut-to -order. Just the right size and exactly what he advertised, and exactly what I got. Sorry Mike apparantly my cell phone pictures are too big to post here. I will do business with Mike again if I ever need anything else.

I recently bought some parts from Mike for my 63 square.I had written in the forum that a part broke while I was installing it and he sent me an email telling me he had the part and the price( which was very fair)He was awesome with communicating and the parts were what he described. I would definitely do business with him again. Thanks Mike

Mike is a very great guy and was a pleasure to do business with! Got a set of white steel wheels for my baja in really great shape! Thanks again Mike!

Just picked up Mike's lowback seat set for a project of mine. Seats are in great shape and worth the asking price. Thanks for the seats and the tour of your VW business, Mike!

just got some Squareback inner fenders from Mike. He cut them out great and they should work fine for me. Right after I sent payment he had them cut out, packaged, and shipped in no time....

Now if only I could leave some grief to Greyhound... but not Mike's fault!

Thanks Mike!

I want to say thank you to Mike Fisher. I purchased a pair of late model Type 3 bumpers from him, and they are Exactly what I was looking for to use with my upcoming project. Thank you for helping me out with them.

I bought two complete 65-66 squareback fenders from Mike. From the get go he was emailing me about the transaction. Everything went smooth including the shipping.

I can tell he is a very honest guy because he let me know of every little imperfection on the fenders before sending them out. It was a nice feeling when dealing with someone strickly over emails.

Great seller. Mike sent me a used door panel so I could trace and make a new one. He also did it for the cost of shipping only! What a guy. thanks Mike

[ac509]

Mike hooked me up with a perfect cowl section. Fair price and fast shipping. I hope he has a pair of late model type 3 front turn signal housings because I need them and Mike is the best guy to buy from.

Mike has always been willing to sell off some of his spare parts, and he does so quickly and at a fair price.

This time around it was a fuel pressure regulator that came in great condition, timely, and at a terrific price.

Thanks Mike!

Unfortunately I have to leave some negative feedback for a recent deal with Mike. He advertised "unmarked '70 front & rear sections to cut/ship". I contacted him about inner front fender sections to replace mine. Mike assured me the pieces he had were in his words "not unmarked, but will be fine if you sandblast them". He sent photos which appeared to show some solid sections.

When I received the box I found it contained what appeared to be completely rusted through sections of metal. After a bit of cleaning I found the key pieces I needed to be unusable as they were like Swiss cheese. I showed them to a shop that will do the repairs and they were not thrilled to try and repair these.

I immediately asked Mike if he would consider a refund less shipping and something for his labor. Basically $225 which is the cost he charged for one section. I ended up paying over $500 including shipping and customs fees for items I can't use. Mike has refused to compromise or provide any remedy to this situation.

Unfortunately I can't recommend or justify using him ever again. Really bad experience.

I offered the only pieces I had left with pictures & apologized that they were rusty, but you wanted something to give your bodyman. You bought them & I cut them to your dimensions and shipped them overseas to you. If you only end up using 1/2 of them that doesn't necessarily mean I have to refund 1/2.

$450 was my total PayPal price shipped to Europe. I had started to cut out one side 6 months earlier, so I had to cut an extra piece to give you all the length you wanted & you were aware of it.

You are clearly missing the point Mike. YOU MISREPRESENTED THE ITEMS YOU SOLD. Where you shipped them is irrelevant. I paid 450 to you and 75 to get the pieces out of customs. Look I get it . You don't care since you got your money. I'm stuck with pieces of metal I can't use. Lesson learned. Moving on.

I just had a great experience with Mike.

The glove box knob on my Squareback broke and I was unable to open the box without destroying the knob. I posted about it on a long-running thread I have in the Type 3 forum and within an hour or so, Mike had PM'd me that he had a knob available. It arrived a few days later in excellent condition.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy from Mike again. He's a valued member of the Type 3 community and is always willing to help out.

Got to give Mike mad props yet again for a sunroof clip I bought. Mike and I have done lots of deals back and forth over the years and it's always been really great.

I want to say that I am sort of really scratching my head over the negative exchange that I discovered above. I remember Mike and Diglobal1 (Dave) discussing this sheet metal publicly in the Type 3 forums here:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7322123#7322123

specifically on page 7, where Mike posted rather detailed multiple pictures of the very rusty sheet metal in question and even stated it was the rustiest sheet metal he's ever sold in addition to detailing that some of the stuff was pre- cut and would require piecing together. Dave, your response was:

[Glenn]

A friend needed a body part for his Fasty and Mike came through when no one else had it.

Thanks Mike.
