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😀

Not sure who Ken is, but Thebusco (Josh) got my order to me super fast, and the part was far cheaper than the others listed here.

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!

I bought some heater box parts for our '72 Westy. Very happy with the parts and would not hesitate to buy from Ken again. Thanks!

I have bought parts from Ken over the internet a couple of times over the years, and have always been satisfied with the transaction. Today, I got to meet him in person for the first time, and what a treat! Ken is one of the original bus guys in the scene around here, and is just one of the best old school guys you could ever want to meet. He is easy going, knowledgeable, and is happy to talk to you as long as you're willing to stand there.

He showed me his stock room while we were visiting, and he has literally thousands of parts. If you need anything for your Bay, give Ken a shout!

Thanks again,rc

Ken is a tremendous asset to the VW community.
I bought a pair of bus headrests from him. They are in great shape, just as advertised.

He took the time to answer my questions promptly, and was very helpful. He worked with me to arrange pickup, saving me shipping costs.

I would not hesitate to do business with the man again, thanks Ken. Dancing

Ken is the man......
Let me say that again....
Ken is the man....

I needed a wiper switch for my 73 Westy.
Ken had a very nice one for a very low price (in comparison to what others want).
He responded to my inquiry VERY quickly.
He shipped it THE SAME DAY that I purchased it.

It only took 2 days to receive it (Washington State to Kentucky)

I am just blown away by his professionalism, courtesy, and pricing.

Thank you, Sir

Ken was very helpful and fast to respond to my questions. The part was shipped immediately once the transaction was complete. I would definitely recommend using his services to anyone.
Thanks for great service.
