Newbie question here, apologies if I am the only one that does not know these folks, but given that an engine seems like a kind of important part of a car I wanted to ask.
I am looking at a car that has a rebuilt engine by this shop and was hoping for some feedback on if they are a known and trusted go-to. Thanks! |

I've been going there since I was a teenager. Ed is an awesome engine builder and super reasonable in price! I have friends that have also had engines rebuilt by them from the 90's that are still running strong today. |

No, they have been at this location from day one I believe. I've been buying parts from them since the 80's |

I don't know anything about GAP, but my long time Austrian born & factory trained on the 914 in 1969 mechanic exclusively uses Tuttle's in LA area.
http://www.tuttlesvwparts.com/contact/ I vote with my guy Hans, since my 73 was rebuilt by them in 1983, & my 88 Vanagon WBX was replaced by them in `99 (rod through top of case ended the original motor), & both had/have several years & many miles on them. That's my 2 cents! Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |
