Aircooled Haus

"Jeff is very helpful and he loves VWs too."

"They completely redid the wiring, added vacuum assist brakes, reconnected the shift rod that was damaged. Very great job and finished it 1 month sooner than expected. Very thankful highly recommend 1966 camper."

"Dennis did a great job on my bus. He treated me fairly and completed the work on schedule. I had to wait a few days for my appointment and it was certainly worth it! I highly recommend them"

"Well this will be the first time i have ever left negative feedback for a business. I bought a built, turnkey 1600 single port motor from Dennis at Aircooled Haus a few years back. Within the first month i noticed a lot of oil leaking out the bottom of motor. I called Dennis who told me to bring her back in and he would take care of it. After dropping it back off and waiting a week for it to get fixed he called and said it was done. I drove 40+ miles again to pick her up and drive home. She did good for a week and then after a longer drive i noticed it was leaking again. So i called Dennis, took her the 40+ miles again and he fixed it again. So another week goes by and guess what?? yep, she started dripping again and getting hot this time. Called Dennis who said the Warranty period was over, it turned magically into a "30 day warranty on the motor". But he offered to look at it again for a "discounted rate". Well at this point i had enough. Moe from West Coast Core was coming into town for a show and offered to bring me a good motor. He said he would deduct the core from Aircooled Haus's motor when we got them swapped out. This are the actual pictures taking from Aircooled Haus's motor when Moe took their motor apart and split the case. The case had gauges out of it, that was the reason for the constant oil leaks. Dennis and his shop could have kept putting new sealant on the case until the cows came home and it would have never sealed. The core was so bad that Moe could not use it and it went straight into the dumpster. We also noticed the oil cooler's seals where so smashed that it was not allowing a good oil flow into the cooler, hence the overheating issue. So in short, i wasted $5,000 on a new motor from Aircooled Haus. I am doing this so hopefully i can save someone else from doing the same. I think Aircooled Has are good guys and experienced mechanics. But i also think they have no business building new motors if they can not even get the blocks correct. And shame on you Dennis for the thrown in "30 day warranty" on a brand new motor! I have all the text messages documented, pictures taking and i am contemplating a lawsuit to hopefully recoup some of my wasted money. Diagnosing motor issues and fixing i think you are safe. Building new motors and you should avoid them like the plague!!"
