"Great work on my 1991 Vanagon! ❤️❤️❤️"

"FAS has a huge reputation as the best, slow...but worth the wait. I waited a year then delivered my vanagon for an engine replacement. A huge investment so wanted the "best." They had my vehicle for months knowing I was leaving for a cross country trip late August. I got my bus back a month or so before my trip only to discover it made a loud vibration/sound when travelling between 55 - 65mph and brakes that pulsated. I brought it back, a 3 1/2 hour trip one way, for an assessment. They thought it was the transmission (a transmission rebuild was part of the work they did for me) so they requested the third party who did the transmission work to send a "new" gear box. Again I waited. The gear box was installed the day before I left on my cross country trip (7 hours of driving when I should have been packing!) They charged me an additional $2000 for the gear box and it didnt fix the problem! The bus broke down in Phoenix due to a rotted power steering hose. Why didnt FAS replace this hose??? The AZ mechanic (a lifelong VW bus mechanic) quickly assessed the root of the noise/vibration being do to there only being two motor mounts instead of the tradition three mounts used in the VW Jetta. He informed me there was no solution to the problem:( On the trip I calculated my mpg and found it to range between 15-17 mpg. FAS stated it should be in the low to mid 20s, but offered no reason for my poor mpg, just stated I could drive back to Maine and they would look at it. A year previous, when discussing the engine replacement, Chris at FAS said they would hold a spot in the Fall/winter 2019/2020 schedule to do a full body repair/rubber/paint. When I contacted him just recently I was told they were running behind 1 to 2 years! I hope my experience is not the norm. Normally I dont post negative experiences, but in case this is not an isolated experience, I felt other van owners should know."

"Friendly people. Dropped off a VW westfalia for restoration. Thanks again"

"Always a pleasure doing business with FAS."

"We had communication issues, that led to a few unpleasant emails. I've heard nothing but good things about them, I've even heard they are the best at what they do. My VW dreams are dead, they were my last hope. I wanted a sticker, and ended up with sticker shock. Assessment was not what I was expecting, I'm sure our interaction was not normal."
