The folks at BusLab really know their stuff. Theyve been helping me get my Vanagon in good shape again and Im very satisfied 👍If you want professionals working on your Van, you should check them out.

Adrian was very helpful. They’re always booked but it’s because they do quality work. If you want it done right and don’t mind the wait come here.

Enthusiast run shops are always the best. Marco and his team knows the Vanagon better than anyone.

Great source for vanagon parts

I bought a part from Bus Lab for my 88 Westfalia. They shipped it within minutes of the order. It was here in less than a week. The part is perfect. Flawless transaction.

I have invested a large sum of money in a Subaru engine replacement and am very disappointed in its reliability. I have been back several times, and my Synchro runs no better now than it did before the replacement. Repairs apart from the rebuild were shoddy as well. I hope we can still work it out....

Buslab is awesome! I own a VW repair shop in Bellingham WA and am so impressed by their team. They often have hard to find parts, things that are out of stock everywhere else, and are always top quality. They are extremely dedicated to the VW craft just like us at Reference Automotive. Thank you for keeping the VW spirit alive! Buslab will always be our go to! Thank you thank you!

Very friendly good service

This place is the best for Vanagons! If your bus is making a fuss, these folks got you!

They did great work, so the five stars. I was tempted to take one off, because I had to call twice and both times they said yeah, its ready I was annoyed they hadnt called me. But the with they did was excellent.

Very over priced. And the people that work here are very full of themselves. Great if you want to pay double for the same service you could get somewhere else. Also theres nowhere to park and its in a terrible neighborhood.

Great folks, thank you!

Freaking awesome! Clean shop, knowledgeable people, great Chocolate lab

Best service and advice for Vanagon and Bus Owners

I stopped by Bus Lab totally unannounced with a concerning gas leak problem. This problem popped up while camping and I was several miles from home. Even though they were super busy, they welcomed me in and fixed the problem fast, getting me back on the road and saving me from being stranded far from home. They even gave me a coupon for a free coffee down the street! The whole experience was easy and everyone was really friendly and welcoming.

Needed a gas cap for an 85 camper van, looked everywhere and found it here for a great price

Wow! We were looking to purchase a 76 bus off Craigslist, but were a little worried about the problems the owner described. We called into the shop to get an opinion on the scope of the work and the man we spoke to was spectacular (EDIT: Thank you Adrian!!!). Thank you so much! He walked us through multiple scenarios and the cost breakdown. So thorough and helpful! If this is the level of service provided over the phone to a would-be customer then they have all of our future business!!

Amazing quality of work and customer service. The people here can literally do anything you need done on a VW Vanagon.

These guys have saved my ass TWICE when Ive been in a pinch driving through the area in my 85 Vanagon. Amazing team. THANK YOU!

I will add one more star if they clean up some of the junkyard scrap littering the surrounding area.

The only place we will take our Westie, we have been to all of the bay area shops n this one is my choice of the best. Why might you ask, no long strung out conversation unless youre getting educated by Dan, no BS from Marco or Adrian the service writers who have no problem sliding under a bus and getting their hands dirty.Theres more than a few shops to choose from and all have some good reviews but if you try here Im gonna bet youll stay.With this noted they get booked up a couple weeks in advance alot so plan ahead if you can.

Very knowledgeable vanagon shop. Fair pricing. Good inventory.

Marco and the team there are masters in the art of Vanagon repairs. Clean space, nice people, reasonable fees.

My partner and I showed up unannounced seeking advisement on how to buy a Vanagon worth its cost. We were welcomed, a moment was spared, and guidance was shared freely with us.

Beautiful place

Wizards! My 1990 Vanagon power windows were haunted by a malevolent unfathomable force. When it was clear that science would not bring the demon under foot, BusLab did not waiver, they faced the challenge with arcane and blasphemous techniques, and subdued the unclean wind demon. They never gave up, did the mystical work for free, and exorcised the mighty Pazuzu! I can still hear the windows quietly chant Pazuzu as they rise to face the wind but now he is completely in my thrall! I am now master of the wind thanks to BusLab!

Marco is one of the best Germans working on Volkswagens, Bay area has to offer!

I met Marco on hollidays camping while I had some trouble with my VW . Without a second thought he was over at my campsite testing and diagnosing my troubles. He even started pulling parts from his van to test on mine, sure enough he honed in on the problem in short order . He refused any pay and I totally appreciate his efforts. If you have a VW in the Berkeley area I highly recommend you take it to a great guy like Marco.

I drove our 85 bus from Buslab across 17 states, maybe 10k miles last summer. A few oil changes along the way . That was it. Asheville nc vw bus restore/repair shop i took her to for a look over was impressed as well.

Extremely professional and courteous! Great at diagnosing big or small problems with your VW Bus. BusLab found out was causing flapping noises on the highway and repaired the seal around the pop-up camper shell to my 87 Vanagon. They also found out what caused my instrument lights to not work when I could not find a fix.

They know vw

Cool guys
