"What can I say -- Chuck is the greatest! He not only supplied all the new & restored parts for my '79 Convert, most of them German, more importantly, he walked be through every step of a 2-year restoration. His expert guidance made it happen!"

"Chuck, How's it going? It's Rohan from Australia - I've finally finished my 64 cabrio and thought I'd send a couple of pictures of the end result for your website. Factory convertibles are pretty rare in Australia, and as such, this car draws much attention, and has already won its first trophy, and been lined up for a magazine feature here in Oz. Thanks again for your help with parts."

"Dear Chuck, Just a short note to compliment you on your friendliness, and just plain normal attitude on the phone... what a breath of fresh air! Usually, you have to endure someone that makes you feel like you're imposing by wanting to buy anything. Thank you for your help, and if you're ever in Garberville, I'll buy you a cup of coffee!
God bless you,"

"Chuck, Your supplies thus far have been the kind of quality that make a restoration a real pleasure along with your tidbits on how to get the job done.The only insane expense I found this far was from buying second rate parts before finding your shop and getting spoiled by items that actually fit! thanks for all your help!"

"Chuck,
[In regards to your top restoration service] When I got the top back, I had a hard time believing it was the same frame I had send off to you. Everything was straight, rust free, and re-assembled like new. The top fit perfectly the first time I put it on the car - all I did was bolt it in and adjust the tension cable. I had prepared myself for an all-day job, but I think it took me under two hours. I'm really glad I decided to splurge on the canvas too because it looks sharp against the light blue of the car.
All the other parts I ordered from you were of very high quality too. Everything I purchased - window chrome, rubber seals, carpets, and door panels - fit properly the first time.
It was a labor of love, but now that it's finished, I'm extremely pleased. Thanks for all your help."
"Chuck,
I want to thank you for all of your assistance. I now have a great VW with the correct parts. I will continue to recommend you to anyone that needs convertible parts or advice. You have spent lots of your valuable time answering my numerous questions and provided expert answers. I appreciate your patience."

"Hi Chuck,
Don't know if you'll remember us, we bought your convertible book back in August/Sept.2007 and Andy worked on the top for 3 months. We called you a lot during that time, but he finally got it on. Put it on the road just after Christmas and it's been going since... Thanks for all your help. "
