VW Repair Shops. Sunshine Auto Garage. Snug Harbor Place Sarasota, Florida 3. Phone: 9. 41. 3. 65. Fax: 7. 74. 93. 09. Owner: Francis Type Of Shop: VW repair Will Work On: Air- cooled and some watercooled. Snug Harbor Place. Near 3. 01 and 1. Sarasota. Name changed to Sunshine Auto Garage from Volks Repair because of VW's concern about using the word . As most Vanagon owners are, I am very particular about who touched my van and find myself uncomfortable around most mechanics. After a bit or research, I found myself at their shop and they were able to slot me in for the next day so I could continue on my journey. The repairs were done professionally and neatly. The price was as agreed to and fair. I left with a high degree of confidence knowing the repair was done right with a great touch for service. Great guys that I was happy to find so far away form my home in Toronto. My visit was back in March but I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to share this experience. Greg. Shop Rating: Excellent.

I dropped my 7. 3 Super Beetle off and she hadn't been running in a year. Two days after I dropped her off they called and said she was ready! She runs great now and I couldn't be happier! I am so glad I have my baby back! They are very nice too! I will definitely be going there for all my repair needs. Seriously everyone with an antique Volkswagen go here to get work done. They are honest and have reasonable prices too. Wrecking Yard In Sierra Vista Owned By Brian Root DeathThey definitely know what they are doing and are very experienced. I could not be any happier..

The tow company brought us to the local VW Dealership (not Sunshine) for repair. After several phone calls, almost 2 weeks & broken parts, (by the repair tech) we finally got our car back and left them with a couple thousand dollars of our money. As it turned out they caused more issues than they fixed and we became very familiar with the Tow company and their employees. Finally on one of the tows the driver suggested we go to Sunshine Auto, which we did. Ron was Great. He said that he doesn't really work on water cooled VW's but he'd help us out. Thank goodness. Not only did he get our baby running again, he fixed all of the . I Highly recommend Sunshine Auto Garage. Great people and work. Shop Rating: Excellent. Recommended. Report Date: 0. We experienced a problem with our 8. Vanagon while in Florida. He corrected it and we continued with our trip, for another 2. When car arrived it was even better than described and I am over the moon !!! Dempsey writes: Francis and Ron couldn't have done a better job on my 1. Westfalia. My chance to recover it from its garaged tomb in south Florida began when I received orders to Jacksonville Fl. I currently live in an apartment/condo with limited space and no garage, so the repairs would be unrealistic for me to perform in a condo driveway setting. One week went by. Once on the phone, they had no idea what I was talking about, as if I had never visited there in person. So I looked to take my business elsewhere.. I emailed them what needed to be done to get the bus in running order and within a day Francis responded they could, and would be happy to tackle the project. Francis agreed to allow us to drop off the bus on a Saturday, and meet him at his shop. These guys truly love what they do! They have my best recommendation for a mechanic on the Florida Gulf Coast area! Thank you! Shop Rating: Excellent. Recommended. Report Date: 0. Keith writes: Travelling the country in our '6. Westy, we needed help in Sarasota, and Fran and Ronnie were kind enough to squeeze us in- despite their full schedule. He checked/ adjusted the valves, checked the compression, regapped the plugs, adjusted the carb, and finally deduced that the issue was the timing, which of course, he reset, (maybe not in that order). We will definitely stop back and visit Fran and Ron again if we're ever in town, for help or just to say 'hi'! Really can't say enough about their honesty and work! When your travelling, you're really at a mechanics mercy, and these guys did us righteous! If you're in Sarasota and need anything for your aircooled ride, don't hesitate to call for an appointment, or even just advice- if they can, they'll help you out!

Baja Bug so I had a little experience but not nearly enough to make a good decision. We live in Naples, FL and I ran across Sunshine during my attempts to find the right bus for our family. I had no idea what to ask or how to even search. Fran was VERY patient with us, answering our questions a providing the sage advice only years of experience can bring. He offered to help us find a van and after a few months we found an awesome 7. Wrecking Yard In Sierra Vista Owned By Brian Root BrecksvilleUSA : Alabama: Doctor Dave's Automotive 1022 Haywood Rd.

Rob Wallace writes: Let me add to the long and growing list of Sunshine fans! Here's my story. Then I remembered this shop in Florida - Sunshine - that had done the restoration on my cousin's 7. Beetle cabrio. What the heck, I'll give 'em a call and see what they know. AMAZING condition. While the price was at the high end of my range, this is a REAL needle in a haystack bus. Completely OG (minus the hubcaps), running beautifully, perfect sunroof. I wish they were closer to home for those inevitable future repairs, but they've given great advice and reassurance whenever needed. Rock on! Shop Rating: Excellent. Recommended. Report Date: 0. Becky Barnard writes: We took my 1. VW van (or Betty as we call her) up to the Sunshine Garage to see if they could make her more roadworthy and they transformed her from a nice piece of yard sculpture to a fully functioning reliable vehicle that I'm not afraid to send my daughter and her friends out in. She's like new! The guys were great to work with and seem to care about Betty every bit as much as we do. They worked out every detail from replacing the engine right down to fixing the radio and properly installing the seatbelts and even washed and waxed her before we picked her up. You can't go wrong with this shop! Shop Rating: Excellent. Recommended. Report Date: 0. Todd Carranza writes: I bought a Vanagon from this shop through EBAY. The price was fair, the van was actually nicer than they described it. The paint job (which they did) was flawless with a deep shine. The car drives as well as it looks. It will be shipped to Germany where it was born. Petersburg, Fl. I needed to have a 1. Westfalia Camper checked out that I was interested in buying. My last VW was a 1. Bug in the early 7. I had no idea where to find a VW specialist. I went online, probably to Roadhaus, I really don't remember, but they had a lot of customer reviews of VW garages. Sunshine stood out above all others with nothing but excellent reviews. Sunshine is all about VWs. Ron allowed me to tag along as he checked my van out, teaching me about the van, instructing me on the importance of proper maintenance and telling me the good news and the bad as he checked my van out. Francis and I talked about VWs. He showed me his latest finds. These guys are VW pros who will take the time to tell you what is going on. The bill for checking the van out was reasonable. The drive to Sarasota was well worth it. Shop Rating: Excellent. Recommended. Report Date: 0. Traci writes: I took my 7. Beetle in for servicing as the mechanic near my home had to close shop. The customer service experience was second to none. I definitely recommend Sunshine! Shop Rating: Excellent. Recommended. Report Date: 1. Rod writes: I just bought a 1. Beetle convertible from Sunshine Auto. I must say, these guys know how to treat a customer. I needed the vehicle shipped, and they were kind enough to help me find the right person for the job. The car was everything they said it was, no disappointment when it arrived. It is nice to know that there are some good honest people out there. If I had 3 thumbs, I would give them all 3 up!!! These guys went above and beyond to make sure I got a sweet deal. Francis offered to paint the bumpers white, paint the rims white, and install a new windshield. If that wasn't enough, he hooked me up with a stereo/cd player. They are knowledgeable, honest and fair. Would highly recommend Sunshine Auto.
