Kirk and his team treated us like family and went above and beyond to restore and upgrade my 1982 Vanagon Westy. Good work is worth the wait. We are looking forward to many new adventures in our van!

This past winter, I had Kirk and his team do an engine swap in my 86 syncro westy. They put in a 2.0 Boxeer TDI kit and shipped out my transaxle for a rebuild. Kandyce and the team also helped me process my old engine and get it shipped out to a buyer so that I didn't have to bring it home with me. About a week after I got the van back, I had an issue with 4th gear slipping and not engaging. This is where the unbelievable customer service started. I called Kirk and explained the issue to him, he decided it was best that we not drive the van until we get the trans out and see why 4th wasn't engaging. He personally drove 4 hours south to where I live to help me take the trans out and bring it back up to his rebuilder in Renton. He warrantied the 4th gear issue. Then he drove the trans back down to me and helped me install and test drive it to ensure everything was good to go. Kirk is hands down the nicest and most helpful shop owner I've ever dealt with, and arguably one of the most knowledgable Vanagon connoisseurs on the planet. I highly recommend these guys for an engine swap. I'm a couple thousand miles in on my swap and Kirk has helped me with every little hiccup I've had so far. Unbelievable customer service.

I first learned of North Westy while vacationing in Hawaii. A casual discussion with a fellow VW Westy owner resulted in a recommendation of the Renton, Wa company as a reliable source of used parts. I have used there service for 10 years since then. North Westy has always come through for my 87 Westy since then and I, in turn, recommend North Westy for it's its impeccable service and friendly knowledgeable staff.

Northwesty owner Kirk Meeks knows these Vans extensively and has years and years of experience. He loves what he does and is genuinely excited about the vision and course you want to take your vehicle in, but also gives you guidance and advice. Cote and Eric are professional shop techs, are willing to talk about the work being performed to your Vanagon and are also friendly and personable.
