J & W Foreign Auto Service

We are so glad we found Ryan. We purchased a 1971 Bay Window bus that arrived at our door with a handful of “classic VW” surprises. After having multiple people look at it—and walking away with more questions than answers—we started to wonder if we had bitten off more than we could chew. Then we discovered this tiny little shop in Sebastopol. To our amazement, Ryan not only fixed the issue, but also took the time to answer every single question we had. It’s immediately clear that he knows these vehicles inside and out. He’s meticulous, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely cares about his work and his customers. We truly hit the jackpot. We won’t be taking our VWs anywhere else. Thank you, Ryan!

The family has been in the business since '67 and they KNOW VWs. They will treat you with respect, and deliver on their word. A true local business and I drove away KNOWING my vehicle was as safe as can be to put my baby in the backseat. They are truly stand up men, worth every penny and they have a loyal customer for the life of my VW! Also a bonus to have a local company getting German parts and even quality German oil, they don't make any money off of me for that service but they still keep and treat my car well.

Not Just a VW Shop Hans and Ryan are very pleasant friendly guys They are also knowledgeable about VW’s. I took my 1999 Eurovan Camper there for inspection for a buyer. Ryan did the physical inspection and processed the findings through Hans. They were very thorough and did an excellent job. Hans has live a very interesting life and has many relics adorning the walls of the shop, concert posters from the 60’s and 70’s, pictures post cards and memorabilia. He has many stories and recollections to accompany them. This shop in part repair shop and part museum. Stop in if you get a chance and have some work done, but don’t forget to spend a few minute with Hans they don’t make men like him very often and unfortunately the ones here now aren’t going to be around for ever. Thanks

Friendly and professional. They take such great care of my 1986 VW van. It's the only place I need to go for service. Got me in and out quickly.

Was able to get my van in quickly and out the same day. Very knowledgeable and gave me a fair price.
