Vrba's Parts

Saw your response. You suggested I buy my own headlights of which I did. They may or may not have worked because I watched as you put one in and as I am not a mechanic and after some research they need to be installed in a particular way. You may or may not have done that. I asked you to simply replace the light bulb of which you did and the bulb did not work. The issue is when I took my car to another mechanic the bracket that held the new bulb YOU put in was bent and I had to get a new bracket. $500 later. The bulb YOU put in incorrectly worked fine once the bracket was replaced. Thank you for costing me $600(that includes the $100 I gave you). Hence 1 star. Well deserved.

Brian Vrba is one VW mechanic you can completely trust. I am really grateful to have found this place to take my '73 Superbeetle! Honest, helpful, polite and generous with his knowledge , skill and time. What a relief after spending years and thousands at other shops just to get ripped off. Seriously grateful! Thank you Brian, for having one shop in Northern Colorado that i can trust!🙂

Don't waste your time or money. Original head gaskets replaced on a vanagon with good compression and no issues otherwise. Passenger side had just barely started to weep. Lasted less than 14months/4k miles. Blew out completely and lost massive amounts of coolant very quickly. Come to find out it was a hack job. Nothing machined and original head studs re used which is apparently a big no no. I was clear that if there were any other parts that even looked like they needed replaced soon that I would air on the side of spending the money and doing it. Especially the head studs or even new heads! Knowing this, he even tried to JB weld a crack in my exhaust instead of just ordering new. Quality and customer experience is on par with what you would expect from basically a junkyard.

We called on the weekend when Vrbas was closed and the owner met us there within an hour to get us what we needed to get back on the road. He is very knowledgeable about Volkswagens and was happy to answer the many questions that we had for him. Thank you so much for your help and for getting us back on track for our vacation in our vanagon. We won’t forget it.

I have several friends who have used Brian for his expertise in VW repair in Northern Colorado. He is someone you can trust to treat you honestly and fairly.
