I was referred to Peninsula Automotive from a shop that works on my 60 Porsche because a few parts are used on the Type 2 are interchangeable. Dave and Dan were most helpful locating a shift coupling that had failed after 50 years and was no longer available through normal suppliers.When my 2008 Passat TDI needed brake service I decided to say “Thanks for your help” by having this shop replace the front brake rotors and pads as well as flushing the brake fluid. The work was done before it was promised but actually billed out less than I was quoted. Excellent service as well as helpful advice.I’ll be back and will refer my VW friends to this shop.

JEROME M
I had a very good experience with Peninsula Automotive. Dan and Dave replaced the old, inoperative rear hatch struts on my 1987 VW Vanagon and they also took care of a engine heating problem (low coolant). Dan also did a a thorough assessment of my maintenance needs in the near future, including the fact that my tires (probably originals) need to be replaced.
Peninsula Automotive replied:Thank you Jerome, We look forward to being there for all your future car care needs. Sharon and Dave
ROBERT M
A month after having an oil change on an old VW bus at PA, I started to have a good oil leak from the valve cover gasket on one side (which can be a chronic problem). PA took me in as soon as I had time. I waited in the shop for a reasonably short time while they fixed the problem at no charge.
Peninsula Automotive replied:Happy to be of service Robert. Let us know how we can assist you with your future car care needs.Dave and Sharon

Very friendly folks, they know what they are doing. Have been going to Peninsula for several years now and have had various services performed on my older, water-cooled vehicles.My only “criticism” is that it’d be nice if the shop opened up a bit earlier!
Peninsula Automotive replied:We appreciate the many years of doing business with you. Although we do not open before 8:30 am we do offer Early Bird Drop Off. Give us a call for details if that will help. Thanks Again Dave and Sharon

I have used Peninsula Automotive (PA) for many years and have always found their service exceptional.On this last visit I asked them to do a particularly tedious job and Dave talked to me three times about the steps he should take to arrive at the needed result which repaired a door latch that had not been working for a long time. I really appreciate their knowledge of my very old VW bus and the time they take to communicate with me concerning what needs to be done and what it will cost. Thanks so much

Overall, I was happy with the work that was done. In my opinion, the service tech was less than enthusiastic when it came to the needs of my vehicle. Cant really explain it, just seemed less than enthusiastic about his job. Peninsula did what was needed and the overall results were good.

GUSTAVO A
The people there are real matter-of-fact…and nice too. They’re not trying to push “extra” stuff you don’t need. Repairs are timely and right where quotes were made. I own a 1969 Bus and have been going there for years, I can’t even remember how many decades. Yes. Decades! I even had my entire engine replaced when my last one blew the case and could not be repaired. It was ready in just a few days. And it now purrs like a kitty.
Peninsula Automotive replied:Glad to be of service to you Gustavo. Let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.Dave and Sharon

I have a 1990 Westy and would not have considered purchasing it without Peninsula Automotive nearby. They have expertise in older VWs and provide great service. So far there’s not an issue they haven’t been able to resolve.

Very dependable and knowledgeable folks at Peninsula Automotive. I used to take my VW GTI for them for several years before I decided to sell it. You can rest assured that your VW will be well looked after here. I did minor and major services both. They do honor competitor coupons. They also give you a ride back to your workplace if it is close by.The only gripe I have is that they are a little pricey for the major services.

The work appears to be of high quality, and the guys really know their stuff.Minus one star for the work taking longer than expected and communication around that being a little lacking. But you can’t rush perfection!

The service personnel are friendly, witty and knowledgeable in their field. They are helpful in suggesting additional work for something that they hadn’t seen when you brought your car in to beworked on, but in servicing it they discovered some problems. which need to be corrected. Theirwork is always top notch.

I have taken my 1967 912 Porsche to Peninsula Motors for several years and have enjoyedthe working people there, always courteous, very friendly, and knowledgeable in VW, Porsche,and Audi workings. I do like the fact that most of them are of an older group, not some young people that sometimes think they understand more than they do. I’m probably skeptical sinceI’m 82 years old and enjoy their lookout on life.
HIROSHI C
Brought my Jetta in for a general check up. Dave was very helpful and courteous. They did a very thorough checkup and included everything that needed to be done. I opted to do one thing at a time, which was shifter bushings. They replaced them but said car was still having issues shifting into 2nd and 4th. I took the car understanding it was old and could be the car. Drove car home, didn’t make it 5 miles before linkage snapped. Had to spend $100 out of pocket to have car towed track, but they fixed the part for free. All in all, decent service, but wish problem had been fixed before I took care home the first time.
FERNANDO T
Great customer service, Dan greeted me and asked me what brought me to the shop, I told him a friend referred me to them, he then asked me what problem was I having with my ’77 VW bus, took notes, later in the day He called me to say that my car was ready to rock & roll, I was so happy, since I had taken my bus to different mechanics, with not so good results, Mike found the problem and fixed it. Thank you Guys :0)
JOSEPHINE B
Always excellent customer service. Repairs done well with upcoming problems estimated for future consideration. Shop rate very fair.

Peninsula Automotive has been always honest and forthright in servicing my ’79 VW Beetle. They have the knowledge and experience and I would feel confident in referring anyone to them. They have gained my trust over the many years I have had my car serviced there. Thank you Peninsula Automotive!

Professional and friendly. I expected a starter replacement but their expert mechanics diagnosed faulty wiring and the bill was far less than it might have been. Thanks.

Excellent service on my VW accompanied by phone calls with progress reports on the repair work. Completely satisfied with Peninsula Automotive.

I took my car in to have minor work done on it, but I was going to have a hard time picking it up late in the afternoon. Dave had said when I brought it in that there were several cars ahead of me. He then called me before noon and said it was done. Because it was a minor job and I had to afternoon constraints, then just dug in and got it done. It was a great help to me and I appreciate their effort to accommodate my needs. Great service and friendly personnel. I have dealt with Peninsula Automotive for many years and have always found their service excellent and timely. – Robert Morrey

All were friendly and professional as usual. I always enjoy joking a bit with David…He’s one of the few people who laugh at my jokes. Expensive this time, but I know the work was diagnosed correctly and done well. Hope I don’t return too soon except socially. Larry and his 89 Westie

If you have an older VW, I can’t think of a better place to get the care these precious vehicles need.

Peninsula Automotive asked me to bring my car in to have a small part installed that they had not had in stock on my last visit. They charged me only for the part and a quart of oil that I needed. There was no additional charge for labor because it should have been done on the previous service. I was able to call in and immediately go to the shop and have the part installed. I am very pleased with their service. RM

After missing my scheduled appointment, Peninsula Automotive (PA) fit me in and actually worked hard to complete a rather extensive service so that I could have the car in the afternoon. I have been very pleased with the last several major repair services that I have had PA complete on my old 1971 VW Bus. The work has been done on time and of excellent quality. I recommend them highly.
BRAD M
Great service and store.
FRANK D;
I have been buying parts for some time now from peninsula auto but never had our bug in for service. They were thorough and knowledgeable. The staff is very friendly and personal. Even though our 67 beetle is a real project car they handled it like I do. We are planning to bring it back for the rest of the work that needs to be done to restore it. I highly recommend Peninsula Auto.
KATHLEEN L
I was disappointed that after I took the van in to have the antenna repaired, the work was done but the antenna cord was not attached to the radio, and the radio was left hanging out of the dash. The mgr. pushed the radio back in, but it wasn’t connected to the antenna so the radio would not work. After calling in to the shop later, the manager gave me clear instructions on how to reattach the antenna, or else I could bring it in again on Monday and they would take it to be attached. I figured out how to get the radio back out of the dash, and found the old antenna wire still attached to the radio, just cut off. The new wire was close and I was able to insert it then push the radio back into the dash. I feel the job should have been finished and checked before releasing it back to me. The manager did admit that he made a mistake and was cordial. I trust the mechanics to do a good job.
Peninsula Automotive replied:It was nice chatting with you recently. Once again sorry for the confusion…See you soon.Sharon and Dave, Owners

Great service for 2010 VW Jetta TDI Sportswomen!Came in with a check engine light that turned out to be an O2 sensor.They thought it should be covered under the emissions warranty. I looked at the warranty book, and thought it wasn’t.They called Sunnyvale VW to ask about warranty coverage before proceeding with reasonably priced repairs.
RYAN S
Good VW shop, guys have lots of knowledge. Prices are kind of high though, and they took twice as long as expected to do their work.
