Review №1

George and Jason at PorBug are a couple of gems. I took my 81 for fuel line replacements and couldnt be happier. I typically like to do my own work on the van but when it comes to bigger jobs Ill always come back to them. Theyre more than happy to consult over the phone for potential issues and brainstorm ideas on how to fix.Thanks for the great service, youll see me again in the fall for some pre-winter maintenance!

Best all around service for VW vans in the state. I dont take my Vanagon anywhere else if I can help it.

Good company that has done good work on my rig. However theres a major problem that they have not been able to diagnose so I cannot yet give them 5 stars

They are very knowledgeable, reliable and prices are great. They dont make unnecessary recommendations and go above and beyond.

I wont take my 87 Westy anywhere else! George and Jason cleaned up a big rebuild mess made by another shop, and theyve helped me know more about my vans inner workings than any other mechanic Ive ever taken it to. Ive had this van for over twenty years and have been bringing it to Porbug for the last four. These guys know when to fix something, when to replace something, and when to just talk me off the ledge. They handle major projects and minor issues with honest and fair expertise. And they always finish in the time frame they say they will. Look no further for a rock solid northwest VW mechanic!

I should have written this review years ago and for that, I apologize to George and Jason. I have been taking all of my Volkswagens to these guys for years. I have had at least 15 buses through this place and every single time I am treated with Integrity respect and professionalism. George is super good at showing you all the parts that he has been working on and with and once removed he explains what needs to happen and how to go about it without being a condescending, impatient jerk like so many other shops out there who seem like they hate people. Porbug is a shop you can trust. I have been to many wonderful vintage Volkswagen repair shops around the country that I can recommend highly, but when it comes to where I go when Im home and when I need my go-to guys, porbug is the place.

Ive been taking my ol VW bus to Porbug for the last few years and have had nothing but good experiences. Ill admit, prices are a little higher than your average place but its worth it. Before I took my bus to Porbug I had problem after problem, repair after repair. At one point I thought my whole engine was toast. Overheating, smoking, horrid sounds that just got worse and worse.. Before it had gotten to that point I took it to several mechanics. One said he fixed it, the other said he couldnt waste anymore of my time/money because he didnt know what was wrong. Finally off a reference from my friend I had it towed to Porbug. He kept me updated on his findings and at first it didnt look good. He called and said I might need to have the whole thing replaced. A day later and a lot of investigation/repairs on his part, he said he could get it up and running, BUT I need to drive it gently and there are no promises on how long itll keep going. Here I am two years later and its still running strong. If he had wanted to he could of gotten a lot of money of me by saying he needed to replace the engine. Since then any minor repairs/maintenance that come up I take it straight to him. I know hes passionate about his work because he always keeps that changed out parts and is more than willing to show me and explain what exactly went wrong. Im an engineer myself so I know what satisfaction in doing a good job looks like. It might hurt a little when you get the bill but if you want quality work from a honest mechanic, take it to Porbug!

The Go To place for Vanagon service and repair. A customer for over five years here including an engine replacement. The owner, George Wakita, is the most honest and competent mechanic I have ever encountered. I can recommend this shop with no reservation.

I have owned my 1979 VW Super Beetle for about 20 years. I have lived in 4 or 5 different states with the car--and had numerous mechanics good and bad work on it.George at PorBug is hands down the best. He is accurate, fast, effective, and honest. My bug runs better now than ever. His prices are very reasonable....he wont do unecessary work just to pad the bill. A true professional.

In May, George and Jason of Porbug installed a rebuilt 2.2 WBX, clutch, and manual transaxle in my 90 Vanagon. They also replaced the distributor hall sender and some other things. I just completed a 12,000 mile trip. The engine and transaxle performed fantastically. George and Jason are experienced, thorough and great to work with. When I need work done in the future, I will take my van to them with confidence. I cannot recommend them enough.
