I love the whole crew at 523Rods. Been going there for almost 3 years now and they are my go to shop for my 77 bus. They have been honest with estimates, work details and what needs to be done. I have been to other shops where they don't have the knowledge or experience like Felipe and his crew has. I don't mind the wait times and drive from SF because I know my bus is in good hands.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
★★★★★
Felipe at 523Rods is super-knowledgeable about Westfalia vans, owns one himself and has a straightforward and honest approach to his business. His labor rates are very competitive and he was very attentive and responsive to my inquiries and requests. I am super pleased with the work that has been done so far and will DEFINITELY choose 523Rods for all future work and service on my 1984 Westy. There is no reason to go anywhere else..523Rods is the place!
★★★★★
I am very impressed with 523. Although our van's problem is not resolved yet, it's not for lack of effort on the part of 523! They've been super friendly and responsive and actually seem like they care about their customers. That's far cry from the treatment I've gotten at another van shop in the area! Definitely check them out.
