I have a 1976 super beetle. I bought it and drove it from Baltimore, Maryland to Pahrump Nevada and it was running fine. Just start was kind of difficult and it needed a new switch in the ignition to make a crank over. I brought my car over to them to look at these things, and they insisted that it was leaking oil, and that the engine rebuild.I went ahead and had the rebuild done. Thanking that they were correct and that the vehicle would fire right up after that. Since I have gotten it back, the vehicle has not ran correctly. The first thing they did was only hand tighten the bolts on the oil pan and only put one bolt in there the car Has constantly been dying every time we stop. And spewing oil out all over underneath the hood.They tried to tell me that a tower was bad or something, but they went ahead and did some things to it and quit spraying oil. For a little bit, I took the vehicle somewhere else to have it checked out. They're the ones that fix the oil pan, but the vehicle was still spewing oil. I found another guy that knows Volkswagens inside and out and asked several other people, and they were telling me that the rods were too tight so I took it to another guy and he found that they had tighten the rods too tight causing a spring break and please note l've had it towed at least six times Since they rebuilt it. With a freshly rebuilt engine should not have any of these problems. So I absolutely would not recommend them to anybody. Please be careful they got over $7000 for me. I am having the engine rebuilt again right now to fix everything that they did wrong, it's turning out to be a lot every time. I tell them about something that went wrong. They pretty much blame it on me.

Good shop and Phil's sharp on parts and repairs. They stand behind their work. Would recommend using their business if you're in the greater Pahrump areabefore taking that long drive to Vegas.

Phil at Doghouse repair is the most honest mechanic I have ever met. I had purchased a rebuilt engine from him online and I later delivered my 1979 Super Beetle to him for the swap. He contacted me the next day and advised me he could repair the engine in the car and that I did not need the replacement engine I had already purchased. I had the car back 3 days later running like a top and he saved me at least $1500. He could have done the engine swap ( like most mechanics would have) and I would have never known the difference. I HIGHLY recommend Phil at Doghouse. His integrity and skills are amazing.

Incompetent, Irresponsible, Liar.Phil Rogers, owner/operator of Doghouse Repair, promised he knew exactly how to fix my VW. Four replaced parts (including one wrong part) and $400 later my problem remained, yet Phi insisted upon being paid forhis "repair". Additionally I had to pay an additional $200 to a Las Vegas VW shop to install the proper part and correct Phil's wacky wiring job. Finally, Phil Rogers lied in court to prevent me from recovering damages. It may be a beautiful day in the neighborhood for Mr. Rogers, but not always for his customers...Richard & Diane BeersService: General repairs & maintenance

Keeping Volkswagens alive. Phil is great and always have tons of knowledge to give and willing to go the extra mile to source a difficult part. He is my only source for volkswagen air cooled parts

Mr Phil is a genius. He is kind, considerate, and most professional. I have watched him over the fence for 5 years and he has worked on trikes, dune buggies, buses, rv's, cars, you name it, I've seen it over the fence.He listened to what was going on, what had happened and my thoughts about what was wrong and was very patient (cause I can jabber alot) and in one day figured out the problem, fixed my car and did it at a reasonable rate.I highly recommend him and personally will not take my car to anyone else, "ever".This is the man for whatever the job.

bought a bolt for my vw beetle and Phil would not honor the bolt being the wrong size. i was told if it didnt fit i could exchange it but Phil said he never said such a thing. he is a liar and a thief and a cheat to take advantage of those without knowledge on vw products. i believe he went to home depot and bought my bolts he thought i needed and resold them to myself. he made me seem like i was a liar which iam not . this was the worst experience ive ever had. he also tried to sell me a carburetor which i found online brand new for 100 dollars less then what he was charging. i would recommend to stay clear of this thief. he will rob you blind and sell you the wrong parts. he is not very knowledgeable at all. his customer service skills are not good either. ive found a new vw mechanic that knows his parts and how a vw runs. i will never send no one to his bissness with the way i was treated and stole from.

Didnt have the part I needed in stock and wasn't able to get it anytime soon, but very professional and would definitely do bussiness with them in the future.
