Air Cooled VW Repair Costa Mesa

Francisco's Auto Repair has been the go-to place for air-cooled Volkswagen repairs in Huntington Beach since 1975. Specializing in "Type 2" buses, also known as "Buses," from 1972 to 1979, Francisco's expertise is unmatched. The early models from 1972 to 1974, equipped with double carburetors, are particularly challenging, but Francisco handles them with ease. In 1975, when fuel injection systems were introduced, the buses became a bit easier to manage, but Francisco's commitment to quality never wavered.

As interest in vintage VWs has grown, especially with the closure of iconic shops like the "VW Van Shop" in Costa Mesa, more customers are turning to Francisco's for reliable service. Located at 7662 Slater Ave. in Huntington Beach, Francisco's Auto Repair is known for providing top-quality work, competitive pricing, and exceptional customer service, all delivered promptly.

Volkswagen Bus | Type 2 | Vanagon Repair in Costa Mesa

During the height of the VW craze, Francisco earned a reputation as the go-to expert in Huntington Beach for buses and Vanagons. His shop foreman, Mario, brings decades of experience in electrical systems, making it easier to diagnose and resolve complex issues. In 1972, Volkswagen introduced the 1700 "Dual Carburetor," also known as the "Pancake," which was challenging to work on due to limited access. The following year, VW added an access door on top of the engine, simplifying maintenance. By 1974, VW had introduced "Fuel Injection," further complicating repairs for many shops. However, Francisco’s team has consistently kept up with these changes, continuing to deliver high-quality work that meets the evolving demands of VW vehicles.
