VW Beetle: A Legacy of Simplicity, Durability & Charm

The Volkswagen Beetle, first produced in 1938, remains one of the best-selling and longest-produced vehicles in automotive history. Created by Ferdinand Porsche as the "people's car" or Volkswagen Type 1, it was built to be affordable, reliable, and easy to repair—traits we still admire in classic Beetles that come through our shop today.

With over 65 years of production, the Beetle made history across the globe. Whether it’s “Herbie” from The Love Bug or a collector’s air-cooled model from the ‘60s, these vehicles still roam the streets of San Antonio, proving that German engineering, when properly maintained, can last a lifetime.

Volkswagen Repair Tips for San Antonio Drivers

• Classic Beetles? Stay Ahead of the Heat.
  Air-cooled engines love mild weather—but San Antonio summers can be brutal. We recommend installing or maintaining external oil coolers to help protect your vintage VW.

• TDI Owners—Don’t Ignore Glow Plug Lights
  TDI models often show early signs of issues via glow plug warning lights. Early diagnostics can prevent expensive injector or turbocharger repairs.

• Modern VW? Watch for DSG Service Intervals
  If you drive a VW with a dual-clutch (DSG) transmission, make sure to service it every 40,000 miles to avoid costly failures.
