First of all, the place looks like it would be a VW shop/parts store. It is a great old building built in the 20s. I met both Larry, the owner, & April his daughter. It is a family ran place. Larry and I started to briefly talk about our military lifes; it was a great conversation. It was like we served together, even though he is a Vietnam VET and I am an Afghanistan VET. The beauty of being veterans. We called each other “Brother” and “Charlie Mike-d”. Nice to know that there is another reliable VW spot in Tampa.”.
