Welcome to Doug's Buggs and Bunnys, Your Repair Shop for New and Vintage Volkswagen,

A little about our history...

Since 1987 Doug’s Bugs and Bunnies has been performing service on all types of VW’s.  Doug’s has always been loyal to the VW and its enthusiast.

To understand what makes Doug’s what it is today we have to go back to Indiana in the late 60’s.  Doug had been backyard fiddling with the VW when the local VW dealership placed an ad for a mechanic.  While at the dealership, Doug was taught the ins and outs of the air cooled as well as ushering in the new water cooled VW’s.

After many Indiana winters Doug and his family decided to move to greener (or warmer) pastures in Arizona.  After several years at the VW dealership, Doug went into the independent VW shops, where high performance, off road and other uses for the VW were the norm.  This is where he met the likes of Dean Lowry, Mike Fischer, Dan Lawson and may others that were influential in the local VW world.

Then in 1987 Doug decided to open the doors of his own shop.  With the help of his wife Nancy, Doug’s Buggs - N - Bunnies was opened.  The business has continued since its opening day serving the VW owners and enthusiast.

In the early 90’s there was a peculiar enthusiast that hung around the shop way to much.  This kid (at the time) showed some mechanical knowledge so Doug decided to put him to work and took him under his wing sort of speak.  Everyone called the kid “Fish” and he has since developed a reputation as a premier engine builder and a knowledgeable mechanic that has been with Doug’s since 1994.

In August 2007 Doug’s moved to its new location (on Extension and Broadway in Mesa, Arizona) that made room for a parts showroom. Doug’s brought in Gilbert, a very knowledge parts person with over five years in the industry.  Doug’s also hired TJ, a UTI graduate that had spent six years at the VW dealership and has a great knowledge of the newest VW’s.
