Servicing Volkswagen, Porsche & Audi Owners Since 1959!
At the Beetle Barn, we specialize in keeping your fine Teutonic machines clipping along fit for the fast lane on the Autobahn. It takes a special mindset to understand German engineering and with 50 years of experience, we`ve just about seen it all. From quick tune-ups to complete vehicle restoration, the Beetle Barn is the perfect choice for those who appreciate automotive excellence. With an extensive inventory of current and vintage parts as well as specialized custom equipment produced for our own in-house needs, we can provide superior service at competitive prices. Oh, did we say competitive? Well, we practice what we preach. This German automotive stuff is in our blood. The Beetle Barn started out as a weekend project for Warren Stephens, our beloved founder. Ever helpful, he agreed to work on a friends bug that was misbehaving. When he saw how innovative and well-engineered the VW engine was, he fell in love. His wife Nancy wasn`t so enthralled with Warren working with his new avocation on the kitchen table, so another arrangement was pursued, and the Beetle Barn was born. That was 50 years ago. From then `till now, the Beetle Barn has grown in size and reputation as the premier German automotive specialists in the Las Vegas area. A strong competitive streak in our blood has shown through over the years, with Warren himself winning the Mint 400 and the Baja 500. His son Justin continues that tradition on the drag strip.
