George Karacostas still doing some limited VW work. By appointment only and cash only payments for work and parts. Parts are my cost. Stock and custom modified engines built. ASE Certified. College Degreed. Past Auto Tech Instructor. Drag racing hobby. Past national record holder. Work on air-cooled any year, bug, , things, karman ghia, sand rails, dune buggies and kit cars. I do custom wiring and put together custom A/C installations, only on regular bugs. Located since 1984 at 7801 Oak Ridge Drive, or corner of WEST FM519 and Oak Ridge Drive, Hitchcock,Texas 77563, ph. 409-986-9487, just 30 minutes S/E of Downtown Houston off of I-45. Easy to find, easy to like. Email me at [email protected]. I am available M-F from 9am to 6pm. I will not lower vehicles or install engines into lowered vehicles. Air cooled engines require air flow around bottom and top of engine. Sorry, but you need to find some non-professional shop for your lowered car needs. Modified engines require modified transmissions. I can build your air-cooled engine, sizes 1600cc to 2110cc. I specialize in reliable street engines. Turbo kits installed. High performance tuning done on any air cooled engine. Dual carbs, not a problem for me.
Machine shop services: Line boring, thrust cutting, lifter sleeves, bore out case or heads, resurface flywheel, re-bush and straighten rods, taper cut lifter bores, full flow case, turn down crankshaft, complete head surfacing, valve jobs, dual spring clearance, weld up cracks in case, case savers installed, eight dowel installation. Sub-contracts with ceramic coating, power coating, paint and body , machine shops, welding shops.
If this matters, I am a US Navy Veteran , served in support of Vietnam from 1967 to 1972 with Top Secret Clearance. Member: Hitchcock Chamber of Commerce. Member of local Christian church. You must leave your phone number with me or I cannot return you calls.
I have built over 700 VW engines with all satisfied customers. If you want professionally built engines at reasonable prices, here I am. Besides doing engine work, I do routine maintenance on your air cooled vehicles. Transaxles replaced and any major brake work done.
