Re: Just Beetle
Ashley is the guys name that owns JB
I bought my EMPI 5 from him for R6,000.00 with new tyres on which I thought was a very good price .
I have never had ant hassles with him, on one ocassion I bought a clutch plate from Volkspares in Eloff str ext and by the time I neede to firt it I found out that it was for a Golf and I could not exchange it Ashley swoped it for me for a new one for a bug (he probably scored in the deal but that is not the point) most places will not do that.
I often see Ashley in the South Of JHB he now drives a black Ghia with mags
Just my 2c worth

I've also used Just Beetle and found him to be most helpful, beyond the call of duty.

Re: Just Beetle
When he was in Mayfair I went there looking for some rubber trim for the indicator housing and the joungster that "helped" me said that they did not have any and as I was walking out Ashley come in and we started chatting, he asked me if he could help so I told him what I wanted he crapped the joungster out for chasing the customers away and gave me 2 meters of the rubber trim half price
I think one has to get to know the guy, at first he may seem to to be a

Re: Just Beetle
I have Known Ashley for quite a while He have rolled his son`s Ghia right behind me on the way down to Uitenhage in 2001
He is really not a bad guy and as all of us just trying to make an honest living
He has built quite a few decent show Bugs and street bugs when the times have been better
I am sure the guy will look after your Bug and give his best service when it is there for mechanical work
I can not bad mouth him just learn to comunicate with the chap
