Oil Droppers Description

Oil Droppers is a small business, our interest in vehicles started back in the late 70's when our interest in vehicle modifications evolved, My interest started with my Eldest brother who nurtured my interest primarily in these early years in hot rods, from here my love for vehicles has only grown, In these early years I undertook the building of roll cages & Chassis modifications & even roof Chops, from this I discovered my love for VW'S, and have owned an early bay and several beetles for close to 20 years, Under taking all the works from body repairs to engine builds, to the Scratch built turbo system to rebuilding & repairing the interior units, My works and the quality of the works have lead to a regular works being undertaken for fellow enthusiast's and this has led to the founding of Oil Droppers as a business, Oil droppers can under take small works servicing, Mot prep works to large works from Beetle heater channels to replacement front & rear aprons to complete or partial bay window front panels. to full body restoration works, we work with other local small buisness farming out such as fully body painting to ensure customers get the best quality we can offer in regards value and time scale.

We believe at Oil Droppers that the quality and standards of our works is unrivalled in Herts Beds & Bucks regarding quality & pricing, we are small and pay attention to detail, Our goal are quality comunication and excellent customer service.

Johns Caddy project had some attention, this is what i found and had to cut out under the new and really badly fitted OS outer sill. when some one tells you i can weld that for you!! be aware this could be what you get, then it ends up having to be corrected at cost.

Back in February 2017 we started a project with Damien McGloclin we done a few repairs to the body of his beetle then we chopped the roof by 4" and it went away to be painted & finished, Damien returned the car back earlier this year to fit the motor and do a few other minor jobs, Damien has now finished the car and we can show the finished car, turned out rather well.

Started to get some work Done on Johns Caddy, this project came to us after it had been started for John by other parties, unfortunately most of the works will have to be re-done due to the poor quality of the work, Going to be a nice when done though as John has interesting plans for this little truck including 4x4.

This was originally a Viking the roof has historically had a cut panel fitted that has required some remedial works, we will now be putting a westfalia Roof on it before we go any further with Body Prep works.

Oildroppers have done a great service on my split. I needed someone that knows aircooled VWs to check it over and Oildroppers was perfect.

A good honest garage and a great cup of tea ;) Highly recommended.

User

Oil Droppers have done fantastic work on my Bay, starting with a few small MOT jobs, through to fitting dropped spindles, coilovers, brake overhaul and a full service. The bus looks amazing on those spindles! Stuart's attention to detail and communication is truly refreshing. I would not hesitate to recommend them, they really do stand out from the other specialists I've used.

User

Can't fault Oil Droppers, great restoration on my early bay. Stuart is the go to guy for all your VW needs, wouldn't use anyone else! Quality work by an guy who cares about your vehicle, always a reasonable price and a really nice guy to deal with.

User

Can't believe there's still mechanics around who care more about the cars they're working on than just profit! Car was in for a rear main seal which ended up being a new engine, but he stuck with his price, found me and engine and got it running in a week, you can't argue with that.

100% would use Stuart again for any work on the bug, best VW specialist around by a mile, the mans a mechanical wizard!
