Volkswagen Repair in Portland, OR
Deliveries of Volkswagen Beetles to the United States began in 1949. Volkswagen of America was established in Englewood, New Jersey in 1955. Heckmann & Thiemann Motors was born in Portland, Oregon in 1968.
Throughout the 1960’s the Volkswagen Beetle became an icon of efficiency, counterculture, and adventure. In 1972, it overtook the Ford Model T as the world’s bestselling car. It was compact, efficient, surefooted in all-weather conditions, off-road capable, and inexpensive to repair and maintain. By 1992, over 21 million Beetles had been produced; and Volkswagen Buses and Vanagons had cemented their place in history as frugal adventure vehicles of choice. These attributes help sustain the brand’s strong resale value and vibrant ecosystem of aftermarket accessories.
