Kirkwood Auto

Kirkwood Auto Adam Galaski, owner and technician, has over 35 years experience. Kirkwood Auto First though, let me introduce myself. My name is Adam Galaski. Enjoy. Kirkwood V.W.

Everyone has been telling me to step into the 21st century and get "connected", so here I am on Facebook. I'm going to start posting pics and descriptions of some of the interesting things that come through the shop. I was born and raised in the Cambrian Park area of San Jose. As a kid, I loved all things mechanical - cars, planes, trains, motorcycles, anything that burned gasoline. Within months

of graduating from high school, I applied for a job as an apprentice mechanic at Kirkwood V.W. I worked for Jim Estes, the previous owner of Kirkwood V.W., for 22 years, learning my craft. When Jim retired in 2002, I became the owner of Kirkwood V.W. I currently have one employee, Gary. He is an avid air-cooled VW gear-head, just like me. Feel free to browse as I will be adding some of the interesting things that come into the shop. The names VW, Volkswagen, and Audi are trademarks of Volkswagen AG and Audi AG. Any use is for the sole purpose of application and description. has no affiliation with Volkswagen AG, Volkswagen of America, Audi AG, or Audi of America.

The rumors are true, and I’m excited to announce that Kirkwood will be merging with the new ownership of Peninsula Automotive to help bring my expertise to the younger generation of mechanics. The goal is to get you the same service that I have provided for 40 years with more people to help me out.
My phone number will be transferred to the new location, if you need immediate service call 408-378-7033.
I am overwhelmed with the amount of old parts that have accumulated over the years and you’re welcome to come over and see if there is anything that you may need before it gets thrown away. I will not answer any questions about what I may or may not have, come on over and take a look.

I must have woke up in an alternate universe this morning. Installed this “shifter” today without having to do any modifications to it. NONE at all !!! Just bolted right in, and it worked!! Very bizarre. 🤔

The power has been out at the shop since 6:40 this morning. It's after 2:30 now, lots of PG&E trucks across the street from the shop, lots of guys standing around. Screw it! Maybe I'll go over to Peninsula and drink their beer.
