Our newest technicians are already putting in the work. Turns out hauling boxes around the shop is step one to mastering a Subaru swap.

They’ve got the work ethic down. We’ll handle the EJ25 torque specs for now.

Got a vintage VW that needs real attention? Email [email protected] or head to smallcar.com. We’re in Tacoma and always happy to talk Bus, Vanagon, or Eurovan.

Austin here with a look inside one of our fully built out auxiliary battery system called the Crooked Mini setups, tucked right under the back seat of this tan Westy.

The Crooked Mini serving as the brains of the system that has all of your fusing and wiring paired with 330 amp hours of lithium, an inverter, and a full house electronic system running a Dometic 12V AC unit cut clean through the roof with custom trim through the luggage rack. A system that has been installed many times here at our shop.

This one is a good reminder that we are not just a Subaru shop. This Vanagon is running a diesel motor with a 5 speed, and we service those too.

Whether you need a full electrical and AC build out or just routine maintenance, our Tacoma shop has you covered.
