EuroCampers – EuroCampers was started in 1997 by Steve Lashley after having success importing van accessories from Germany and selling them on a VW group mailing list. Back then his nickname was “The Tent Guy”, because of the German side tents he sold. Steve was a VW enthusiast, owning many different models over the years like a 1993 MV Weekender, 1995 EuroVan Camper, 2003 GLS, and his most prized possession, a 1974 Westy in Yosemite Yellow.
It was the early days of the internet and orders were originally shipped in the family living room. As the years went by EuroCampers grew to incorporate other models of vans like the Sprinter, ProMaster, and Transit and he hired more family to help him run it. At some point in the last 27 years, Steve’s wife, all three of his children, 2 son-in-laws, a nephew, and even some grandkids have worked for EuroCampers in some capacity.
27 years later we still import the best van accessories from Europe and we now ship from our 12,000+ sq. ft. warehouse and office space. We are still family-owned and operated and are located near St. Louis, Missouri.
Europarts SD – is an independent supplier of factory original auto parts specializing in Sprinter, Metris, Eurovan, Mercedes, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Range Rover, Saab, Volvo, Porsche, Jaguar, Mini, and other European based vehicles. We focus on accuracy, discount pricing and rapid order processing service. Europarts opened in 1985 as a mail order business before launching our e-commerce platform. Europarts is a pioneer in the European OEM parts business and serve customers not only in the United States, but also in 23 other countries.
I like this site for my VW T4 Eurovan but found they went MIA when I needed to return a part.
New German Performance (NGP) is a full-service automotive repair center and parts retailer with two locations in the Mid-Atlantic, staffed by a group of dedicated enthusiasts, providing high-quality service, maintenance, and performance solutions for our fellow enthusiasts and owners of European vehicles.
Founded in 1997, New German Performance was able to quickly elevate itself above other VW and Audi performance and repair shops through its outstanding customer service and high-quality work. At that time, the tuning industry was still in relative infancy but growing rapidly, and the quality of service at other performance shops was often found to be lacking. New German Performance was brought about to fill that need for a reputable, respectful, fair, and friendly VW/Audi shop in the Mid-Atlantic.
In April of 2007, we opened our second full-service location just south of Washington D.C. in Lorton, Virginia. We believe that our local customers are the lifeblood of NGP, and we strive to provide them with the best products and services possible. Our move into Virginia further cemented our commitment to the Mid-Atlantic region, expanding our reach to better serve the region. In 2019, our Virginia location relocated to Manassas Park. Our Manassas Park location is better in every way than our Lorton facility and was chosen specifically to provide an even higher level of service and support for our customers.
With a focus on fair pricing, quick response to inquiries, and solid customer service our ambition is to continue to be the performance leader and the go-to dealer service alternative business for owners of VW, Audi, Porsche, BMW, and other European marques in the greater Baltimore-Washington Metropolitan area.
Great for modern cars. Like they only offer parts for the 2017-2019 VW Alltrack which is right in our wheelhouse. We bought our car new in 2018.
