The German engineered Volkswagen line of vehicles are some of the most popular small passenger cars and vans in the world. The VW Beetle engines are known for their great gas mileage and sporty performance, while the body and interior of the vehicles are aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.
As the world's third largest auto manufacturer, Volkswagen has several lines of vehicles. And as North America's largest remanufacturer of VW Beetle engines, GEX proudly offers the most complete line of VW engines available anywhere. GEX International supplies Rebuilt air cooled VW Beetle engines, as well as New water cooled VW engines for the New Beetle.
All GEX Beetle engines are set up to run on unleaded gas and are Hot Run Tested. This means that we temporarily install carburetion and other accessories to actually fire them up to run our complete battery of tests before the GEX name goes on each Beetle engine.

1965 Volkswagen Bug
1600 cc Dual Port
Joe Bailey
Aliso Viejo, California
Until recently I had the original motor in my 1965 Bug. It finally gave up on me and the quest for a new engine started. Everywhere I turned, I heard that GEX was the place to go for the best quality motor. I put my faith in your company and was thoroughly impressed with your outstanding service and knowledgable staff. I didn't want to take any chances with my car and I'm sure I won't be let down. Thanks for everything.
