Who is The Buggy Shop

Buggy Shop was started in 1978 in Pietermaritzburg, 90 KM inland from Durban on the Kwa Zulu Natal Coast in South Africa. The focus of the business was on building Baja Bugs and servicing and maintaining VW Beetles, Golfs and Jetta’s. In 1982 the business relocated to Margate on the Kwa Zulu Natal South Coast where our primary focus is now on building and maintaining quality custom beach buggies. 42 Years later and we are still growing strong. Buggy Shop is the largest, privately owned, custom service and parts centre in South Africa whose business centricity is on the longevity of these classic VW Beetles and beach buggies. We supply and carry a wide range of spares and our factory manufacture a comprehensive list of beach buggy accessories. We don’t just service and repair beach buggies, we custom build dream cars, we turn ‘boys’ dreams into reality. Contact us today with your enquiry.
