GAUGES

Precision Monitoring for Every Mile and Every Dune

In an air-cooled vehicle, your gauges are your early warning system. Because these engines are sensitive to heat and oil pressure fluctuations, accurate instrumentation is the difference between a successful trip and a costly breakdown. Whether you are aiming for the period-correct look of a factory-fresh Beetle restoration or the high-visibility requirements of a high-speed sand rail, Appletree Automotive provides the specialized VW Gauges needed to keep a professional eye on your performance.

We carry the world's most trusted brands, ensuring that the data you see on your dashboard is as reliable as the engine behind you.
