parts at an affordable price to the rapidly growing VW/Audi aftermarket. With the growth of the
scene we at Black Forest Industries grew too, expanding our parts inventory as well as our
service and installation offerings. Now at our third retail location we are able to more comfortably
serve both online and local customers alike. From installs to basic service, OEM replacement,
performance or cosmetic parts, we have you covered. Take a minute to look below and meet

Joe Flaherty advertising / product dev.

A jack of all trades Joe does a little bit of everything. When he's not flashing cars with the latest APR software you can find him at his computer knocking up the latest Solidworks model before it becomes a reality on our shelves. When it comes to the MK5 he's a bit of a bookworm so if you've got questions fire away!

Adam "Grizzly" Ligon manufact. / purchasing

If you can get past the gruff exterior you'll find an undeniable wealth
of VW knowledge underneath. Obscure facts abound as Adam eats sleeps and breathes dubs. He is responsible for conceiving, sourcing,building and shipping those sought after parts you need. Chances are you won't find him on the phone unless you're a vendor as most days hes buried in his cave churning out those motor mounts.

Daniel Coop web maintainence / marketing

If you're looking at a new part added to the store it's most likely thanks to Daniel. When he's not working on the store or updating these pages you can find him in the warehouse helping on those busy days with high shipping volumes. A behind the scenes role keeps him hidden day to day but come show season you'll see him at the booth with the rest of the gang.
