Exciting things are happening at Mid-America Motorworks! 🙌

After the tornado, rebuilding our warehouse has been a long process, but we’re making big strides! We’ve invested approximately $125,000 in new racking, received our first two truckloads, and already have four full rows underway in our 30,000 sq. ft. facility.

Our goal is to have the entire warehouse organized, stocked, and operating on our new warehouse management system by our December Open House!

Thank you for sticking with us through this journey. We’re excited for what’s ahead!

Throwback to VW Funfest 2005! 🐞🎬

That year we welcomed , better known as Paco from Herbie Goes Bananas, to Effingham.

And waiting for him was an old co-star—our screen-used “Spinning Herbie” from the movie. More than 20 years after filming, Paco and Herbie were back together again!

Who remembers Joaquin’s visit to VW Funfest in 2005?
