Try A & J Automotive 813-996-6306  Granted they are in Springhill, just above Tampa, but they are good folks and also own a Vanagon in which they go to VW Shows and sell toys out of. If they can't work on it, I am sure they would know of a place around your area.

  Does anyone know of a good Vanagon Mechanic (brakes, shocks, etc.) in the Clearwater/St. Pete are of Florida.  I would go over to Tampa if needed.

  No engine work involved.

  Thanks in advance.
