You can use my driveway (garage if necessary) and tools
to change your oil, and i'll get rid of the oil for
you.  You can flush your coolant too if you like.  If
you prefer a shop, check out syncro.org for a link to
Karl's approved vanagon shops...under tech links.
There are several listed for the bay area.

When will you be in SF?  I'm along the ocean near the
mouth of the bay, and there is even safe overnight
parking nearby.
