"We are the (sometimes not-quite-so) proud owners of a '80 Vanagon which we

allows the user to click on the State they live in and find Vanagon owners
who allow travellers to camp in their driveways and also can recommend
local mechanics.  Can anyone email us the link so we can find that list?
Not only do we need a mechanic, but we'd like to access that list when we
do in fact get the '80 up and running and ready to travel.
Thanks so much from a newbie...

there come a couple of lists to mind:

http://www.type2.com  and then AIRS (Aircooled Interstate Rescue Squad)
http://www.westfalia.org and then Roll Call
and a site for "only" recommended mechanics http://www.vanagon/com and then
"Vendors" and follow the link to "recommended repair shops"
