It's true that for quality service and good advice not to mention good quality part's it is definetly better to go with such great vanagon venders as Vanagain, Bus Depot, and Bus boy's. However let's face it, for vanagon owners like me who don't have a lot of money, and already know a lot about my van, you know I am gonna try to get a little better  price for a part of equal quality. Right now I need to replace many things on my van and I have to shop for price and quality. The part's place I mentioned  before will tell you the part brand. Vanagain & Bus Depot are the best and have helped me in the past. They are both in my favorites list. John 90 vangon GL
