We use M&M Automotive in Aloha exclusively for my Westy syncro and my
daughter's Westy, as well as my daily driver '76 bug.  Nick Ellis is the
owner.  They are ex-VW people with lots of experience.

One of my favorite stories is when I had my van in the shop and Nick said it
wouldn't be ready that day because he took a belt off of mine to put on a
tourist's van that had broken down in the area.  He didn't have the part and
he knew it's what I would have done.

But with any shop, you still need to read the list and have a good idea of
what causes what symptoms.
