Hey Barbara!
Welcome! It's not a guys only list so stick around! I have been on this list
for over 5 years now and have learned a lot and met some wonderful people.
Thanks to the advice and assistance from the folks on the list, I am confident
enough to perform most repairs and maintenance on my van. I've made a few
mistakes along the way, but have seen more success and many trouble free miles
because of this list and the people on it.
There is a great mechanic in Missoula, he doesn't specialize in VW but I
bought a syncro from him about a year and a half ago that he had running so nicely
that it just flew. He had done a lot of work on it intending to keep it
himself as a hunting vehicle. His shop is called Culver's. Check him out if you are
near Missoula.
Have fun with your new van!
cheers,
Loretta
