If your VW guy can't do brakes, I sure wouldn't want him doing anything on
the engine...

Cheers,

Jeff

I know a lot of us do what repair work we can on our Vanagons.  I am
wondering where you go when you are not able to do the repair.   For
instance, can Midas do a brake job?  Can Sears do a front end alignment?
Is the Vanagon so specialized that a franchise shop will screw it up or
can you rely on them to do miscellaneous tasks like this? My VW guy put
brakes on my Vanagon and screwed them up royally.  I'm not sure I want
him to do anything but engine work in the future.
