Hey Volks,

I'm planning a trip up to Denali and the Alaska region in my '85 Westy,
and am looking for a good mechanic in the Tacoma, WA area to
inspect/tune up to be sure all is ready to hit the road come June.
Anyone know of a particular shop that knows Vanagons?  Anyone had
experience with anyone great in my area?  I brought my '85 up from
Redding (Northern) California this January and haven't found a suitable
shop yet.  Thanks all!
