<Anyone know a good Vanagon mechanic in the
<West Los Angeles/Santa Monica area?

Foreign Autohaus at 13123 Washington Blvd. adjacent to Marina del Rey
(310)306-7840.  Pete, Gerd and Tony are the BEST.  They do not advertise
but word-of-mouth has kept them busy for over 30 years.  They work on a lot
of vanagons and they are reasonably priced, thorough, and very nice.
Do not go to German Car Service on Olympic Blvd in Santa Monica; they may
have been good at one time, but the current crop of mechanics can't seem to
get anything right.
