Volks,

Please send me your reviews of VW Shops in North America.

The good, the bad, the ugly.

Not just the good experiences. Lets also inform each other of the bad
ones.

Shops that specialize in Busses, Vans and Eurovans, Air-cooled,
Water-Cooled, Gas & Diesel.

The whole enchilada.

Email the reviews to: roadguy@roadhaus.com

Thanks to your ongoing inputs, this Shop listing is the "Most Up to Date
& Comprehensive" in North America.

http://www.roadhaus.com/shops.html

I think there are over 300 shops in the current listing.

A very special thanks to Ron of Vanagon.Com and Steve of Syncro.Org for
allowing their data to be included in this listing.

Almost every US State, many Canadian Providences and a even a few
Mexican locations are covered.

BTW ...... Starting off on a trip - Not a bad idea to print out the info
on the states you will be traveling thru and dump it into the glove box.
Or if you will be caring a laptop .... Save the whole file to the
computer.

Every week I receive one or two new shop reviews. The last update was
Sept 1, 2004 and already I have 10-15 new ones to add.

Before I begin the next update I'd like to put out a call for more shop
reviews.

If you have had a good or bad experience and it's not already included
in our listing, please send it to me today.

Here's an example of a nice review:

Bugge Builders
825 Pacific Coast Highway
Hermosa Beach, California 90254

Owner: Graham Cruickshank

Repair ... VW, Audi, BMW & Mercedes

I've had my 1990 VW Westfalia camper van worked on by their shop for
over 4 years and they do excellent work. They are very good at
explaining what needs to be done and testing the parts to see if they
work before making you
spend tons of money. They have been working on VWs for many years so
they can often diagnose the problem very quickly.
