"Mike Cory is the owner and prinicpal mechanic. He is definitely one of the most honest, knowledegable, and trustworthy mechanics I have ever been to. He works on a LOT of Vanagons and is even very familiar with Syncros. His prices are very reasonable, and he is very easy to talk to - he will even explain procedures to you as he works on the car, and doesn't mind being watched while he works. I would give Cory Motors the highest rating possible for honesty, reliability, knowledge, and quality of work."

"I had a great experience with H&R Motors today (Seth Hatfield). One CV replaced, both sides fully cleaned and re-packed. Great folks to deal with, knowledgeable, fair pricing. Seth's setup seems similar to Fred's in Redwood City: well established, faithful following, funky setting. Just like all our favorite places, I'm sure. Visit Seth at H&R if you ever need help, or are considering a Subaru conversion. He's stoked on those and has done a number of them."
