Michelle,

That is a really simple job, not one that necessarily needs a Vanagon
specialist.  Anyone who does VW repair should be able to handle it.  Just
don't take it to one of the muffler chains.

For other repairs though, the place to go in Raleigh is Transporter Werks on
West Street near the Amtrak station.  Shawn there specializes in busses and
vanagons.

Hi folks,

I was told by the inspection station around the corner that I'll need a new
muffler and tailpipe for my '85 Vanagon GL to pass inspection.  I've had
many people recommend Lonny as THE person in my area (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel
Hill, NC) to take your VW to but, alas, he no longer works at the gas
station to which I was told to go.  Does anyone know his current location or
have any other recommendations for reliable yet cheap (it could happen)
mechanics in my area?

Thanks in advance,
Michelle
