Subject:      Vanagon repair shop in Wichita, KS??
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi,

I have an '87 Westy and I'm on my way back to North Carolina after a trip out to the Pacific Northwest (wonderful)! My starter has given out and I managed to land near the VW dealer in Wichita, KS. Can anyone recommend a shop in Wichita to swap the starter/solenoid for me? Usually the dealers have a ridiculous lead time and I like to patronize local shops that do good work.

As an aside, when I try to start the van I hear only the sound of a motor, no cranking at all. So, I'm guessing the solenoid has gone south. There seem to be a number of shops here that will either rebuild mine or where I can get a bosch rebuild.

Thanks in advance very much for the help!
