Dave--

I appreciate your opnion and ideas. And I agree to some extent. But I want to
add
while I don't expect service like Amazon.com from a small business either I
have always gotten it from Ken at Vanagain--in fact better. I hate to see all
list vendors pulled into a discussion about a problem with one. We certainly
don't blame, or is it credit, all Germans for the Vanagon ;)

I have never EVER seen a negative post about Ken and Vanagain service or
parts. I have used him many times for parts and everything has arrived as
promised in the time promised. I had one issue with a part once and Ken
quickly turned into a solution to my satisfaction.

My experience with Ken is he is a hardworking, honest, helpful, knowledgable,
efficient, low-priced and friendly business owner.

I know these Bus Depot service posts become long back and forths that
understandably irritate some. But, to drag it on a bit, I would add I think
Vanagain and Bus Depot offer different services. And I just hate to see
Vanagain who I think has shown themselves to be an A+ vendor, pulled in to a
potential bad service discussion when Vanagain is not the vendor at issue.


My two cents
