I stopped in Sebastopol for some repairs on my Vanagon last summer while on a road trip. Hans and the crew at J & W Foreign Auto Service were totally cool with bumping me to the front of the list for my emergent repairs and cut me a deal when I paid in cash. I'd go there again if I were in the little town of sebasipole!
