Great Answer Seth...
Adria Import is an A+ recommendation, a father and son run garage. Super
bunch of people over there.
Rudy & Peter's is a great shop as well, this garage has been around since
the sixties.
I've had work done there ( replaced exhaust - labour only) there prices
seemed reasonable.
Rudy & Peter Motors
225 East 2nd Ave ( 2nd & Main)
604 879 0491
Both are Pretty much exclusively Vanagons and Buses ...take your pick
Call in advance, both the above shops are always very busy.
You could also check out S&M auto, there just off Commercial Drive on
Venables
John is the guy you want to talk to there. He's done lot's of work for me,
mostly on my Jetta though.
Although I trusted him to do the mechanical inspection on my Van when I
bought it a couple of years back.
S&M Auto
1626 Venables
