I dont know anything about there work,  but if you do have to go in for somthing try chatting him up about SCCA Pro Rally.  I believe he used to have a Group B Audi and raced it all over the place,  my wife and I helped roll his car back over onto all four wheels, and get him out of the middle of a Stage at the STPR Rally up in Pennsylvania in 2001.  II bet if you mention your a rally fan and know some spectators that helped roll him back onto his wheels, you might get on his good side.

Subject: Mechanic Inquiry/ NYC Vanagons

Hi folks,
    Has anyone had experience with the Quattro Center in the Ridgewood
section of Queens NY? Its run by a older gentleman named Bruno Kreibich.  My
work had me driving in that area, and I saw only VW's and Audis out front,
so I went and grabbed a card. Asked if he would work on Vanagons, he tersely
replies "yes." This could be a good resource for new yorkers who can't make
the haul out to Dennis Haynes'.
    I wanted to inquire as well: How many NYC vanagon/bus owners are on the
list? I my neighborhood (NW brooklyn) there's seems to be an ever growing
number. With in a couple blocks of my house theres a 68 camper, a diesel
westy and a few 80's vanagons. To the south in Willliamsburg, it seems there
are even more. It almost sounds like it's time for someone to organize a
communal garage, like I think I remember hearing about in Portland OR, or
for a good mechanic to open shop.
