Wow, I am so very behind on the list! Just now reading through over 2,800 posts! Gee!

Anyway, I've been driving my Vanagon for many a year here in the Valley

of the Sun Stroke! I've seen a couple dozen or so in recent memory!

I use Carroll's Foreign Cars over in Glendale. 1 block south of Glendale, off 54th Ave. Their # is: 623-939-4266. I've been happy with

their service, they've covered their own out-of-warranty work as if under warranty. Ask for Bill or Scott & tell them that Timothy & Sparky

sent you.
