I go to a guy called Tom who is the owner of B&G Truck and Auto repair, 4550 N Elston Ave, Chicago 60630. Phone is 773-545-1777. He is not a Vanagon specialist but has done solid, honest work ever since I started going to him (about 8-10 years I guess). In particular, when I had a transmission problem on my late lamented 83 1/2 which - according to the VW mechanic and Vanagon enthusiast I had previously gone to - was irreparable, Tom quite literally tightened a few bolts and it was running again.

Steve 91, 90 and (parked) 84 GL's.
