I've been out to their place a number of times. They buy Vanagons and Eurovans from all over the country and get them into selling shape. I've seen them completely tear down and rebuild some, or just do the heads, fix interior bits, service, etc. others that are in good shape. The owner uses his own in-house Vanagon mechanic for most of the work, but also farms some out to Blazer Automotive. They're very knowledgeable and seem like good guys. Also, they stand by their vehicles and their warranty. A friend who bought a Eurovan MV from them had a few issues come up soon after purchasing, and he was able to take it back to them to fix whatever needed to be fixed. I know another guy who bought a Vanagon MV from them. They had two available, and they let him take each for extended overnight test drives so they could decide exactly what they wanted. The one that they purchased developed problems with the central locking system, and JDB took it back in a fixed the problems. I looked several times, but could not afford (or, more specifically, couldn't justify paying for) what they sell, but they do get some nice Vanagons in there. They had an '87 Canadian-spec cream/yellow Syncro in there a few years ago that I almost mortgaged my life for... Joe T.
