Actually, I kinda like my local stealership. They do all my inspections (their guys are pretty detail oriented) and I'll occasionally let them do a repair if the price is OK. I'll let them diagnose and we talk about the price. They don't mind Vanagons, but are upfront and honest that a 20+ year old vehicle can have more than one thing wrong with it. WAY too $$$ for common things, but that's the case even w/ a new car at the dealer.
