Hi all,

I live in Golden, just outside Denver.  I know the guys at JDB.  Loren is correct that a few years ago Ken Morgan was the head mechanic - he is unethical, untrustworthy, unknowledgeable about VWs, and in general a very bad guy to deal with.  Ken and JDB parted ways about three years ago and since that time Rick is the head mechanic.  Rick is quite possibly the most knowledgeable Vanagon and Eurovan mechanic in the country. I would endorse JDB.  I trust Rick implicitly.

If anyone is looking at a Van in the Denver area, feel free to ping me and I would be happy to take look at it for you.

Z

I think you are talking about JDB Imports.  They have been selling Westies
on Auto Trader and other places for years now.  I have a very vauge memory
of a neutral to negative comment about them in the past years but nothing
definitive.  And that is the general geographic area where there was an
engine re-builder, Ken Morgan IIRC, that created real problems for a lot of
people.  But if 'Rick' isn't that guy who knows.
