Date: Sun, 13 Feb 2011 11:27:28 -0700 Reply-To: T-rev Reynolds <gneiss9@GMAIL.COM> To all who have lived on Vancouver Island, who are the recommended VW shops for Vanagon repairs/engine rebuilds? Also any advice on reputable paint shops? Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Trevor Reynolds "SEN" '91 GL 2Wheel drive, AT, Westy http://westfalia-91restore.blogspot.com/ ----------------- Hi Trevor, Ditto on Al & Neil's reference to the Roadhaus list of repair shops. Just reviewed the list and there are a couple current updated reports on a few of the shops on VI. The VW Dealers, located at Nanaimo and Courtenay, are both Vanagon friendly and experienced. The Nanaimo Dealer actually stocks rebuilt WBXer engines. I do not know who rebuilds the engines. The VW Dealer in Victoria had a stellar reputation. Current management avoids working on Vanagons…. 8-( Paint Shops? Only local knowledge which is not much help unless you drive to Courtenay or Campbell River. Welcome to the Rock. regards Phil Z.
