*Here's what's listed on Larry's mechanics list - unfortunately it looks
like the really good guy in Rapid City has moved away. I spent some time at
his shop too - a lot of us did!
Good luck, I hope you can find someone to help!

We went to this address in Sept 09 with (what turned out to be) a noisy CV
joint. The shop was closed and the business at that store front said Rocky
moved to Alaska.

Roadhaus blew a piston ... Rocky and Mike rebuilt the engine after piston
failure, installing new German OE Pistons, reverting the 2.2L Eurocars
engine back to a stock 2.1L. Great attention to detail and quality of work.
Fair prices and very honest. Total hours worked much more than hours billed.
Really cared about helping get me back on the road with as reliable an
engine as possible. Also, camped in front of the shop. Each night we pushed
the Van out of the service bay and plugged into Rockys electric. Each
morning we pushed her back in. Now that's service IMHO!

Hands down, the best. They have a shop full of beautiful old vw's. These
guys will do anything from mechanical work, to full restoration it seems. I
highly recommend them. Fair prices, and EXCELLENT work. I wish I could bring
them with me where ever I go.

My westy's brand new Go Westy engine blew up outside of Wall, SD. Paul gave
me a number for a tow truck. Then later he came down picked it up and put a
new Go Westy engine in it within a few days. Then he dropped it off at the
airport in Rapid City for my convenience. I had to fly back in from
Minneapolis to get it. Excellent service all the way around!! Great guy!! So
if your VW breaks down in the Black Hills area...call Paul Kay Imports!
