I also have this same shop work on my westy-Very reasonable & honest volks! Ian doesn't do credit cards but does take checks-I forgot my check book & had run up a $450 bill for a new BD propane tank & install, change out O2 sensor rusted in, etc., & he said I could just mail him a check! I went & got cash from the ATM, but I don't know too many shops that would let you drive off w/o paying?

YMMV,

Mr. BZ-hate those sudden failures
