Another good thing about Spokane is that there are a couple excellent Vanagon technicians reasonably close. Obie Bradshaw, the retired owner of Obie’s Import Repair who retired to Spokane a few years back and is still doing some side work and Jason Newton, an ASI master European technician, down in Walla Walla. Each has forgotten more about VW products than I’ve ever known. They are mechanics that I wouldn’t hesitate to send my wife or mother to. Higher praise I cannot give. Jim |
