I was trying to be "nice". When it comes to shop incompetence or even thievery don't get me started. And Vanagons are not the only vehicles that suffer from this. When I think of some service experiences with my moto home I get scarred every time I drive near a truck or bus. Dennis
-----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Edward Maglott Sent: Saturday, July 2, 2016 10:00 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: why I discourage people from buying vanagons Dennis says: "One thing you will find as a new Vanagon owner is that most regular shops are not equipped or willing to bother with vehicles of this vintage, never mind the Vanagon with its idiosyncrasies." worse yet are those shops that don't know what they are doing but try to work on the Vanagon anyway, causing much more damage than good.
