I have to say that I've had nothing but good experiences with mechanics and 'parts guys'. OK so I've only owned 2 buses over 12 months but I thought I'd add my good experiences nonetheless.

The Bug Shop here in Vancouver has done very good, very polite, and very prompt work for me. When I bought my second bus I needed quite a few things done in a hurry since I needed to drive it. Since I was spending the insurance company's money I got The Bug Shop to do all of the work. They did it for a very good price (I hung out at the shop for a lot of the time that it was being done so I know that it took them several more hours than they charged me) and finished at least 20 times faster than if I had tried to do it myself.

Also when buying a couple aprts at California Imports I was treated with a friendly smile, good advice, and walked away with the right part.
