 competent but quirky local VW mechanic, learn how to upkeep my own van? >>




I would say YES to this question...anyone can learn but you just have to get
your hands dirty and know it may take you an hour or more longer than someone
who knows what there doing but hey you did it and you know how to do it again
once you've finished you will feel better bout it and your wallet will be
fuller=)
