Hi, All - After years (decades, really) of lusting after a VW camper, I finally bought a 1984 Westfalia. In general it is in great shape, but it needs a few minor items repaired/serviced/checked etc. Although I live in an urban area of 94,000 people, the nearest VW dealership is nearly 100 miles away! (though I wouldn't typically go to a VW dealer for most service) I had to find a good local VW mechanic on my own - relying on some heresay and opinions of a few friends who owned Vanagons. Could LiMBO maintain some sort of VW service technician/mechanic rating database for its members? This could be based on a simple (1 page) form that members (and anyone else who would like to participate) would fill out regarding their experience with any VW mechanic. (Maybe the form could be on the website? ...or maybe the form could be electronically submitted to the website?) I think that this would be of GREAT use to Vanagon owners, especially new VW owners (like myself!). I'd be happy to help develop a form, and, heck, I'd even be happy to compile the data if completed forms were sent to me. Seems like there should be some way that we could put this together... Just an idea, Marty Wallace (1984 Westfalia) Chico, California
