Greetings.

Talked the the folks at VW in Terrace. Indeed, the owner of the syncro
crewcab in Aiyansh does have his vehicle serviced in Terrace. Apparently
the owner of the crewcab is a school teacher and last recollection by
the service manager was that the crewcab was kept in good condition.
Thats all I got from him.
