I've been going to Import Service Centre [sic] on = Aurora, a little north of the twin teepees. They don't specialize in = VWs, but they have been helpful, honest and competent on some tricky = jobs.
They even took on a snapped alternator bracket bolt = that another shop has tried and failed to fix.
YMMV,

OK all you Northwesty's (sorry), I bet you are
expecting a recc from me for the best =
mechanic/garage
in Seattle. Actually, I just moved back out here =
after
being gone for 2 years and while my '89 is =
running
like a charm, it never hurts to be prepared =
because
the day always comes when I need some help.
So if you have any people in the Puget Sound Area =
you
can speak highly of, I'd love to hear about =
them.
I used to use Hans some(?Foreign auto) over in =
West
Seattle, a real honest guy, and willing to help out =
in
a pinch, and affordable, and I'd like to see what =
else
is out there. He seems like an air cooled guy
primarily and I'm not sure he's that focused on =
the
Water cooled Vanagon. Besides, I'm living in =
Capital
hill now.
I mentioned this morning I used to Use Bill at
VashonWagon on the island, I think hes got another =
gig
now besides car repair. I'm not that broken up over =
it
because he was expensive. He was cool about letting =
me
use his lot though to do my own repairs, that saved =
my
ass when I had to drop my gas tank the first week =
i
had the Bus, Arghh!
I'd love to hear your stories about Seattle =
mechanics.
Hope this isn't too obscure for the greater =
