Aloha Geoff,
I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but I plan on moving back up to Oregon within a few years time and I'm trying to do a bit of homework for my next car. My first VW was when I was in high school and broke as a joke, so I didn't really get into the scene all that much. Hence, my lack of knowledge about good shops in the PacNW.
Thanks for the offer to help out when the time comes.

aloha,
