Title: Need to find a good VW shop
Post by: EricJr on July 25, 2010, 09:02:12 AM

Ok I have tried everything to get my bug running again to no avail. I need to take it to a shop to get it running and I just want some suggestions. I used to go to D&B in north van but they're not around now. Any suggestions anywhere to stay away from? Thanks.

Look for "Looking for someone to tune my carb! "

You will find Notchback/ Bruce and he can help you.

Let me know if you find a shop.

I am also looking for a shop to take my beetle to get my carb/flat spot sorted out.

If not Bruce, then try German Motor Car in Port Moody.

I am not a vw shop but play with vw's when I am slow I have been working on them for 20 years  and I know an old boy that assembled vw's in germany that knows everything about them that helps me out some times. He is rebuilding the six rib for my manx right now he has all the tools and seems to be verry good if you need some work done.I have a marine repair shop for fiberglass and paint in port coquitlam and I am a certified frame and body tek I do all my own wielding and fab work lots of rail cars this is my car call 604 817 4109

Thanks everybody for your help. The guy that built my engine installed the distributor drive shaft 180 degrees out. I had to turn the distributor around and it fired up like nobodys business.
