Title: Vw Bug Mechanic / Maintenance?
Post by: egspot on November 07, 2005, 03:07:44 PM


Hi guys,

I realized that My Bug needs some minor work and my living arrangement does not allow me to work on it where I live. I got the towers and the jack to drop the engine but can not at home.

I know that I need some work on the mounts (engine or trans.) Since I can't do it, it looks like I will have to pay a shop to do it.

Now I do not want to end up at the doors of the GOOD PEOPLE of Canadian Tires (God forbid.) So I am looking for suggestions of a decent VW mechanic preferably in Burnaby South or New Westminster area.

Thanks

Emilio

Hi Emilio,

I realize you're looking for a good mechanic in the Bby / NewWest area but if you're willing to drive a little further, I would strongly recommend \"Lou's Work Shop\" I'm sure a lot of people have at least heard of him, if not taken their car to him.

His shop is in N .Van but it's definitely worth the trip. His number is 985-3133

Hope that helps

Cheers

Tom

Ryan at  Hot Water can do it.  Or Hansig automotive just around the corner.  Both right beside the skytrain.
