all the mobile mechanics i know stick to skoda and trabant. ocasionally they might work on a slant six, but only if its spark plugs. and even then its dicey, maybe, if your if your a friend of the family. maybe.
on a more serious note. here in the south okanagan, i know of 2 guys that will touch a van. and one of them will only do it when he desperatley needs money, which isn't very often.
so basic supply and demand theory suggest that with lots of vanagons, and few willing mechanics decrees "mucho denaros".
so my advice to you is pay what they ask, and be thankfull you've found somebody willing to fix a vanagon. or learn.
but thats here in the sunny okanagan, not the coast. good hunting!
