Mechanic or Body shop! Usually when there body damage one needs body work not engine serviced

We mechanics don't only do engines....

But yes, a body shop is what you should really be looking for if there was body /frame damage.

If they can't help I'm sure they can point you in the right direction. I was just out in Portland and there is a bus or Vanagon on every side street you pass. SOMEBODY's keepin 'em alive out there!

SE Powell & 26th, blue Bus tangled with a Volvo? :shock:

Head up to Halsey Automotive, talk to Rob at the parts counter about bodywork. Not sure who he's using but he's having his Vanagon painted in prep for a high-top installation. The repair section has been having work done at JC paint & body across the street, but I've heard some people got a sketchy vibe from there so .. dunno.

You avatar says Denver, and I can recommend a superb metal guy there. But I know no one in Portland.
