Try the Vanagon Rescue Squad app.

It lists Mark Dearing of Salem Import Service as being 20 miles from Blacksburg.

Phone is 5 four 0 3 eight 9 xxxx. (Edit, Phone number removed since contact has been made.)

Good luck. BTDT.

(I called the OP and left a voice message with the info).

I had a deal like this a while back. Turned out to be my clutch needed to be bled.
Will the van shift with the engine off?

I am originally from Blacksburg, VA. The best shop in the area is called the Bug Shop. They are located in Blacksburg and he has been working on VW's for 30 years there.

Just got a text from the OP that Mark Dearing is taking care of them. The OP says thanks to everyone who helped. :D
