Apologies if this is somewhere in the Forum. Somehow the search utility doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm moving from Vancouver to Kelowna as is my much-loved '91 vanagon.

The only downside of this move is that I must leave the care of Amin at George and Berny's (who didn't get much of a review here, but whom I've found simply excellent.)

Suggestions re a good mechanic would be very welcome.

Thanks.

Liz, nearly in Kelowna

I have used Sundance auto in downtown kelowna, for stuff i don't feel like doing myself and he has done great work for me. There is atleast one other vw mechanic I have heard does good work also, but i forget his name and never used him myself.

Sundance auto
#1 1905 evergreen court, kelowna, B.C.
phone: 861-8066

And welcome to Kelowna, Its beautiful here. Just to bad it littered with douche bags and dick heads!

Cheers!

Have a look for O'Neil Motors at the north end of town.

Hi all I am new to this and sort of new to Kelowna. I have owned my yellow 71 Super Beetle now for 2 years and bought it sight unseen. I had some engine work done in Kamloops at Axells Autobody.
My beetle needed some more work when I moved here and found this forum and the information on Sundance Auto. I took it there and couldnt be any happier.
I have bought parts from cip1 but was curious if there is any other sites to look at for parts?
I am also looking for someone local that does a good job on upholsery. My front seats are badly ripped and are baige, my rear seat has a tear and is white. Id love to change it all over to black.
As well my beetle has a number of small rust bubbles on it and needs a bit of body work, can anyone suggest where to take it?

Thank you everyone for any help and advice you can offer. Smile

I'm pretty sure O'Neil Motors is gone now.

I have taken my Beetles/Buses to a mechanic in Vernon a few times, many years ago: Partly Dave's Neighbourhood Garage.

I'm not sure if he's still in business, but this guy definitely knows VW's, other German Cars (and motorcycles). He used to have a stash of VW parts as well, even some NOS stuff sitting on the shelf.

Also, AVR has a Kelowna location: http://avrparts.com/
