Too far south for you, but if you were able to get to the north Seattle, this guy could be of service:

I know there are a couple of VW shops in Bellingham (John's VW, down in Fairhaven, might still be around).

Jon's Repair

Phone number (360) 733-1982

Northwest European autoworks

Both of these companies have been great for me.
Jon's repair is by appointment only I believe, so leave a message and he will get back to you.

There is another "vanagon specialist" in Bellingham but I can't remember the name. I don't think they advertise, but the other two shops may know who it is. "Referrals only" or something like that.

Awesome, thanks guys! I appreciate the replies, I'll be looking into these shops.
I'm hoping to back around for Vanapaloza! I'll be heading back from bonnaroo the week before.

Thanks for the suggestions... I just added these shops to the VanAlert app to help other Vanagon owners. Much appreciated.
