Mountainside Import ...They are in Newberg, Southwest of Portland. Phonr 503-537-4085 recommended by vanagon list member as very gooc

Heckmann & Theimann at 2327 SE Powell 503.233.4809 is generally considered to be the GL, or perhaps the Eurovan, of VW shops in Portland.

Scott is their Westy specialist. He's kept my last two Westys running. Highly recommended. Feel free to contact me re: directions, etc.

It looks like Oregon is a good place to break down (mechanical and metaphorical - it has good vibes, although I had one bad experience: cops don't stop to help. Period.) When you see the name of this shop AND the owner's name, you may think this is a farce. Not so. It is:

The No Name Garage, Inc.
4210 West 7th Ave.
Eugene, OR 97402
541 344-2251 (shop phone)
541 729-2251 (cell phone)
541 345-0877 (fax)

The owner/president is Tom Arnold. (I told you so). This is a VW shop - air and water cooled. Tom even offered to ship parts overnight to Weed, Calif. when my Westy blew his top one gnarly night. His yard fence consists of hundreds of snow skis attached vertically to the cyclone fence. This is a true VW cult classic

Just want to confirm that Bob is a great guy; 35 years in the business, honest and his prices are incredibly reasonable. He and a couple of his mechanics work out of a shop on his property in the rural area of Sandy, and they only service VWs. Needless to say, he knows all there is to know about VW's, and he drives a vanagon himself. It's a 45 minute drive for me from the Tigard area, but well worth it.

As a new member to this site I would like to recommend Han’s on Glisan in Southeast Portland. I have 3 VW’s, a 96 Jetta Trek, a 84 Wolfsburg Vanagon, and an 82 Westfalia full camper. Han’s has done everything from full motor rebuilds to tune ups and brakes. They also service and maintain my wife’s Suzuki Grand Vitara. Price is right and the service is great.
