This is my first VW, and it has somewhat thrown me into the field of
auto-mechanics. I really need to learn to do my own maintenance, but I'm
really ignorant in this area and the manuals aren't helping me much. A tech
session sounds great; hands on learning would me much easier.
Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome to the list. Most of us do our own repairs, I haven't used any of the
local VW shops around Houston in a long time. The only one I would recommend is
Jeff's Bug shop in Bellaire. I don't know his number but I'm sure he's listed.
If it's just basic maintanance that you are needing, we often have tech
sessions at different peoples houses. Is this your first VW???
Welcome to the gang.

Hey everyone,
I'm Hayden West from Spring, I recently bought a '72 Westfalia. I'm new to the
tcb, and I was wondering if there's anyone out there who knows of a place
nearby where I can get some work done on my bus (carburetor, wheel alignment,
ect.).
Thanks
