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???

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.).
