First of all, they only work on VWs. And the "cash only" sign really means the
green paper kind, not pay with credit card the same day. As a repeat
customer who lives in the neighborhood, they will take my check. And they're
only open Tues-Sat.
But they're fair and honest; they really know VWs; and they usually don't
charge for diagnostic work. The first time I went in there another mechanic
had told me I needed a major brake job, but he didn't have the parts for a VW.
West Coast inspected my car and called BS on him; told me to come back in
another 3-4k miles -- no charge.
One more disadvantage -- they get backed up sometimes, and can't
complete the work the day you bring in your car, and since they're closed
Sun. and Mon., sometimes that means bring it back next week. And right
now, I've been waiting a couple days for a call to see if they can fit me in this
Saturday--but I don't really wanna take my Cabrio to anyone else. They
always seem to have several vintage microbuses and bugs around they're
doing rebuilds on, but they also get a lot of newer VWs.

I've been taking a '79 Bay window to Debbie for a few
years now. It took several visits to get a gas leak
fixed, but otherwise working with her has been flawless,
and I'm a little bit of a high maintenance customer. I
mean I want these done fast, right, and cheap. She also
finds out-of-production VW parts very quickly. Bus is
purring at this point. I drive past several other VW
shops, because going to her has been that good.
They do take credit cards, in fact, she can do it over the
phone, so there's no paperwork when you pick up.
