So. Looking forward to this - https://www.facebook.com/JuneBugClassicVW - which is sponsored by these guys - http://www.ulrichsusedcars.com/ - - our personal mechanics; won't go anywhere else!

Look, I loved our old mechanics. LOVED. Well, the 'old guy', anyway. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago and left the business to his son and grandson and, needless to say, it aint the same. How I miss Frank, and remember fondly how much he loved mein Dieter, once giving me a paper cone of wine to assuage my crying, saying, "Ja, don't worry - we fix your car.", while warmly patting my hand. ♥

But. The new guys somehow managed to rebuild my entire rusted-out strut tower - for a more than fair price - and that is unheard of. They are dedicated and honest. Imagine. Plus, really cute.



Also - nothing bad can happen while Kraftwerk is playing.

A good, honest mechanic is worth his/ her weight in gold!

Good mechanics are like good doctors and good teachers; they all receive the same training, all do the same job, but the good ones are few and far between. I had one of those when I had my darling Mustang. Ralph. The gas tank went and while it was being loaded onto the tow truck, both shock towers went. Both. And they do not make a replacement for those. He rebuilt them from sheet metal, by hand, and repaired them so it was seamless. And when I couldn't afford to pay for all of that at once? "No problem, just pay me what and when you can, and I'll keep working on it." He started my baby everyday, drove it around a few times a week, kept her in perfect shape until she could come home. Even sanded down some surface rust and touched up the damn paint. No charge. Feeling maudlin today, wound up parked to a '69 hardtop yesterday and it all came back.

Yeah, but Ralph was't cute. At all. But he always had kittens.

By pure luck, we found a GOOD & HONEST and reasonable mechanic a few years back. It's almost better than finding a good doctor. I'm glad you're little VW has someone good taking care of him.
