Aircooled Repair Shop in LA

I'm in OC so not much help here. However, SOCer Eddy Karyadi is in LA and might have recommendations. Click on the 'Members' tab above and search Eddy Karyadi. Great guy with a really nice JPS coupe. 

Larry Jowdy is just a straight shot out the Pomona Freeway in Ontario.  You won't do better.

Although Ontario may be a bit of a drive for you, Larry Jowdy is THE man for these air-cooled Speedsters! He's also active on the Spyder site. 

Chico Performance Racing in Arcadia Ca. (626) 390-5107

Has a wall covered with trophies and articles of him from Hot VW. Has a Stuksta engine dyno. Clean shop..If you dropped your sandwich you could just pick it up and continue eating. Has good parts selection. If he can't help you he will know where to send you. He's connected.....Bruce

...And if you are near The San Fernando Valley... E&C on Reseda Blvd are very good.  Parts shop and service center.

Sorry, I have not visited the site for a while, since LA is kind of big, if you are close to the West Side or the South Bay, you can check out Auto Meister :

• Phone number(310) 545-0037

Ask for Robert or Randy. They work on aircooled VW & Porsche cars and it is pretty much hole in the wall, but they do a great job. It is easy to miss the shop. It is pretty much in front of the Target at Manhattan Beach. The price is reasonable. I like to think as you get a Porsche mechanic for a VW price.

As Jim said, if you are closer to Inland Empire, Larry Jowdy is the man. He has worked on my car a few times and every time he did a great job.

Good luck.
