Maintenance

I'm getting very close to my first 3000 mile oil change and valve adjustment. With my Brittany Spears like mechanical ability I'm looking for a good VW mechanic in the north Orange County area of So. California,Brea,Fullerton that area. Anybody have any suggestions?

you might ask kirk at VS if he can recommend someone.

Welcome Ken,

You can try this guy. He has worked on my carbs and seems very knowledgable.

Gabe,I'm closer than you think. I live in Placentia at Lakeview & Orangthorpe. I've seen you a couple of times turning from Rose onto Orangethorpe in the morning. Several times when I thought about driving my Speedster but thought it was a little to cold and there you went making me feel like a wuss! I did talk to Kirk and he said they do that type of thing but I would like to have somebody close by in case of an emergency.

Ken,
It's super simple to do that work yourself.
The problem with having someone else adjust the valves is you have to do it when the engine is cold, as in the morning before the car has run.
Pick a speedster buddy close by and have them come over and help you do it the first time. After adjusting the valves, Take it out for a spin over to McD's and by your buddy an egg mcmuffin, go back home and change the oil. You want to do that when the oil is warm.

Proformance is the place to go.

Dave really knows his stuff.

I have been very happy with the work he did for me, and his prices are reasonable.

I did talk to Kirk and he said he can take care of it but I think Proformance may be the way to go. Close to home and well recommended. Thanks for your help. On another matter I've noticed it seems every year there is a trip to Chino Airport thru Carbon Canyon. Is there a chance that trip may be coming up in the near future?

Sure!!!!!! Well the invite is in. Let's here it from you crazy SOC Gangsters. Who's hungry for a run and some chow!!!! Chino for breakfast!!!!!
