Ava Auto Works - Bellingham (WA)

Wilmarie Santos Hands down best VW shop. They make you feel like family and take excellent care of all your vehicle needs. 100% recommended. Roxy and I love you all.

T Matyas We have never had anything close to the service and special attention that was given us. Kirk went over and above what a person would experience elsewhere. We will always take our vehicles to Angler Automotive. Kirk and his team are highly recommended!

RICHARD SCHWARTZ Josh mentioned he would like to be a yoga instructor, the perfect temperament for someone trying to keep Vanagons alive and well! We made it all the way from Seattle to Bellingham on our Alaska trip before noticing an issue of concern (par for the course when on a Vanagon safari). He assessed the situation for us, walked us around the van for a pre-trip inspection and then took care of what needed to be done and pointed out things we should keep an eye on. Alaska here we come! Addendum to my review. For years we have not been able to use the heating/cooling controls on the dash to get outside cool air into the van, the air was hot no matter how we set the control levers (not fun on hot days). We have put off dealing with it figuring the entire dash would have to be pulled apart to get to the cables and it would cost a fortune. I mentioned it to Josh and he immediately grabbed a few tools, hopped into the drivers seat, popped off the cover over the gauges, and made a few adjustments. It took all of 10 to 15 minutes. Today we have cool fresh air coming in! Clearly Josh knows every square inch of these vans.

Lee Brian “BarnCat” They were quick efficient and honest. Even going a little bit above and beyond in taking a look at the vehicle before its appointment to help get wheels back under me sooner. Glad to say with the most certainty that my vehicle has a new primary care provider.

Jascha Herlihy Great experience with this team. Thank you Mike for your thoughtful explanation and helping lay out my options when diagnosing my vehicle. I felt well informed, not jerked around with helpful advice to make informed decisions. Waiting room was nice, WiFi was good and I was able to work while my car was being diagnosed.

Cheresh Matt (MC) Jeremie went over and above with a very difficult problem on my 25-year old truck, for which parts are not readily available. He spent way more time than he charged me for. Thank you, Jeremie!!
