I was only able to find one who specializes in vw's (Steve's Pit Stop) but he's retired. Anyone else have good experience with bettle mechanic in Simi or neighboring cities?

Thanks!

What kind of work do you need done?

There are periodic VW meets in Simi by Drivers Wanted of the SFV:
https://www.facebook.com/Drivers-Wanted-VW-car-club-159603580769650/timeline

...and also a 2-year old active club in the Conejo Valley (Newbury Park):
https://www.facebook.com/Conejo-Valley-Vintage-VW-Club-581372388636504/timeline

The latter has some good mechanics and engine folks. Next meet is June 12th.

I want to have the engine looked at (was just given a 75 standard auto stick), and possibly also get a front drum-to-disc work done.

If Oxnard isn't too far for you, I can highly recommend McCullen Motors 805/983-1191. Talk to Joe or Shannon.

Jim @ Just Volkswagens in Sun Valley is great. He's one of the few I would trust with my stuff.

I can't edit my post above, but I can no longer recommend McCullen Motors. There work used to be good, but it's really slipped in the last year. Sorry.
