We appreciate our sweet customers bringing yummy sweets for the VanGo team. Betsy (and Nellie, her VW) treat us with their loyal business... and now this!? We sure love our customers (sweets or not).

These days cars are manufactured like computers on wheels. If your BMW’s electronics are acting up, Maxx or another VanGo doctor can get you answers with our factory ISTA technology and their German car expertise. We love solving problems!

💥 Myth Busted!

Here's why we recommend skipping the quick l**e route when you can:

🔧 Quality matters - the oil and filters used are often lower grade than what a reputable full-service shop uses.

🔧 Quick is not thorough - your vehicle deserves a proper, complete oil change, not a rushed one. Our technicians take your car for a test drive and take the time to understand its needs.

🔧 You build a relationship - when you stick with one trusted shop, we get to know your vehicle inside and out. We get to know you.

🔧 We catch problems early - oil change inspections are often where we spot small issues before they become expensive repairs. That's real preventive care you miss out on elsewhere.

🔧 Specialty matters too - German cars, for example, thrive under the care of German import specialists. Our car doctors know exactly the TLC these vehicles need.

Bottom line: Building a relationship with one shop for ALL your vehicle's needs, oil changes included, means better care, better catches, and better long-term outcomes for your car.

Nothing like supporting our West 7th businesses! Our staff swapped out the shop grease for a fun night out together - great food at Pizza Maya and Lodge of Lazarus Crowe's escape room. Go check these local gems out for yourself!

VanGo converts classic VW Vanagons to modern day technology, installing OBD-II and a Subaru motor. We love keeping these sweet vehicles on the road. Maxx brings you along for the ride.

Those with treats can pass Lenny on VanGo's new mezzanine. Up there you will find specialty tools and fluids. This addition has opened up valuable floor space in the shop allowing VanGo technicians to work their magic more comfortably.
