Don't know if these do it -- from a legal link. (http://www.southernbajalegalservices.com/partners/) Don't know these guys and don't vouch for them. If one works for you, let me know and
I"ll add him to the Mechanics in Baja thread.

Thanks Lee, but those are not the guy I'm looking for. I was in the shop Thursday, but lost his card.akbear - 11-4-2012 at 06:40 PM
This is from an old card but info should be good. I went by there 2 months ago.

The brother down the street David, is up to date on all the new models of VW much more so than the VW dealer. This I know!!!!!!willyAirstream - 11-4-2012 at 07:37 PM
It is the one with all the baja bugs out front. I'm toying with the idea of getting an older pre runner to play with off road. Actually, if anyone
knows of any rail type cars like a Funco or Chenwth, or any vw based old race car or sandrail, let me know.
Rogelio has the rep as " the vw off road man"
thx allgnukid - 11-4-2012 at 07:48 PM
There are many Baja Bug class vehicles ready for renewal in La Paz at other race shops too. Rogelio is known as very good and also expensive, there
are others too and perhaps you should hang out a bit and meet them first and see their work. You need to decide exactly what level you are going for.
Every racer builds a car and then they often sell them after a race if the design isn't going to win, so those cars are cheaper, but a winning car is
high cost. Of course the fun is building your own car, so meet the mechanics first. Lots of options available for class vehicles.weebray - 11-5-2012 at 03:58 PM
I have known Rojelio for over 20 years. I still have his original business card. Way back then the motto on the card was "if you don't like
volkswagens, go flock yourself - do it today! I had a VW repair shop in Berkeley and used to bring him parts when I came down. The motto of our shop
was "slow but expensive." I always thought it was a good one till I saw the sign on a shop in Washington State. "We cheat the other guy and pass the
savings on to you." Oh, that's a good one.comitan - 11-5-2012 at 05:38 PM
