Re: Servicing your bongo in the lower mainland BC, canadians?
Diplomat, Can't say I disagree with you, especially since it would be so difficult to service here if I do encounter issues. Maybe when the market for them matures here then that would be alright.

Re: Servicing your bongo in the lower mainland BC, canadians?
My desire is to have a van that I can take a small family camping, with minimal fuss...something that we can use when its not perfect weather...I live downtown Vancouver so owning a tent trailer is tough, as we would have to store elsewhere.

Servicing your bongo in the lower mainland BC, canadians?
Hey!
I'm looking to purchase a bongo soon here in Canada. Are there any repair shops that are familiar with the bongo around Vancouver? Would love to hear from any canadian bongo owners that are around!
Thanks!
