After our alaska trip the atego was waiting for lubricate. And there were odd metal punches when we had hiden potholes. I searched the internet, found E & A Auto Repair, (they are doing service on european vehicles as well) and the good evaluation convinced me to choose this workshop and what can I say: Nazier Abuzied is a genius! Within seconds he had located the faults, fixed a few screws, cleaned all parts before he greased them again and checked everything. He even knew construction details of the atego which had evolved through the years, – although those vehicles are not available in north america.
Since 10 years Nazier is an american citizen. He was born and raised in the Sudan and in the age of 14 he owned his first car workshop. For some years he serviced the lamborghinis, bentleys and mercedes of the sheikhs before he founded his shop in Portland / Oregon. His perfect english is self taught and so is his technical knowledge . As I said, nazier is a genius!
Norbert, it was nice to meet you briefly today while you were parked near the REI store in Portland. Thanks for taking a moment to share some of the details of your adventure. You are an inspiration!
I’ll be following along on your blog. Perhaps our paths will cross again some day.
Pat
