I've had pretty good luck with Zolley's in Clarendon. He's been doing vw's since 1960 or so. Zolly died in 97 but Ivan his chief mechanic has been running it with Zolly's sister since then. He even fixed the "slow down on exit ramps and all the bells and buzzers go off" problem. Sometimes they take 2 days and they aren't perfect but they are reasonably priced and will "refix" something without question.

Due to the long warrantees, most people take their cars to the dealers...the independents are getting desparate and provide better service now.
