If no one has any specific recommendations, your best bet is to start 
calling around. Find a locksmith that does automotive work and make sure 
they have a "wafer kit" for the 80's and later VWs using type "VB" locks. VB 
locks are basically all the locks after the beetles and loafs, having 7 cuts 
of 4 possible depths. Any halfway competent locksmith with the Volkwagen VB 
wafer kit should be able to handle the job without difficulty.
