I agree, they used to have a great parts dept in the 90s. I bought my '90 Corrado their and
still recall drooling over the Syncro Westy they had. Wish I'd bought the Westy - could have

You could also try Speedway in Victoria, a little closer to me:

Ask for Chris, we came over when Bowwow closed shop earlier this year, and is very
knowledgable and helpful. Also willing to sell non dealership parts when available.
What's the part you need? Do you have ETKA?
