They don't have everything, but they have a lot. They are in business precisely because of the problems you have encountered with dealers. I once priced a heater valve for a Rabbit at our FULVWD, $38 and change. Drove 30 blocks up the street to a foreign parts house and bought the SAME IDENTICAL part, VW/Audi logo and all, $6.95. I've been know to sell a car rather than buy a dealer-only part. Larry |
