DON'T GO TO A QUICKIE PLACE! The stories are as bad as you've heard... On the other hand, the dealers suck, too, so you're kind've btw. a rock and a hard place... I would suggest finding a TRUSTED independent who specializes in water cooled VWs. The price will usu. be more reasonable than the dealer, and you'll probably have a far more competent guy working on your car. Good luck! - - JC
