Local Parts Vendors/VW Shops

[Dustin]

......................................................................................................................................................

We will always remember George's Hot VW's as the Goodvolks favorite supplier. Not just a supplier of parts,
but of information, help, and smiles. Here is a link to George's obituary from the Battle Creek Enquirer:

So with Dave's post about getting his case bored I thought it would be a good idea to keep a list of local shops who sell parts and those who restore/do machine work/service

Most of our cars are of this variety, unless it's a daily driver, it's much cheaper to insure like this than through your local agent. I have never had such great service from an insurance company.
