the one good thing about them and the only reason why i don't go somewhere
else is they are 25 miles away (at the most) and i get the same discount as
a friend of mine who is a vw repair guy and builder. $700 worth of parts
only cost me like 450. so i can't really complain to much. just got to check
my shit, which i didn't do the last time i was in there because i was in a
hurry.

Have you tried Buggy Warehouse here in San Antonio, or Wolfsburg West in CA? Both know what they are doing and both ship. You would need to organize your needs so you can be more effective, but at least you would get what you need.

The sad thing is, as far as I know, they're the only aircooled VW parts place in the area... My big issue was always havin' to drive 120 miles round trip, comin ' home empty handed. Tried to get them to ship me a generator once in 1972 via Grayhound (about a mile from their shop)...they asshat said Hell NO! What do you think we are??? When he told him what I thought they were, he hung up on me...After that, I just paid outrageous prices at the Hot Springs dealership.
