I to have used both K&K and Royal VW. Richard is a good tech who is fair
with prices.
Royal VW is as good as it gets with dealers, but if you need any dealer only
parts John D
in Royal's parts department is excellent (he also has a "personal" supply of
used parts.
But Ron and Jerry have my vote for the best parts deals, always check with
them first.
Also try: starbuck@budsbugs a dismantler who, although in California, jumped
through hoops to satisfy me when a upper grill they shipped me arrived
broken. Good folks there.
Ask for Sue (she is starbuck).

I'm in orlando. If I can help, just ask.
