Sounds typically VW (Dealership) to me.  There are other people in your
area that can do the job.  The trouble is finding out who will do a good
job for not so much money.  That's where this list comes in.  Put out he
word and you will get a responce I'm sure.

Even in Alaska I'm sure there is someone who can do a great job.
