I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Rainer and his crew.  He's very fair about
money, and he really cares about getting the job done right.  If something
isn't quite right, bring it back to him, tell him what's still wrong, and 
he'll fix it.  If he gets a savings on a part he passes it on.  He's 
very knowledgable about VWs.  He only works on VWs -- nothing else.  
He also has a team of devoted followers whom he trains thoroughly and 
supervises.  They are all very nice people as well as good mechanics.

I used to have a '73 Karman Ghia, and Rainer was the only person that
I trusted with the car.  One time when the gas tank started leaking,
he found a brand new gas tank forgotten in a colleague's storeroom
for half the price of the local VW parts supplier.  He graciously 
charged me the half price -- a $60 savings.  

When I was ready to sell my car, I found a buyer for $1500 and was almost
ready to settle when I decided to stop by Rainer's to see what he 
thought I could get for it.   His recommendation was that if 
I could wait, I should wait for someone to come along and
pay $3000 for it.  He said there are a few people out there 
"crazy enough" to pay that much for a Ghia.  Sure enough, a week 
later, I found a buyer for $3300.
