Try Mark 1 VW in Walkersville if it's not too far for you. His # is 301.898.9444. I've been using him for 20 years.

I drove up to car54 in Woodbridge from Scottsville, VA (~2 hour drive). That was almost 3 years and 35k miles ago. He did all the work in about 5 hours and even let me ask questions along the way without any extra charge. This included the timing belt, tensioner, coolant pump, serpentine belt, and gearbox oil.

He also did mine about 75k ago and I'm getting ready for another belt change in 5k. I think I will go with the Diesel Geek Deluxe kit this time.
