Yes, VW in Ontario is 'Ontario Volkswagen', and yes the DTLA is the other one. That's were I bought my eGolf - they said yes to what I wanted to pay and didn't try and upsell me. Well actually the finance guy tried.
I just go to parts.vw.com and pick other dealers to see what their online prices are. No online discount for Bozzani for the clutch arm or pivot ball.
My dealer is Ventura VW. Darn near everything I need though they have to order. So easy ordering online though.
I always wondered who's still at VW of DTLA. My uncle was the GM of the Audi portion, so I got special financing on my car, even without an 800 FICO. I did NOT get along with the service manager at all (he was a real prick)., and a high majority of the salespeople and those in service were Lebanese (my uncle is Lebanese, and the dealer and its affiliated dealers are owned by a Lebanese family called Shammas). Just some random trivia there.
Here in Texas, North Park VW is closest, but Alamo Heights VW has the friendliest parts counter (or used to, before this guy with a thick Lousiaiana Cajun accent retired), and Ancira VW is where I go for getting windows tinted. North Park does a s#!t job doing window tinting, and are expensive.
Oh, and not to be a smart ass, but if you ever need things like the clutch pivot ball or arm, IDparts carries all that stuff. That's what I've usually done. Or things like cap bolts my harmonic balancer. The dealer was going to take a few days (needed bolts for my 2003, and dieselgeek only includes bolts for the 2002 and below), so I just went to Lowe's and problem solved, for A LOT cheaper.

PK,
I know you do some towing, let us know if you find a difference with performance under load.
Cheers!

I haven't done any towing yet. I'll probably postpone that until my first full tank of driving without a trailer. I can say that the car felt like my BEW before I got Frank's cam while towing - I didn't feel all of my power potential was there. After he rebuilt the head and I got new lifters/valves/etc, it was a night and day difference.
