add another parts source to the list

[Greg Smith]

And if this guy is as good as he says, you might take
a few others off the your list.

His name is Don and he owns DVW Imports in
Johnstown(?) PA. E-mail is DVWImports AT aol.com. Has
a website but it's down while being revamped.
Toll-free number is 1-800-248-4802. Takes all credit
cards and Paypal. Been in the biz for more than 40
years. Specializes in VW and Audi. But if it was
imported(and even if it wasn't) he says he can get
parts for it. Says he can beat pretty much everybody's
price except the giveaways that are used to get you in
the door. Example: A Bosch fuel pump for my 86
QSW-$139.99 and that is WITH the check valve! Best
price I've ever found is $169.99(without valve).

He carries only name brand German parts. He deals with
Beck-Arnley, Sachs, Boge, KYB, Hella, Leistriz(sp?)
all the German made stuff and his range includes all
the name brand air-cooled stuff too. Says he refuses
to carry any junk. It sounds like if you know what you
want he can get it. From tune-up parts to engine
rebuild parts-he has it or can get it. Can even do
dealer-only parts as he has a relative that works at a
dealership, but says that employees don't get very
much of, if any, discount.

He can have your stuff drop-shipped from the
distributor if you want. He kept stressing to me that
he was an independant and was quite personable. Says
he used to be very active in the air-cooled VW
scene(sold parts on the show circuit, owned his own
dragster,all kinds of things)years ago up until his
wife died some time back and then he lost interest.
Sounds like he's finally got over the loss of his wife
and is ready to get back into things. He sounds as
competitive as can be and hungry to boot!

He hasn't offered me anything but the great deal on
the fuel pump mentioned above (which is available to
everyone) and I told him I would let this group and
Sycronized at yahoogroups know about him and that is the
extent of our deal. He asked that if you called to
tell him that I, Snuffy, told you about him and to
tell him what the best price is that you've gotten
elsewhere so that he can try to beat it.

HTH, and tell your regular parts guy there's a new
sheriff in town-and he's hungry!

Greg "Snuffy" Smith
