Na, I googled them and all I got the same question you posed from a bus guy. There weren't any replies to his post. Sounds like a good deal but most self respecting companies that expect to sell to a diverse crowd such as the classic VW community need a web presence.

Thanks for the reply though.

Yup, you need a resaie license to buy from them. Roger is the man and will answer questions honestly if you ask.

Not necessarily true. I have ordered from them for years. Granted I started ordering from them through Kenyon Machine Shop in Pacific Beach, California, I have since ordered from Roger since I moved back to Florida and he had no problem sending parts. Even with the extra shipping across country I save money on parts. All you have to do is tell Roger you are from " wherever " Machine Shop you'd like to be put on their mailing list. I guarantee you that's all it will take. Looks like they are making strides to gain a web presence.

They are retail as well as wholesale. But keep in mind that the colored flyers they send out are wholesale priced. And retail pricing is different.
