Ah the joys of living in a small town with very limited resources and full of gossipy people having time on their hands. One reason I moved to Reno before it got discovered.
I can take the Golf back to the dealer and pay + $2,500 for competent yearly maintenance. Or I can use a local repair house for half that and worry they may be competent on a odd vehicle with weird requirements, or I can crawl around doing my own for the cost of parts. Hint: crawling around now leads to 2 days of forced recovery. Feel your pain about reliable reccomendations.
There are two fixes: move or become very rich.
