Up until that last sentence I was in full agreement with Bubba Duane.  After
that I think I'd have to go with:
             Wagonwork Corp
             3406 Jefferson Davis Hwy
             Alexandria, VA 22305-3101
             Phone: (703) 684-2985 
They can be found with

(don't put any spaces when you reassemble that link)

They have had a reputation for the best work for quite a while and driving by
you'll notice quite a number of Germany's finest cars.  You pay more there
because you get more and they're certainly not usually in a hurry.
