			I highly recommend E.P.E in Natick, Massachusetts. Jerry Pellegrino and his staff  do excellent work. Also, Chris Luciano of Peerless Motors and Concord, Massachusetts is very well respected too.

				Find your local mechanic/porsche specialist
			 
 
			I'm in the North Sacramento, CA area (Lincoln).  Does anybody have a recommendation for a wheel alignment shop that understands Boxsters (986)?
 I want to use the car for Autocross, DE's and as a daily driver, so, the shop hopefully knows something about racing too.
 
 The car is a stock 1997.  But, I will be using Toyo R888 tires. 225 45 17 on 7.0" rims on the front and 255 40 17 on 8.5" rims on the back. (BSX class)
 
 Thanks,
 Mark

				Open on Weekends?
			 
 
			Hi guys, do you know of any Porsche mechanics who work on weekends? I noticed all service centers are closed on weekends and I'm not available to get maintenance done on weekdays.
 I live in the East Bay area of California.
 
 Thanks!

				I know of a mech. in Santa Cruz
			 
 
			contact Tim at Fastlane Porsche in Santa Cruz. He takes care of my 1999 Boxster and my son's 1988 Carrera. He's great, and his price is right (meaning exceedingly better than a Porsche dealer). 
I cut and pasted this from my FB, this is a friend of a friend in the bay area, I actually live in Reno.  I don't know if he works weekends but give him a call and see if he can or knows of someone.  These people have several Porsches and I'm sure they have done the foot work.  Hope this helps!

I have over 15 years of professional european repair experience, including Porsche,Audi, Mercedes, BMW, VW, Rover, Jag, and others. I also have a background in engineering(dropped out of UT as junior in ME). I have extensive experience from racing sports cars, drag racing, and even Indycar. Chassis setup is what I love to work on, but a difficult diag(electrical or drivability,etc.) is a lso fun.  If anyone in here needs my services, don't hesitate to call, email, show up, whatever.  Our rates are very reasonable and we have a very good warranty and a great reputation.

				Need an alignment in the Seattle area
			 
 
			Or who knows which post # has the list of recommended shops, state by state.  I've been through every post once already and know there are two listed in my area, but I guess I'm just too lazy to read through all the posts again.  
 Oh, and could there be another reason besides alignment that would cause my car to pull to the right?  Pressure is okay, maybe suspension issues?  Car is an '03 with 81k miles.
 
 Thanks

I too am in Houston or Spring I should say and I saw your post. Any luck finding a good mechanic...affordable? I own a 2000 boxster S. I'm also looking for contacts to occasionally bounce ideas or questions about the boxster. Thanks.

 You can take it to civil court but with the expense & time involved the A.G.'s office is a better idea. Even if you do the other I'd go there. That way the screw up would be hurt even worse because in some states there are automatic fines, they have a file with the state & they are reported to the BBB. That's not too good for business and you help others who may have been screwed as well when they have to turn their records over to the state.

Hey, look...
 
It's M.C. Spammer!!
 
Can someone get rid of this person, and prevent them from ever gracing our website ever again?
 
Every weekend this guy shows up with a new alias. 
Can't this end?
 
Can someone at least tell this idiot that boats have nothing to do with our forum? 
Of course, this jerk probably doesn't actually live in the USA, nor speak english.
 
BC.

				Shop in Austin
			 
 
			Don't believe in self-promotion in the forums.... 
But I will recommend my partner here in Austin.
 
Danny Blaylock is a mechanic from the Texas School of the Deaf. 
He owns/runs a shop called Silent Automotive.
 
He's rebuilt several M96 engines from the crank up, 
including my everyday driver. 
Uses OEM parts, and LN Engineering upgrades.
 
He'll also work on non-water cooled Porsches as well
 
Keeping him in business means I have someone to help 
me with my toys :-)
 
I also sub-con my Porsche work to him.
 
he works via email or texting
dan2yblalock@hotmail.com 
or you can contact me mike@lonestarrpm.com 
Mike
