PM RandallNeighbour---a good guy, lives in Houston, probably has some recommendations.

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

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.

I just changed the door lock on my 2000 boxster "S" I guess I turned on my ignition during the process and now the light stays on. Tried the disconnectiong the battery trick and that failed to work......any ideas?

Thanks in anticipation..........

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

I am also looking for a good mechanic in Houston. I'll probably just go to the dealer if I can't get a good recommendation. I am sure I will pay more but it seems safer than going to an independent chosen from internet searches.

Fortunate to have 3 very good options ...

Did a post purchase inspection and my full service. Also reset my airbag light for free after i tripped it changing the window regulator. Great personal touch from a one man band.

Be interested in knowing how your IMS upgrade goes when you do it.

I also heard Squire was highly recommended, but was told they only work on older Porsches, air cooled and 924/944/928s.

hi folks,

just moved from nor-cal to Texas - car drove like a charm! today it wouldn't start therefore i urgently need a good mechanic .. i read through the whole thread and saw several listings of companies here, but most of them didn't seem to reflect own experiences and can be found online - porsche986spyder has mentioned that he wanted to create a local list here of folks you couldn't easily find ...

any ideas? thanks

I'm in Buffalo NY. It's bit of a hike for me, but I took mine to:

78 Bennington Dr Rochester, NY 14616
(585) 621-8200

I got their info from LN engineering and they did great work with my card. I did IMS, RMS, AOS, clutc, oil change, coolant flush, and cleaned out the radiators.
