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.

Fitted my passenger airbag disable kit and supplied car set. Did an excellent job diagnosing 2 major faults on the car (and didn't charge me for it). Rediculously high repair costs but expected as it's a main dealer. Trusted by Porsche owners with factory/CPO warranty.

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 there,

Does anyone know a good mechanic in Marin County? Preferably in the Novato, San Rafael, Petaluma, Santa Rosa area? East Bay could work too as long as it is in the Northern part (Berkeley, Richmond, Oakland, etc).

Thanks,
Lars

I am the proud new owner of a 2003 low mileage Boxster (about 31k), I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for Mechanics near Highland, Maryland zip code 20777. The DC/Metro area, Columbia, Clarksville, Rockville, and Baltimore are all relatively close, I would appreciate any suggestions for good shops. Thanks!

ericinca · 04-09-2011, 09:00 AM

Specifically, I'm looking for a good mechanic for my 986 in the peninsula, around Mountain View and Sunnyvale.

Thanks so much!

Shotokan · 05-18-2011, 05:29 PM

Anyone know of a Porsche Specialist in the Memphis area other than the dealership?

johnstonad · 05-31-2011, 08:30 PM

Hi Shotokan. My friend lives there. Would you like him?

Gubu986 · 06-03-2011, 10:09 AM

More specifically, a reliable and reasonable mechanic that can repair my power window. Motor runs but doesn't operate window. Thanks!

I live in Orlando, Zots Garage located in Winter Park is awesome .Went there today for a ignition problem and was in and out in less than 45 minutes and they didn't try to work me over .

Overdrive · 06-13-2011, 05:28 AM

For those in the Central/Northern CT and Springfield, MA areas, found NEO Autos in South Windsor, CT, very good group of guys who won't BS you.

Pacileo01S · 08-03-2011, 08:42 PM

Anyone in North East Ohio area (Cleveland area) I reccomend HS Tuning in Lakewood Ohio. The most resonable prices around, and these guys are honest mechanics. They specialize in all Porsche, Audi and VW vehicles.

For example: It cost me $90 for my most recent oil change (Castrol Syntec 5w 40)and a brand new oil filter. Also visually inspected around the rms, my brake wear, and old oil for any metallic flakes. Checked coolant resevoir--mines still in good shape luckily and checked my brake/clutch fluid-still good.

Next service we will be taking on the plugs, flushing the brake fluid and coolant. These guys also are big in the tuning world for audis and vws; they are looking to develop an exhaust for the 986 that is drone free (but at a more resonable cost than some competitors)

mallai · 09-09-2011, 04:27 PM

Anybody in Westchester County, NY?..Northeast CT?

Porsche Enthusiast · 09-13-2011, 09:47 AM

I need someone to consult (payed) on my 97 boxster. I can do the work, I just need someone to make sure I am not doing unescesary work. Or if the price is right I may just have the work done. I am having variable cam issues.

colboxster · 10-08-2011, 10:15 PM

Anyone no of a local mechanic in the boulder area. I just purchased a 2004 boxster
