Yes, this is what I was hoping we could all do. But what do we have to do to make this a perminate list here on the forum board? I will start making a list for the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Independent Repair shops

Folks, that is a great idea that you have tossed out there.... hopefully the good people at the 986 Forum will add these shops that you have ID'd to a link on their webpage. I am anxious to see how many folks respond with shops in their areas. I am a newbie to the Boxster world, and it was many years ago when I had my last Porsche, which was a 88 944.

Can anyone recommend a good shop in Harrisburg (Mechanicsburg) other than Sun? I have not gone there but I have not heard good things. The guy I bought my car from said they destroyed one of his wheels changing a tire.

Porsche mechanics in Maryland

Hi,

Baltimore , Md here. Recently acquired 2001 Boxster, looking for a good reasonable Porsche mechanic in the area would prefer not going to Annapolis if I can help it. Anyone know of anything closer to the western suburbs of Baltimore?

Good shop in Lewisville, TX

I have had my Boxster in at Fifth Gear Motorsports in Lewisville two times now. They do great great work and are located at:

1425 FM 407 (Justin Rd.) Suite 950 - Lewisville, TX 75067
972-317-4005

The first time I had my car in was for the top. The dealer had told me I needed a new top assembly and that mine couldn't be fixed. They quoted me about $4,500 to do it. I bought a used top assembly and took it to Fifth Gear. They called me later and told me that I didn't need a new top, that a bolt had come loose and needed to be put back on. They realigned the top and charged me $400 for taking it loose and doing the work.

The second time I had them put in a clutch, which cost right at $1100. Not bad, and certainly cheaper than the Stealership.

Hey Robster,
Just added your listing. Thanks for the input!

Nice list TimAustin! Doesn't hurt to have more.
