Hi all,

My name is Martin (31 yo) and I have recently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. I am from The Netherlands and consider my self a huge 'fun' car enthusiast (previous cars were a.o. a BMW Z3 M coupe and a Westfield Super 7)

Yesterday I bought a 2001 Boxster with a lot (111.000) miles. This is my first automatic transmission mission car ever, but I figured it would make sense with the SF hills. It is fun to ride and wasn't that expensive!

I would have done all the maintenance myself in my garage in The Netherlands. But SF rent prices don't allow me to have something with a garage, so I depend on the skills of a mechanic with a shop. Do you have any good and affordable suggestions in the Bay Area? I would like to have the IMS inspected asap before taking it for a real blast on the twisties.

Best,
Martin
