chicago menchanics?

hey Chicago crew - any recommendations for a good mechanic, other than Eurosport on Bensenville? I want to get the 15K check up but want someone solid that I can develop a relationship with. Also is it worth the $800 to have it done?

I just desnorkeled the car....WHAT A PAIN IN THE ASS. Maybe my expectaions were too high, but I didnt notice too much of a sound difference. However, I only started it back up again and havent driven it; maybe the sound is from actual driving? Ill find out later...

not at all...

I just wanted input from those in the know. They look like a legit place, so Id like to go there, but I want to make sure they are reasonable/fair, trustworthy and competent.

Is spending 800 worth it? Im leaning to yes since the person I got the car from, never did much outside of having the oil changed.

Hey Windbar,

Newbie here but I thought I would give you my two cents. If you look at my other posts, I had a very positive experience with Eurosport. The three local Porsche dealers quoted me $800-$1200 dollars for the 30 K check up.

Eurosport was fast and professional and ended up charging me a total of $375 dollars for the work they did for the 30K check up.

My friend who races Ducatis and his 944 Porsche turbo recommended me to them.

Hey Nick,

I will see you on Sunday at the Autocross. Congrats on your 2nd anniversary...
