Sounds nice. Here in the UK you get 3 months of sunshine and then, if you really want to drive your Boxster for the rest of the year, you have to put the roof up!

There are only two dealerships in the entire state of Georgia and they are a stone's throw from each other on the north end of the state.

Cali Auto is just south of Atlanta and the closest shop to where the new Porsche corporate headquarters will be. They are the cleanest, most professional shop I know and have serviced my Boxster. They do pre-purchase inspections, are the absolute best at replacing convertible tops (did mine), and are actually involved in racing Boxsters as well!

Look them up if you are in or out of state - fantastic shop!!!

Any advice?

Looking for good mechanic in OTTAWA, ONTARIO CANADA (2001 Boxster S) - anyone know of one?

[scary]

I am not a professional mechanic but for sure have an aptitude and not totally consumed time wise either but my handicapped is that I am not equipped with proper tools.
Most likely the problem is cam chain and guides according to my self diagnosis which is as follows:
The engine has been making faint screeching noise initially on cranking for several months. ( procrastination not ignorance on my behalf )
Starting the engine gradually would require few cranks ( I changed the starter motor- problem persist )
Rough idling and engine cutting off on low rpm every time I would come to a stop (5 speed trans ).
Now it needs ATTENTION... why, because CEL shows up and something must be done before the SMOG check creeps on me
Got checked on scanner found out one side is miss firing or not firing at certain times.
After evaluating all these gradual conditions and deterioration I figured the culprit has to be the cam chain rattling due to the possible wearing of plastic guides and loosening the chain which causes the timing to go off.
I need a mechanic that won't sizzle my skin or require my first born. Maybe I can work with them at their convenience and make it our little project. Please advise and help.
pardon my netiquette since I just joined the forum today and this is my first post.

In Ottawa as well. Great to see other owners around. If you want to go for a cruise at anytime just shout. I will PM you my info.
Regarding a good mechanic in Ottawa the best two options are:
- Autobahn Tuning. They are in Manotick. The owner, Todd, is a great guy and 100% honest. He does what needs to get done and not what gives him the most money.
When I need something beyond our tools, knowledge or during winter we bring the car there. Again amazing guy and very knowledgeable (was in one of Jake Raby classes).
- Chris Kirby. Another top notch guy. Not as close as Todd but top notch resource.

I will PM you their phone numbers.

This is where I take my Boxster for everything. They did the 60K mile suggested maintenance when I purchased they car and have done a few small jobs in the three years i've had it. Its a small shop and they are very honest. I would not take my car anywhere else in the area.
