Does anyone think this post should be re-done?

I think it would be more useful if it only listed shops that people HERE have ACTUALLY USED. Use the phone book for a list of shops... use this forum for actual reviews... meaningful data!

Am I the only one that thinks as such?

Mind Over Motorsports in San Diego. This is a terrific shop that has serviced my car before i purchased it from a pca member. I'm usually very specific when it comes to my car and couldn't be happier

Marque Motors in Portland, Oregon (Johns Landing). P cars only. Kurt there is terrific and all his mechanics are top flight too. They cared for my 911's and are quick, fairly priced, and very meticulous--without any BS. They do a lot of race prep and restorations as well as road car maintenance. Can't speak too highly of them.

"Anyone know a good independent mechanic in the Seattle/Everett area? (I live near Lynnwood, halfway between Seattle & Everett)

I just bought a 2000 Boxster S (my first Porsche) with 16,000 miles on it. Although it drives and sounds great and I have no indication of any problems, I did have built into the contract a provision for a full refund if there are any major mechanical defects. I think I'd probably be smart to get it checked out by a good Porsche-trained mechanic. I gather a dealer may not be my best bet. Thanks for any help you can give me.

old Blevins,

I always had fantastic service from Ken at European Car Authority in Redmond (425.881.2185). I've recently moved to Baltimore and will sorely miss his expertise. Enjoy your S.

For anyone in the Baltimore/DC area, I'm looking for a new mechanic and would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

I saw where SC posted about Eurowerks Motorsports in Matthews, NC. Is there another body shop in the Charlotte area? Someone cut the rear window of the Boxster, and I don't feel like putting $3000 into a new top/window, which is all that a dealership will do.

Leith Porsche in Raleigh was great and gave me the name of a local shop who would do just the window, and the manager there, Chris, said that it was foolish to replace a good top just to get the window replaced. I called Hendrick Porsche in Charlotte, and the manager there just blew me off for doing "Non-Porsche dealership repairs". Ppffttttt on Hendricks!
