Yes, I went to RMG them after going to CT Automotive so many times my head hurt. They sorted out a problem in 10 minutes that CT could not solve after a bunch of 1-2 days of leaving my car with them.

Give the owner, Bob Grigsby a call at 408-738-2060. He is very nice. Their prices are quite reasonable and flexible. Also their hours are great. 7am to 5pm I think. (CT Claims 8 to 5, but I could never get a hold of them before 9 ish or after 4)

Some great info on the tech sessions if you are interested.

Also a bit farther north in Mountain View is Heyer Performance. I like that shop and the owner. They do good work, but last time charged me $270 for an oil change. Was a bit shocked by that since the dealer only want $100 on special so I got a good lesson to always ask for prices before assuming anything.

I went to IMA Motorsports in norther VA (near Don Loring Metro) to get lot of work done after getting some recommendation from local PCA group. Chris at IMA has lot of experience and training straight from Porsche and was great to deal with. He described what the problem was in detail with history and showed me what was going on when the car was on the lift. They also handled warranty issues and my car is now running smooth. You can also check out lot of race P-cars being worked in that garage.
You can ask for Chris at 703-849-9590.

In New York, I have been using Mark Tashijan's shop, and they seem pretty reasonable and very knowledgeable:

When I lived in Palo Alto, I always thought Tony Heyer was great:
