"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!

Well, I ended bringing my Boxster S to a German P-Car specialty shop called Greff Motors in Metairie on Airline Hwy near Clearview. Randy Greff has quite the good reputation of Porsche racing and performance mods and does great work in a very clean, exceptionally organized shop. While not the cheapest place, it is the same price as the dealership on Veterans, he does get work done quickly and accurately the first time. www.greffmotors.com

I have also heard that Lindsey Automotive in Kenner actually has some exceptional mechanics (German techs and owner) --- I will have to check them out next time I need to get work done. We shall see!
