Good mechanic in Bay Area, CA?

Specifically, I'm looking for a good mechanic for my 986 in the peninsula, around Mountain View and Sunnyvale.

Thanks so much!

Hi, try Tony from Heyer Performance in Mountainview.

Just moved to Dallas, and I already miss him dearly ...

Mechanic in Dallas North - Richardson - Plano Area?

hi folks,

just moved from nor-cal to Texas - car drove like a charm! today it wouldn't start therefore i urgently need a good mechanic .. i read through the whole thread and saw several listings of companies here, but most of them didn't seem to reflect own experiences and can be found online - porsche986spyder has mentioned that he wanted to create a local list here of folks you couldn't easily find ...

any ideas? thanks

I'm in Buffalo NY. It's bit of a hike for me, but I took mine to:

78 Bennington Dr Rochester, NY 14616
(585) 621-8200

I got their info from LN engineering and they did great work with my card. I did IMS, RMS, AOS, clutc, oil change, coolant flush, and cleaned out the radiators.

Have you tried looking at LN Engineering's list of approved shops for IMS installs? While that's not a foolproof method, you can somewhat safely assure yourself that if they're good enough for LN Engineering to point you in their direction, they're a decent shop that knows what they're doing if they're going to be messing around with that shaft and its bearing.

As for your starting issue, if you haven't done so already, start up a thread in the general discussion and let us know what's going on so maybe we can help you figure it out. It might be something very simple and easily fixed so you can save yourself the time, energy, and of course money, involved in trying to find someone to bring it to.
