Default Looking for 928 guru in the Northeast(CT or MA)

Purchased my 89 928 in July. Have driven 5K miles this summer with little or no issues. It's time for some preventive maintenance. I would like to consult with an expert to prioritize some of the work. I know I am not capable of some of the procedures but would like to learn from a local Guru. I live in Norwich CT and am willing to travel if needed.

A little further than you planned, but I would make that trip to Philly to see Mrmerlin. T

Mrmerlin thanks for the response. Not sure if Philly is in my range but I'll PM you to discuss further.

Check out Musante Motorsports in South Windsor. Very trustworthy, has experience with 928s. (I believe he owns one.)

I can vouch for Musante also. I lived in Branford until 2012 and had my car there on several occasions. David Lloyd used to do the 928 work there, but I don't think that's the case any longer. In either case, they are an excellent Porsche shop, run by PCA members and racers.

Auto Associates of Canton is also top-notch. Had my car there many times over 15 years for mechanical, body, track-prep. Also run by PCA racers. Mike is their 928 guy - his last name eludes me - but he's a factory trained 928 expert.

Bilal928S4.....Roger recommended you...I want to replace all the fuel lines and 3 of the 4 transmission lines at radiator. I would like a full suspension inspection. Dash has a dash cover that I would like to replace. Final thing is heater control vacuum issue(it doesn't close when heat is activated). That's my laundry list for the winter.

Mike Bacow retired a few years ago. I'm not sure I can continue to recommend AA in Canton. I'm in the process of rebuilding a leaking tensioner that 'just had' a belt job there.
