Preferrably near San Jose. Hate to limp a mishappen 911 all the way to San Francisco.
Prefer independent dealers since Porsche dealers will charge bucko bucks I'm assuming...

thanks for these leads gents. I'm going to need a good mechanic since i know nothing about them. i can do moderate weekend mechanic repair but need help after that. this will help a bunch.
I was getting quotes for engine rebuilds if the worst case scenario happens soon after buying mine. $10-12 for the 3.2L, $12-15 for the 3.6L. OUCH! it was one of the campbell guys but cant remember who that was.

I think it's good to know what you're getting into, especially with these cars. I intend to keep it a long time and eventually, it will need a rebuild or more.

I visited several independent shops and even one dealership before deciding on Heyer Performance. Tony honestly treated my car and my pocketbook as if they were his own. His passion and knowledge of all things Porsche is amazing. He was also very patient with my very meticulous punch list.
