Default What shop to use in Austin, TX

I need to take the car in to have the idle sorted out. Tired of failed attempts to do it myself, and I've run out of time to keep trying. It's so hot now I'm going to give up and take it in as I cannot run the A/C without the car dying when I let off the clutch to go to idle. The closest shop to me where I've seen another Porsche is 'Kurt's Autowerks'. Any recommendations?

There is a place off of 183N. I will get the name of it later. Cant speak to the quality of their work but they ALWAYS had a damn fine selection of 911s/944s in the front.

Think that might be Northwest Imports on Pond Springs Rd. There's also European Import Car Repair on the corner of Burnet and Braker near IBM, and TWPS on North Lamar that I've heard good things about. Other than an alignment (which was well done) at European Import a couple of years ago, I have no direct experience with any of these however.

Burnet and Braker is where I am thinking of. (183 to Burnet, sorry has been about 2 years since I was in Austin).

They seemed like pretty cool guys when I stopped and talked to them.
