Default Need recommendation for a mechanic in the Dallas, TX area.

Guy bought my 944 from there and I thought I would try to find him a shop. Thanks for any advice.

Istook's Eurosport in Fort Worth if that isn't too far from him. Don is one of the best in the country for 944's. Zim's Autotechnic in Euless, or Mayo, also in Euless. Mayo is kinda high though and mostly specialize in 911's.

+1 for Istooks and Zims, both great places for a 944

RUF. Talk to Bob the head mechanic - he knows his stuff, and is a whiz on 944's.

What does your buyer need done on the car? Just an inspection or is it some minor work or something? I'd be willing to help the guy out some for no charge.

Thanks for ther input guys. I'll Google contact info for these. I know RUF is a heck of a shop, but I think they would be very expensive, no?
