Default Looking for a mechanic. Philadelphia area

Hi guys,

I am a newer 944 owner and I need some service done. I was wondering who you guys have work on your cars. I live in Quakertown, PA which is about an hour north of Philadelphia. I am near the Lehigh Valley area as well as most of Bucks County.

Thanks,
Alex

What are you two trying to get done? I live between both of you. If you are after jobs you aren't comfortable with and want some help, I've got no problem helping out.

If you're looking for someone to dump your car at because you don't have time.....well, yeah...not so much. And unfortunately, I don't know of anyone other than Swamps in Ferndale (I've never used them, but a friend who had a 944 several years ago did).

Holy old thread. This was one of the first threads I started I think...

John Butz is a good guy. Hed to a nice job looking it over, but Kutztown is far for you. I don't know any good Bucks County shops. All you want is a once over?

Phils Automotive is excellent.

I think RS Barn is close to you.

Daryl, I think I have your flywheel lock haha. Sort of a long story...

I'm in Wilkes-Barre PA, if anyone ever needs anything 944 or WRX/STi or Corvette or Jeep or Miata related.

Wow. I've dealt with a plethora of vehicles.

Well, whoever has it, I'd appreciate it back pronto. I loaned it out over a year ago, maybe more.

Nothing says "thanks for letting me borrow a tool" like not returning PMs and finding out through someone else where your tools ended up.
