Thumbs up Have a good mechanic? Recommend 'em!

I'm still working on a recommended Mechanics spreadsheet; At this moment, I have shops from CA, CT, IL, IN, MI, NJ and OH.

If you have a good mechanic, then please let me know so that I can add them to the sheet. The sheet itself will be available online shortly.

Please either post addresses/p#s here, or send them to me at micahjones@aol.com

Thanks!

Micah

For body work I have no higher recomendation than

Mike's Auto Body
116 Herrick St
Merrimack, NH 03054
(603) 424-2274

For Porsche recomendation

I haven't used him personally but he comes highly recomended and I know he does PCA tech stuff.

Mark Nadler
Exotech in Plaistow
(603) 382-3599

In the Oklahoma region I can recomend no higher than
Tom Charlesworth
918/664-8714

And his random KLA Budies there.

<a href="http://www.klaindustries.net/" target="_blank">http://www.klaindustries.net/</a>

All a helluva bunch of guys. They care less about selling product than working on Porsches.

Oh yeah. And less I forget. 944 ecology. It just don't get better than that for parts. Just like Steamed clams and Old Millewakee. It just don't get no better than this.
