Need mechanic in CT shoreline area
I'm in need of a head gasket replacement, and possibly a new or re-built turbo, looks like the seals are going, getting some blue smoke at start-up after things warm up a few seconds. And white smoke a bit after that, where I think its coolant in the exhaust, and coolant level drops over time, but no visible leaks, but can certainly smell it in the engine bay.
Anyway, looking to pay someone to do the job(s). I'm in the CT shoreline area, so good quality, reasonably priced preference. Head gasket is the priority right now. Thanks.
Also, opinions around labor time for the head gasket job? I don't need timing belt, water pump, or anything else at all, just the gasket. Assume head not warped and no additional surprises, straight head gasket replace. Thanks!

"CT shoreline area" is a very big area, I use Rennwerks in Elmsford, NY (ask for Cheech and tell him James the Chimney sweep sent you) they are near the Tappenzee bridge, he is the best I have found in this area, and I am in Stamford, CT.
good luck

Shoreline = the length of the state. Perhaps you can narrow it down or just wait for everyone in CT to respond.
Speed Sport Tuning in Danbury is really good. They service everything from cup cars to 924s. The owners competed in the Rolex 24 this past year and he loves the 951. Really nice guy so I recommend them highly.

In in Westbrook, CT. I can drive the car now, so not too limited. I'm willing to rent a car trailer and tow it with my SUV if needed. I also have AAA with 100 mile towing, but I've been using it quite a lot lately. Probably New Haven area would be my best bet.
