Zims Autotechnik did my torque converter bearings. They are conveniently located (for me) and price competitive (usually) with other parts suppliers. They stock a good many 928 parts and can get just about anything else overnight. There's almost always a 928 in for servicing when I drop by - they seem to know the cars pretty well.

T_Max... Jones is about 1-2 mi east of the S.A. airport, fairly
convenient to the I35 & off Loop 410.
What you need is somewhere in the Houston area, eh ??

I take mine to Rog100's house (Roger), but if he's full up then Zims as previously recommended. Actually Zims is VERY good and knowledgable of 928's.

[QUOTE=DonS]Thanks for mentioning Matt. He also is now maintaining James Morrison's race car. How do you know him?

When i lived in San Antonio, Jones rebuilt the weepy, seepy 2.7L in my '77 911S. They did a great job.
Then I moved to Austin and was turned on to Matt when he was an employee rather than owner of the shop. He did a good job on my 911 a couple of times and I bought my 928 out of the corner of his shop, though not from him.
He's a straight-shooter and a helpful educator. He runs a clean shop, can do it all and is not a wallet miner. I like him and I'm sorry he's not here in Zanesville. I have no reservations in recommending him.
Thanks for posting the proper name, address and phone. I wasn't close to my Austin phone book.
So James has moved away from the guys in Round Rock?

I guess so; After that he was working with MooreSpeed/MooreSports and then moved over to TPWS to have his work done. Don't know the back story, though. Sorrry.
