Default Any 928 guys near Fredonia, NY?

Looking for an independent mechanic near Fredonia. Probably the closest would be Buffalo?

I can definitely recommend NOT using that Porsche dealer in North Buffalo. When I lived there a few years back, I used them for my first shark, and it was a disaster. I eventually found a decent shop just off Southpark in the southern section of town, but I can't remeber the name of it. It was near the Sorrento cheese factory.

I've used CDI before, but in Rochester, there is no better place than Ekstens. There was a guy in Fredonia looking at my car so I thought I'd see if anyone knew someone out there. Anyway, the last I heard from him was I have to talk to my wife first and surprrise that was the last I heard from him.

If you are looking to wrench yourself, there is a very knowledgable guy over in Erie - an hour away from you - look up Shark Attack here on the board (his name is Kyle, and he's a good guy). He posts more often on Reutterwerk these days, so look there too. He is very well versed in these cars, and he may be able to help you in a pinch.

I don't understand - are you looking for a shop to work on your car? Are you selling it? What are you looking for?

Curt, the mechanic is South Buffalo that linderpat and I mentioned is:

Ask for Keith... I was introduced to them by Babs and Tom.
