928 Owners are ".....a secret sect of quietly assured Porsche pragmatists who in near anonymity appreciate the prodigious, easy going prowess of the 928."

Roger,

Musante Motor Sports, Dave Lloyd used to work there before he retired. I believe they know 928s there. I have never gone there, based on Dave Lloyd's recommendations.
They are in South Windsor , Ct right outside Hartford.

Musante Motorsports is a good option, I was there for a PCA meeting last week, really nice place! Also Automobile Associates of Canton CT.

EDIT: I met a technician at Hoffman Porsche (East Hartford CT) who specializes in the classic cars, IIRC he has some 928 experience... maybe call them and ask?

You know, those look like good shops. But honestly, before I took my 928 to a shop that is a Porsche shop I would like to see at least 1 928 picture somewhere on the website.
Otherwise, I would be scared that they either have no experience or at least probably don't care about that particular model and wouldn't give it a dedicated repair...

In the CT area, you should check with David Chamberland - worf928 on Rennlist. He is in MA, but not far away, and does a LOT of 928 maintenance work in the New England area. Has several 928's of his own and a nearly new LARGE working garage for maintenance. Contact him via PM or e-mail here on Rennlist.
I visited Musante when David Lloyd worked there, but got the impression that David L. was the only person involved with 928's, and he left about 3+ years ago.

I've been away from New England for 15 years but Michael Bochow works in a foreign "exotic" car shop in Avon which is just west of Hartford. I've known him since he was a kid and I'm sure you would find him to be very reliable and knowledgeable.
