Guy Ober at SGS Motorsports in San Luis Obispo. Very knowledgable, very honest.

Of course, Greg Brown in Anaheim is the eminence grise of the 928 world.

Thanks for the recommendation but i am not a fan of Guy. He has given me some scary situations with other Porshce's of mine in the past? I do think he is better than some but not what I'm looking for.

I have heard of George Brown and all good things but was hoping for some place closer!!

Thanks,
Bryan

Bryan:

What is wrong with your vehicle?

And what year is it?

If you need advise or need someone to look at it, I drive up to Mariposa a couple of times a month....

I'm in the Santa Cruz area, currently work in Boulder Creek at an Aston Martin shop. I've been wrenching on 928's for 15 years and would be able to help. Year of the car? Problem? Location?

Greg, I am located in Fresno. Let me know when you plan to come up. Would be great for you to stop by. I will PM you my information.

I left a message at the number above last week but didn't hear back.

Thanks,

Bryan:

I'm coming up to your area, this Friday, Should pass through your area in the late afternoon. Maybe we can figure out a way to hook up.

I asked Mary if she had heard from you or if she had any unanswered messages....she did not know of any....but that actually means very little.

The best way to get ahold of me is to send me a message on my private email:

GregBBRD@aol.com

You can also send me a text on my cell 714 305 0828.

Please do not tell anyone about these secret ways to get ahold of me.....
