Taylor Chapman at Chapman Autowerks, Sterling/Herndon, Virginia. He is very good, but expensive. Kevin Lacy has been working on local 928s in the MD, VA, DC area. He does really good work, perhaps not as quickly as a shop that must turn around cars to pay the bills, but with the benefit of being careful and cleaning a lot as he goes. It helps that Kevin is a 928 fan and enjoys working on them.

David Word auto in Richmond VA. Know the owner, they do a lot of work on older Porsches including 928s.

My 928 and 951 have both had work done there.

What are you looking to get done?

thanks guys,
no pressing work to be done but he's tired of paying people to learn on his car.

Paul Overstreet in Gordonsville, just outside Charlottesville, has a good rep as well.

How can one find Kevin Lacy?

Does he own a shop or does he work from home?

His Rennlist screen name is KLVA. He hasn't posted in awhile, but you might try sending him a PM through Rennlist.

Kevin is a good guy but he's MIA and has been for over a year.
May be worth recommending someone to the OP who is actually available to help.
