Default Good Air Cooled Mechanic in Austin?

Anyone know a experienced and reasonable mechanic in Austin to check out a car I'm looking at?

Thanks

Default Advice on Buying a 964 "Site Unseen"

Looking at another vehicle and not sure I'd be able to get a chance to see it in person let alone test drive her.

I would get a PPI, leakdown and compression. I guess it would be a huge leap of faith and trust in the mechanic.

Any advice?

Here is a link to some pics. Is that break light an add-on? Thought only cabs had them?

So, Amdy--how was your experience with the Austin shop? Did you buy the car?
