Has anybody used Auto Sport Engineering in Stow? They're pretty close to me and I'm looking to develop a long-lasting relationship where I give somebody a lot of money every once in a while in return for keeping my 1995 993 in top shape.

I heard of A company in Stow that was supposed to be good, probably was them. I would not use any Boston Dealers, they are terrible. I heard Rennsport in Framingham is good, but no first hand experiance, they did my PPI.

I posted a similar thread a few months back, there were some good sugestions there. Take a look, search for my handle.

Contact Rob Fitzgerald @ 781-784-1398. He is the former head technician at Chambers and recently left after many years to start Robert's Porsche - Mercedes Service. He just opened up his own shop in Sharon, MA.

Bob knows the air cooled 911's better than anyone I have ever met. And he is a great guy to deal with!

rene (proprietor & head wrench) at RENSPORT in framingham has been very helpful and am sure he's one of the best in the area.

I did go back and search for Massachusetts mechanics, but didn't see any mention of Auto Sport Engineering specifically. I interested in them because they're 10 minutes from my house, opposed to an hour or more for EPE, Rennsport, or any of the dealers.

Their website doesn't have a lot of information, <a href="http://www.autosportengineering.com" target="_blank">http://www.autosportengineering.com</a> but I think I heard somewhere that they've been in the business for 30 years.

Before I started using EPE I had my car towed to Lenny's place in Stow. I had been looking for somewhere to have my car serviced (besides the dealer in Burlington (2+hrs away) and autosport had been highly recommended by a lot of the local scca autocrossers (plus I worked 10 minutes away.) Anyway, they ended up keeping the car for 8 days and told me the reason was because of their bosch hammer (i don't remember the specifics but I believe they had to get one but weren't exactly upfront about not having one.) My problem was a bad idle control something (don't have the receipt infront of me.) which including labor ended up costing a little over $100 (i was pissed at the time because they had the car for so long but happy when I got the bill.) When picking up the car they went through explaining everything to me and apologizing for the delay. Their facilities were extremely nice, I wasn't expecting what I saw after pulling down the driveway in the middle of Stow. There were a LOT of porsches there including a few being prepped for the 24hrs of daytona. I believe they were also a RUF dealer at the time. I ended up meeting Jerry from EPE up at NHIS and used them uptill last year when I moved to the berkshires. Last summer I used the local dealer out here for 90k service and now (for various reasons which I won't post on a public forum) have learned to service the car myself. If I were still living in south central mass and hadn't had run into the EPE guys my car would probably be getting its maintenance done in Stow.
