Default Help oil change and NJ inspection

Help.. my normal guy is missing in action. Anyone have a suggestion for a reliable P-car garage (not porsche dealer) to do simple oil change and state inspection? I am in Summit NJ. Tks vm for the help.

Call Chris Palumbo 1-973-376-6631
New Palumbo's Inc. 238 Main St Milburn. Its an Exxon station-but they are heavy PCA club racers and P-car guys.
Very competent wrenches.
They do my inspection with cat byass no problem. You can use my name. Im a regular there.

+1 for Chris Palumbo

He did a lot of work to my 993. Suspension, corner balancing, interior work, headlights, 30k inspection, oil change etc.
Very loyal and knowledgeable

I would be apprehensive about using Mike at powertech. I had them do a state inspection for me and he charged an $80 paper fee, and then 2.5 hours labour. He couldnt explain why it took so long, especially since the car had passed california smog before it was shipped to me. Never again will I use powertech.

Went to New Palumbo's Inc. today, did the inspection and oil change. Chris was great, very friendly and reasonably priced. I changed my oil on the Audi on the same day. Highly recommendable. Tks again for the tips.

An example of how not to exit the inner loop ("bus stop") at Watkins Glen. Actually executed by the PO in '00.

A thread in another forum was discussing on-track accidents.
