Default Independent in NJ?

Can anyone recommend an independent Porsche mechanic in the Princeton, NJ area?

I know of a great shop in Nyack, NY...Speedwerks of NY (917) 676-3706...right next to the Tappan Zee Bridge; but it's a hike from Princeton.

Sorry!

Powertech - Rockaway (60 mins - north)
Shade Tree - Morristown (45-60 mins)
Autohaus - Chatham (45-60 mins)
Protosport - Pompton Plains (75 mins)

I'm pretty sure there's an indy shop closer to you, but I can't remember the name.

My PPI was done by Rob Provost at Provost Mortorsports, FWIW, I think Rob drives a 993 himself.

I second Robbie Provost. Excellent mechanic, immaculately clean shop, very very reasonable rates, a racing driver himself, active in the Schattenbaum Region of PCA (I believe his is Technical Advisor), and an overall nice guy.
