I just purchased a 993 and am in search for a reputable indy shop to perform work on the car as may be required. I live in the western suburbs of Chicago. This car appears to be much more complicated than my 968, so, I will need a good shop to do those jobs that are beyond my wrenching capabilities.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the fold! I work in Lisle, live in Oswego, so we are practically neighbors.

I have used CarsPlus in Westmont recently for alignment/oil change (and a ride-height adjustment), and also previously had a PPI done at Midwest Eurosport in Bensonville (but haven't had my car up there for anything yet). I was happy with the outcome at both shops.

Best place to go with your Porsche is Fischer Motors in Barrington. They service my 993 Turbo and 987 Boxster S and my wife's Mercedes. Rick Fischer (son) and Peter Fischer (father) run a great shop, know air cooled 911's, are active PCA members, and very skilled drivers. Their phone number is 847-304-8822.

Perfect Power in Buffalo Grove is also good. Sol's number is 847-465-8837.

You are in good hands!

All good recommendations so far.

Al at www.gocpt.com does the 993 work that I don't want to do. He's in Melrose Park.

also recommend Euroquipe in St. Charles. 630-377-3774. Tim or Brad. Long time satisfaction. Feel free to drop my name.

Thanks to all for your fast responses. I'll visit each of the shops and then decide who to use. I've owned a number of Porsches in the past, and have usually done much of the wrenching myself; however, the 993 is a far more complicated car than my other 911's (1965, '70, '71, and '89). So, I need someone to go to when I think a job is beyond my abilities and tools!

I have used Jim Becker located in Naperville in the past; however, I believe that he has sold his business and am not sure they service our cars any longer.

If you check out CarsPlus (which I highly recommend) make sure you talk with Mark Hill. There are two sides to his business - the minivan oil change/tires/rotate side and the Porsche side.
