Default Independent mechanic recommendations in LA?

Hello all,

Just got my first 996. 2002 manual coupe. I'm looking for some recommendations for a garage that I can trust and won't break the bank. Anyone have a garage they trust? I'm in Koreatown, but willing to travel for the right person to work on the car.

Thanks!

Which one did you buy? I just bought one in LA too. I looked at all of them first so I’m curious which one you picked.

Only mechanics I’ve found out about are here in the SF Valley.

I actually went to Montana to get mine. Was looking for one in Blue and this one came up in my wide craigslist search. Just felt right. Did you look at the Zanzibar Red 2001 coupe for sale in Torrence 6 months ago? I loved the look of that car. But happy with what have. What did you get?

go to Peter at Stuttcar porsche in pasadena. Honest guy, did my PPI in 2012 and i've been going to him ever since. Very reasonably priced. https://www.yelp.com/biz/stuttcar-service-pasadena

Try TLG in North Hollywood. A Porsche only indie that's been in business for 35 plus years.
I take my 996 and my 77 to them. Highly recommended .

NARW in Reseda is a trusted shop. I take my 99 to them.

Try Euro Spec Motoring at 5414 Pico Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90019. They're much closer to you than the others. Very knowledgeable and very fair pricing. Enjoy your Pcar!
