Default Indy around Madison, WI

Hi folks,

Just having a ball with the p-car now in the fall. Last 2.5 months with her has been an absolute blast. I am so in love with her that it makes my wife jealous Will be going on a road trip to check out some fall colors to upper WI and MI. Hope to get some good shots which I will post once I am back.

Now, my question - Anyone know of a good indy mechanic around Madison, WI. 90k mile service was not done on my 996 03 Targa by the previous owner and I want to take care of it. The guy had changed oil at 90k. Now at 92.5k miles, runs great but I want to stick to the manual and do what is recommended. Let me know if you have had some good experience with any Indy in this area. Don't mind take it to Chicago if there is a good one you recommend out there.

Not sure if I should do it now before Parking it for winter (Will not drive it till the snow is off the roads. I know ) or if I should do it when I get it back out in April. Appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

There are good pcar shops in MKE. Chris Shuh's place or there was (is) place in Cedarburg called Fabson. Both places are good just don't know about Madison.

I'm in Wausau and have a pretty good guy. Works on just about anything and is a stand-up guy. 2-1/2 hours away from you though, and I'm sure there has to be somebody in Madison that could help you. Have you tried the local PCA Chapter? I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.
