put this rumour to rest, they are not going out of business but rather expanding rather quickly!!! I picked up my Engine up yesterday.
Excellent Service and Communication!!!

When I dropped my engine off for rebuild 3 weeks ago, Martin had 1 or 2 other being rebuilt and I was next in line. When I was there yesterday he had 13 engines in a row waiting to be rebuilt... These guys are gonna be big

Glad everything worked out. As for the 13 engines, I suspect some of those are people not wanting to wait over a year at another place to get their's rebuilt.

Well, that didn't take long. Good job Porsche.

Only a real jackwagon would open an indy car repair shop and call it "Porsche-land".

What's with all the attacks? Seems like you have some beef with these guys and you are airing it out here. Are you a competitor or something?

Full Rebuild, with good used Cylinder 6 Half Case and Ported/Polished Heads. Total cost $8,500 and 2 Road Trips to Chicago from Toronto!!! Totally worth it

Looks like they have a rebuilt 3.4 for sale for $7,000.

http://www.forsche-land.com/items-for-sale.html

At that price, maybe I should buy it like you do with an ignition switch - just to have it as a spare!

Hmm, buy a nice roller for $5,000 or $6,000, put this rebuilt engine in it for $7,000, figure another $1,000 for miscellaneous parts, fluids, etc, and you've got a pretty nice little car for $15,000. Makes almost too much sense.

If they are really down the street in Schaumburg, I will have check them out.

I'm good friends with one of Raby's mechanics, and I still think they over charge for their work. They do great work, but these cars aren't forged from solid gold either. They are still just cars.

We drive 996's, we aren't snobs :-)

They're at the very southern edge of Scumburg by Lake and Elgin O'hare expressway.

Man, did they clean the engine too? Damn KK would be VERY proud.

Interesting. Who might that be? All of my employees have been here for years and they've never mentioned your username. Perhaps you have us confused with someone else?
