Default Introduction- Newbie

Hello- New guy here just introducing myself. Recently picked up an '02 911. This site has already been of great use to me. While I was lurking, I noticed a few guys are in Indianapolis. Any recommendations on an Indy mechanic? I have one now but would be open to locating another. Thank you!

So whats is the deal with this IMS bearing thing? Should I be worried? settle down, I'm just kidding...

Welcome - great looking 996. Is that the one Fabie Abreu was selling? If so - it's a nice ride.

I'm in Indianapolis and am 99% DIY with the 996 so it's yet to visit a repair shop that isn't based in my garage. I've taken several Audis and my Benz Luxo Barge to Euro Motorworks. Not the cheapest, but very honest - a family member just had his front CV boots replaced on an 04 C4S from Euro Motorworks - the work was very well done.
