Default Indy in the Southbay, Long Beach, OC Area

Suspension feels and sounds like ****e. I don't have time to tackle this right now. Suggestions for an Indy in the Southbay/Long Beach/OC area would be appreciated.

I'm trying to get a hold of Art at Arredondo, but having trouble connecting.

Others that look promising:

https://www.yelp.com/biz/lomita-911-...rsche+Mechanic

https://www.yelp.com/biz/autowerkes-...rsche+Mechanic - I think this one has some unflattering history on RL

https://www.yelp.com/biz/seal-beach-...air-seal-beach - My neighbor recommended this place

my 996 is currently at Auto Werkstatt in MB. They are extremely well reviewed on Yelp, and I got a great personal recommendation. I trust the quality of the workmanship, but the rest of the experience has been frustrating. The car has been there for 2 weeks to do a clutch, LN IMS and water pump. They are difficult to get timelines from and get a hold of. We will see if the car is finished tomorrow like they told me, and what the pricing ends up being.

Slow day today. Thanks for the reference, they look great. Let us know what they charge for the IMS & clutch.

Arredondo was able to get me in this week with an estimated 1 day turn. Quoted $1300 in labor for 1 day of suspension work - sometimes I question my choices.

I can highly recommend two, Dutch Treat .... Robbie is the man and very fair plus very experienced. Right off the 405 at Inglewood Blvd. Been a round a long time and PCA member. Then there is 911 Service in Lomita, Deiter and Wolfie are excellent Porsche mechanics and did my PPI way back. Both have been around a long time. Very trust worthy. I am lucky, it is a matter of geography in the South Bay.

Ditto on Dutch Treat although I believe he has moved to a new location.

Op Autowerks is a good shop also.

If you want/need the best Callas Rennsport in Torrance is the best.

Thanks everyone. I like Tony a lot, he did my PPI and all the my preventative maintenance. But the guy has a 3 week lead time (and is pricey!)
