Default Recommendations, please. . .Chicago area

Good morning,

Would appreciate a recommendation of a high quality independent shop specializing in 997/water cooled Porsche service in the Chicago/borderline Wisconsin area. My car is now out of warranty and I would like to turn to expertise other than that provided by a dealer.

Thanks

Give Axel a call and ask who he recommends -
www.axelsautomotive.com
918 Sherwood Dr, Lake Bluff, IL 60044
P: 847.688.0500
F: 847.688.0590

Best MB resource in the Midwest. He probably is great with P-Cars also but if he's not interested I'm sure he'll refer you to the best.

I live in the shadow of the Cheddar Curtain, and Chicago Performance and Tuning will get almost all of my work. (www.gocpt.com) Al is true car guy...They have already worked on my 997.1 and they did most of the work on my previous Audi. The quality of work is top notch.
I have heard good things about Golz Motors also. Never personally used them, but they are closer than CPT.

Big second on CPT (Chicago Performance & Tuning) www.gocpt.com

I can't say enough good things about Al and his crew of mechanics. They do great work and stand behind when others won't.
