Default Mechanic Recommendation Needed for Chicago

Hi,

My neighbor's Boxster S just suffered an electrical breakdown. He doesn't know where to take it other than the dealer.

Can some recommend a shop in the Chicago western suburbs who is familiar with Boxsters?

I don't know Chicago but go to LNengineering.com to see their list of approved mechanics in the area. Ignition switchs are known to go bad & shut down electrical power, fairly cheap & search this forum for tips on replacing.

Hi. Thanks for the response. I did go to LN's site and could not find where they had any recommended places in Illinois other than the dealerships.

Midwest Eurosport or their sister store, Eurosport Racing. They are in Bensenville and Joliet, respectively.

thanks guys. I have been to Fischer's place up in Barrington, but not to Eurosport. I'll give both places a call on Monday.
