yeah thats him .. My buddy just took his car there and was very happy with him.

Im not sure that many guys on here take their cars to the dealer for service unless still under warranty .
Id go check it out but i doubt they would even recognize my car as a Porsche.

My car engine was apparently redone by Appco . I have no documentation so i have been meaning to go in their ... never have though as it looks kind of intimidating .. looks like you are going to somebodys house.

If he did do my car though i have to say they do outstanding work. Apparently they did my engine at 90 K ( head studs i imagine ) . But i am at 250 K now and it still pulls like a mule burns no oil and runs flalessly . Not bad for a 35 year old car.

Zoran is very good. He worked on both of my turbos and I have been very happy. Reasonable as well.

I don't go to dealers except for warranty work.

Zoran is the man. I have been going to him for a few years now. He's a straight shooter and knows his stuff.

I did the worst thing a customer could ever do. I turned up with four big boxes of parts, an engine (separated from the transmission btw), a transmission, and a flat bed with the car on it. I ran out of time, talent, and patience. I asked him to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. There were many challenging fixes.

He did an exemplary job. On time and more importantly on budget. He charged what he quoted. Can't say fairer than that.
