Default Forward Automotive Victoria BC

Anyone have any experience with Gary at Forward Automotive in Victoria BC. I'm thinking of having him do some work on the 1996 Arena Red 993 that I have decided to purchase.

Let me know out there. I'm a few weeks away from my new baby and I'm psyched!!!

thanks for you time in advance!!!

Ok I'll give you my opinion...
I have Gary do all the work on my cars. The list is 1996 C4S (sold), 2004 GT3 (sold), 2010 Boxster (wife's), 2006 Audi A6 and 2003 A4. He also helps me with my vintage formula Ford when things get beyond my limit mechanical skills. That should speak to what I think of his and his mechanics abilities.
If you're expecting a "boutique " experience go somewhere else. The shop is a classic garage mess. Work orders are hand written (scrawled) he is not always easy to reach. He did the ppi's for me on the 911s and the report was mostly verbal ( and correct). Paper just isn't his thing.

Well if you were a guy you'd have written "sweet, thank you" and a girl would pass on a "sweet thank you"!! Lol
