Thats because there is nobody local here in FL that we would trust with 911 machine work.

I've actually grown uncomfortable with this thread. At least one of the shops that are listed has been reported to me as being "crooks" by a very legit source.

I will only recommend the shops that are on my own list on my website.

FYI, Otto's does have a good reputation (John Williamson), and does good work, if you can work with them...

Wayne,

You being nearby in L.A., have you heard mention of any good shops in San Diego?

[Wayne 962]

I have heard a few good things about Black Forest, but I have never dealt with them personally...

FWIW, I give Black Forest a big thumbs up.

They did a lot of work for me and did a great job. I am sure there are many more data points (happy folks) that will hopefully chime in here.

BR,

Kurt

Autocraft Motorsports in Toledo, OH did a great job on my head rebuild. They have all the latest equipment and most of what they do is air cooled engines I.E. Porsche and VW.

One more note. If you do find a shop that seems okay, read my book, and ask them a few esoteric questions about the stuff I cover in there. If they don't know what you're talking about - go elsewhere. ("Duh, what's an oil pump bypass?")...

I can understand why considering its now loosely tied back to your reputation. Thanks for listing the shops though...I'd feel much better sending stuff off to one of the shops you've listed.

I have to put a plug in for Chris at Autobahn Extremist in Rocky River, OH (just outside of Cleveland, West side). They do great work and he stands behind his work.
