Reliable p-car mechanic in Calgary

Looking for a reliable mechanic in Calgary to do some work on a 1988 911.
Preferably not the stealership.....

It might be too far for you but Eurasia in Edmonton has been good to me if a bit expensive. Solid, reliable. Likely cheaper than the Porsche dealership.

Call Ken at LITHIUM. He worked or Hima at Riegel before striking it out on his own. He's a great guy, honest, and very competent.

He has worked on my wife's LEXUS, both of my race cars, and I am even sending our work trucks to him now.

2nd vote for Lithium - has worked on my early 911 and replaced an engine in my Acura TSX
Very fair / honest / reasonable

I second Marc at Alpine. He knows Porches and is approachable for advice. He has worked on mine for 10 yrs(ie whatever I can't do myself).

I think the big choices in town are Ken at Lithium, Marc at Alpine, and Casey at Riegel.
