Porsche Mechanics in Chicagoland area

I have recently purchased a ’82 911 SC. I need to have some work done on it and was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendation of Porsche mechanics in the Chicagoland area where I could take my car. I live in Crystal Lake.

Thanks in advance for your help.

All right, another NW Suburban! I live in Algonquin. There's a couple of more out here by us, but it's pretty scarce...

Anyway, I haven't needed a mechanic just yet, but someone in PCA recommended Fischer Motorsports to me. They are located in Barrington on hwy 14 which is relatively close to our area. They seem to have a good reputation from what I've seen so far, but again, I haven't used them.

Also, if you haven't joined yet, you might check out the Chicago Porsche Yahoo Group. There are some track junkies and lots of "weekend mechanics" there. Just join and send and email asking for recommendations. It works like a bulletin board, except it's all via email. This group also started a weekly get-together. After attending a couple of times, I'm pretty confident that if there was ever anything I had a question about, someone in this group could answer it! I believe this is a link to the group...

They are a decent general repair shop, but not really a Porsche place. I know the manager there, used to mount tires for me, good folks.]

FWIW, I'm about 4 miles from there.

iborroel, I've done a few 944 Turbo PPI's this year, think there was some discussion about it on the board somewhere. Be happy to talk to you about it. Numbers on my website. http://www.moto-delta.com on the "Contact" link.
