DFW area mechanic recommendations
I just moved to the Grapevine area north of Dallas/Ft. Worth. I have a 1978 911SC that has started running rough when it gets warmed up (which happens quickly down here!). I suspect CIS issues, maybe WUR, because it smells like it's running rich. Anyhow, I typically do all my own work but now I don't have the time, a place to work on it, or any CIS tools so I'm looking for recommendations for a good mechanic in my area. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Mayo Performance. The best for older 911's and just south of you.

I've taken my 83 911 to Mayo and Zim's and had a great experience with both. I live in East Dallas and work in Addison, so their shops are both a bit of a haul.
Ed Mullinex (Mullinex Motorsports) and Innovative Autosports are both in Addison (closer to Grapevine, I think) and I've had great experience with both of them as well. My only issues (that probably apply equally) is they all generally have at least a week (usually around 2) lead time to get on their schedule, but I guess staying busy tends to be a good indication they do quality work. |

Mayo's for sure. Since 1976, they have done all the stuff to my car that I couldn't do.... Always first rate work.
