If I did it right, this should be a link to the Las Vegas Region PCA website. There should be some folks listed there who could give suggestions...

never had carls work on my car but have got parts from them & they only do porsches. seem to be very honest & been around since the 70's i believe, i would feel safe letting them work on mine.

What happened over at Carls ?
Im asking because Carl is the exclusive mechanic to my P car, and its the same shop, and mechanic my dad took it to for over 10 years., after he stopped dealing with Porscehouse.

Can you forward the shop recommendations to Tabs? He supposedly has a '69 911S that needs repair...
or perhaps he needs to go to GA to afford the repairs.

I would highly recommend Carl's Place also. This gent has forgotten more about Porsches than most of us will ever know. He knows the early models to new, I know he has the latest equipment available from Porsche, his mechanics have been with him for years and been in business for ages. Strongly active in PCA. If you had a bad experience, it may have been miscommunication or expectations by either party. I have referred many and I will admit you have to get through Carl's gruff, no bull personality, but customers appreciate his 'frankness' and knowledge.
