Porsche Mechanic - Olympia WA area

I am looking for a Porsche Mechanic in the Olympia WA area. Seems that most of the reputable ones are a 2 hour drive away.

I'm in Gig Harbor, and would still recommend that it's worth the effort to get it up to Squires Autowerke in Seattle, particularly for anything major. I'm not sure if they'd come down to Olympia to pick a car up and if so what it'd cost, but if you have something requiring Porsche-specific expertise then you can't go wrong with them.

Pete Bristow www.bristowsauto.com in Tacoma gets good reviews....Yep, John Walker is a bit further North for you but highly recommended.

Had Pete adjust my ride height, corner balance and alignment. Car was riding way too low and the ride was like riding in a low rider truck...

Just picked it up from Pete and the ride is phenomenal.... Thanks Pete....

Dantilla recommended Pete Bristow to me two years ago, and I couldn't be happier!

Glad to hear it all came out good.

All the local mossbacks and info resides in the PNW forum.
