Looking for a good mechanic in Fairfield CT

Hello all. Apologies if this isn't the right place to post this. I live Chicago, but left my '89 911 Targa in Fairfield CT in my parent's garage until I get settled. I seem to have an electrical problem as my battery drains quickly and doesn't recharge as it should. The car is run once a week, but it doesn't stop the battery from going dead after a bit. Not sure if there is a short somewhere that is draining the juice. In any event, I was looking to get some advice on a good reputable mechanic in Fairfield County where I could take her in to have it checked out. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

John

Dan Jacobs, he can send a trailer to pick it up if necessary.
