Need good honest tech in Los Angeles

Tune up issues with an 82 SC.
Need an honest, and competent, air cooled porsche guy in LA.
Any suggestions?

Second TRE. They are in the valley now. I will be out there tomorrow if you want me to have them call you let me know.

+1 on TRE. They've just done great work on my '82 SC.

driveasintended · 12-12-2010, 05:22 PM

Thanks. I'll keep TRE in mind.
I hear good things about Dutch Treat in Rendondo / Manhattan Beach.
Any thoughts on Dutch Treat? He's much closer to me in Marina del Rey.

LA is a big place and has many great early porsche shops. even in n hollywood alone TRE, and there's TLG too.

whats more important? close or well known? I have been doing business with TRE for 10 years.

driveasintended · 12-12-2010, 05:30 PM

Most important is honest and skilled. Well known is hardly a factor for me. Well thought of is a big plus. I have heard very good things about Dutch Treat. Curious if folks here knew him and his work. I realy appreciate the TRE suggestion. I am not in a hurry, but I have learned to be very meticulous when letting someone touch my car.
Thanks again for all your responses.

Near Hawthorne and 190th. I've always been impressed with the attention to detail Tony gives.

Robert at Dutch Treat does good work.
If you are in Marina del Rey, don't overlook Otto's in Venice. He's been working on these cars for 40+ years.

TRE is great, too.

Otto's....respectfully, there are a few on this board that would not stand by that recommendation.

If you are in Marina del Rey. Then you must talk to Alex at Precision Tech Motorsports 310 822 4566
"its the professional mechanic Wayne trusts with his cars"

Robbie at Dutch Treat did some work on my car knowing I would be driving it 3000 miles. It ran great all that way, started first time every time and never missed a beat.
Wish his shop was on the East Coast.

Where in LA? It's a big place...

As others have mentioned, if you're looking for someone out in the Valley, you won't do better than TRE. Dave moved the shop a couple of years ago, and now it's near Van Nuys Airport, east of Woodley and south of Roscoe.
