Shop Question

Looking for a good shop closer to home for 89 P-Car. Anyone have experience with German Auto Specialists on Ridge Ave in the Plymouth Meeting/Conshohoken Area?
Thanks....

I live a few miles from German Auto Specialists' shop and have seen many European cars in the shop like Porsche, Mercedes, Volvo, etc. but has no personal dealing with them. But if I could recommend a shop for your car, check Fred Sonsini located across the Plymouth meeting mall. But if you really want the best shop nearby, check these:
Dougherty at West Chester (Bill Dougherty).
Precision Automotive (own and operated by Peter & Paul) in Malvern.
J & J motors in Wayne (Jay, owner).

Call and visit them and pick one you like. They are all good and reliable. HTH.

Have you ever considered talking to John or Jack Bahna at Woodlawn Automotive in west Germantown?
They really know their stuff about Porsche's of all vintage.
I use them.
They are not far if you are in Lafayette Hill.
I live in W Gtown and LH is an easy ride up the pike.

Bob Fox in Ambler has been good to me. Down the street from the former Fabspeed location. Small, fair, good.
A friend recommends Possum Hollow Motorsports to me all of time (Phoenixville) although I have never been there - may be worth investigating
I learned some new names on this thread, although I heard W Chester was a bit pricey - let me know if I am wrong.
I'm in Horsham and zip around bux/mont/Phila
