Here is a list I put together from the various Porsche sites a couple of years ago. Without a doubt I would use Willie and it was him that I used. He is getting on as they say and has been repairing Blaupunkts his entire life.

The list is in no particular order or recommendations. Some may not still be in business for all I know.

I spoke to Mr. Wilkes a couple of months ago and he told me that he is absolutely, positively, "do not send another radio," retired. He is actually interested in selling the business so if anyone wants a turn key cottage industry for their basement or garage I would give him a call. There will always be a demand! - Matt

Now that's a bummer... Who is the next best option?

Radio Repair

Hernan at German Auto Radio Repair worked on my Becker Grand Prix and did an excellent job of repairing it.

I recently had my Frankfurt repaired by Radioman. Quick turnaround. After a couple months the radio stopped working so I took it in while I was in San Diego and he fixed it on the spot (some loose connection).
