Hello,

Need some help finding a competent shop that can repair a 915 transmission at a fair price in San Diego or near San Diego...

Thanks

I had mine done at Glenn Yee Motorsports in San Dimas.
He's been turning wrenches on these cars for a long time. Its a smaller shop, so pricing is much better than the big shops.

Well, San Dimas is about 130 miles from San Diego!! Try Dieter's or Black Forest. Both in San Diego and rated very high.

I recommend Jacque LeFriant at Scott's Porsche in *NATIONAL CITY* for transmission work 619 477 7390 (not the Scott's Porsche in Chula Vista - very confusing for sure but do not confuse the two).

First hand experience was excellent.

Black Forest. Ask for Mark or Steve.

Ok, this was funny.

San Dimas. Good one.

Thanks for the laugh.

I don't think the GYM in San Dimas recommendation was a joke. It's a legit shop with quality service. Yeah they focus on the water cooled 911 nowadays. But they've been working on the 911s for a very long time and that's why they can service a 915 too.

Also a thumbs up for Jae Lee at Mirage Int'l. Guy really knows his stuff

Mirage and Blackforest are good shops. I'd also add Performance Porsche in Mission Gorge to the list. If you want to drive to Fallbrook Supertec is another good option.

Glenn Yee does excellent work but as was mentioned he's a ways away. Jae, Black Forest or Dieters would all be good SD shops to work with.
