Need Help - Nationwide car care in Rockville MD, who know this garage?
Hello,
Does anybody know this garage: Nationwide Car Care in Rockville MD? Are those folks reputable for an engine rebuilt? I've just get a 930 that had apparently the engine rebuilt by those folks some years ago. Engine has never ran yet, it is just sitting in the car with fuel and ignition not yet hooked-up. I wonder if I should just split the case again and check all that... Thanks |

This is in the Washington DC metro area near me. Never heard of them. Their online profile looks like they are an Audi and BMW place. No mention of Porsche.
Hope that helps You could also check the Potomac Chapter PCA to see if any info from them https://pcapotomac.org

I would check receipts for work done (some people will call a top-end a rebuild) and do compression and leakdown tests.

Thanks, I'll try to contact PCA chapter.
About the rebuild, apparently everything is fresh. Problem is that mechanics don't remember exactly (or don't want to say more) what has been done as it was 7 years ago... |

Immediately raises question as to how well the car was prepped for not running for years. I don't know much about fuel stabilization so can't say anything intelligent but know its necessary for hybernation.

Car wasn't prepped at all for storage, PO went broke, mechanic just put back the engine in the engine bay without hooking any ancillaries.
Car has eventually been sold several years latter... I'll anyway inspect the internals with videoscope and plan on overhauling whole fuel system |
