Smile Recommendations for Experts in the SF South Bay?

As I work towards expanding my own mechanical prowess, are there any good shops (or individuals) who can help out with things beyond my capabilities and/or equipment?

There are a few things I'd like to get worked on that I don't trust myself to do perfectly and would like to be able to go out on a drive with confidence that I can return safely.

Most 914 owners do their own wrenching most of the time, but there are shops available. CT Automotive in Campbell, High Performance House in Redwood City, there are others.

914s are easy enough to learn, and the process is empowering. You'll find all the help you need on any of the three 914 website forums. 1000's of online member 914 owners, all eager to talk 914 anytime anywhere.

Pelican Parts, 914world.com or 914club.com

Yep, I do intend to do a lot myself, but I'm building out my toolbox more slowly than I'm needing tools at this point. Thanks for the recommendation.

I recommend Tom (and I have used him - wish he would make House Calls to Florida)

David Modderman (Welcome to Modderman Service, Inc.)

He's worked on both my 914's over the years and my ancient turbo carrera. Always happy with him.
