Los Angeles 944 shop recommendations please
I have asked before but maybe someone has fresh input.
Here are some shops in my area where I am considering taking my car for maintenance. If anyone has a comment on these or wants to add to the list it would be greatly appreciated. TIA My first choice: Circle auto, Long Beach - Porsche dealer - have known 944 mechanic - expensive. Second: Callas Rennsport, Torrance - Famous local Porsche shop - mechanic claims to know 944's - probably still expensive. Third: Dutch Treat, Lawndale - Funny name, someone recommended - worth checking out. Forth: John Dayton Enterprises, Long Beach - another recommendation - not sure if they sell just parts - worth checking out. Thanks again

Well I can't find an engineering job might as well wrench on the cars I love! Trouble is I tend to give more away than I take in.
Has to be something I can do in a few hours as the wife wants the parking space when she comes home! She did put up with my use of it for several weeks when I replaced the engine last year. Alex, why doesn't your name show up in the top left????

Since Hugh ( So Cal ) has tutored a vast majority of us here in Calif, I would highly recommend utilizing his services as a qualified mechanic. He does know these cars>
