Good shops in Massachusetts?
Any one have any recommendations for a repair shop in Massachusetts? I want to get my timing belt inspected and don't want to be told to replace it because I am getting it checked and can't validate its replacement.
Thanks in advance.

I'm too trying to find a shop around Lexington, MA. What area are you in?
The car's previous owner has used the dealer in Burlington but the numbers they charged on the invoices are pretty high. Ted

I work in Waltham and live in Uxbridge (almost RI), so I could go about anywhere in between.
My "previous" owner was in W. Virginia, so that is out....

There's always "Click-and-Clack's" Good News Garage in Cambridge. I don't know how much they know about Porsche, but my brother has taken his Acura Integra in there numerous times and ALWAYS gotten a straight story and fair price. Acuras aren't particularly easy to work on either.

Very good shop in Greenfield, MA. I don't recall the name, but they are attached to www.gicp.com
Only time a mechanic ever invited me into the shop to point out the problems and actually discuss them me (years before I had space to do my own work). The gicp parts people are very knowledgeable too. -nick

I would avoid Randolph Racing.It's a long story but I bought a car from a guy that was serviced by Randolph Racing. I had it picked up at his shop.He was a complete a**hole to me,the shipper,broker,truck driver....everyone.I can only assume that he treats everyone that way.
