Porsche Mechanic in Yorkville IL needed

Thoughts and/or Recs for an obviously trusted Porsche Mechanic by me. I live in Yorkville Illinois (60560). Roughly 1.5 hours West/South West of Chicago.

Well nothing YET with the exception of an oil leak and crappy cold idle. Just preparing for the inevitable.

I'd really appreciate that name. I don't mind driving if the shop is a quality one. The simple stuff I can do. Pinion and/or Torque tube bearings, cam seals etc are out of my league though. What type of work do you do on 944s ?

Thanks for you help!!!!!!

Call Kurts German Auto in Homer Glen. He's a great guy and knows Porsches very well. Tell him that Dan Stoffer sent you his way.

That's a little far. He is roughly 3 hours from me. Of course a "spirited" run to Lafayette can be done in less time.

Nick is a good guy. He usually has an event every August that is worth the trip.
