Looking for a 944 mechanic in Seattle Area

I have been beating my head against the wall trying to track down a no-spark non-start issue with my 951.

I am ready to hand it off to someone who knows these cars and get it back running.

Does anybody know a "944 guru" in or around Seattle?

I don't care if it is a professional shop or a private individual.

Help me out guys.

In Tacoma, there's Bristow's.

Pete Bristow specializes in Porsches. He used to be a PCA instructor and he races. He also does the tech inspections for PCA.

They do a lot more 911's than 944's these days, but he still knows his way around a 951.

Pete Bristow is a really good guy.

In Fisherman's Terminal in Seattle, there is Fordahl Motorsports. Greg Fordahl is a 944 guru, but race cars will always take precedence over street cars in his shop.

Gerber Motorsport is fantastic. They've always been able to take care of my 951. Not the cheapest shop in the world, but I've never had any reason to complain about them and I've been taking my car there for nearly a decade now.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll call astound on Monday.
I'm sure a mechanic who has done 100's of these will identify my issue immediately.

Keep the suggestions coming. I would like to find someone to take the car in ASAP.

I say Gerber only because Mark Peters (Britwrench) used to work there and if he is any indication of the quality of folks @ Gerber then you cannot go wrong.
