Al,
The only ones I know of currently work for Pioneer Porsche... and 928 is not on their resume!
there are several in town that have many years of 914, 911 experience.....

That's actually a pretty cheap hourly rate if that is what he is posting. Except there is no way I would invite anyone from Craigslist unless he was a referral from a friend. You might end up with a Crescent Wrench across your forehead and then wake up with your Liver and Kidney missing. Could happen

I'm with Leo - meet him in at Pioneer or one of the other independent Porsche shops around and see how he plays out.

Remember the high quality 928 mechanic BB found off CL?

Only place I could send anybody with a clear conscience is to Greg at Precision Motorwerks in Anaheim.

Or wait for one of the regional wrenching parties and hope for a time slot when some of the smart guys can look your car over.

Not for me...

Yup, I don't actually need a mechanic, I was just passing on useless information...

Besides, my 928 is quite simply too bad ass for a craigslist mechanic...!!!

When I lived back in SD, I used to take my car to this guy on Fairmount Ave across from Home Depot in Mission Valley & North of SDSU. I have known him since 1997 and he does a marvelous job on 928s. I think he even made my Dad's '85 928 his daily driver that he bought showroom new from Alan Johnson back in the 80s.
