Porsche Crest 928 Mechanic in NY

Anyone know of a good mechanic who specializes in 928's in the Long Island/NYC region? I bought three 928's this summer so I need someone knowledgeable to monitor my fleet. One of them is like a rocket ship, the previous owner worked the engine and added a ton of horse power, very fast, but the battery dies over time. I think it is the alarm system, or the headlights/foglights because when I turn the fog lights on, the battery pointer goes all the way down below 10. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I've been taking my car to Sunny at SM Motorsports in Long Island lately - it seems like he pretty much all the time has 928's in the shop.

Cheers!

I'm happy with Ed at Jorge and Jacks in Clifton, NJ. 20 minutes from the GWB. They work on all sorts of cars but there's always a 928 there when I go and their labor rate is 90.00 per hour. Just did a cam tower gasket, p/steering pump rebuild, pod out for inop oil pressure gauge and new pass window RR. Very happy with their work.

Thanks everyone for your assistance, I have been spinning my wheels with several other mechanics who do not know the 928 well enough to figure out the problem.

whow (tongue and cheek, click click) the horsey down. pics of your tripplets, please?

if you arent familiar with what wiring should look like to see if anything looks funky routed wrong or hacked, maybe take pics of wiring/relay where headlight/foglight/bat connection/areas and someone on board here will chime in.
**most importante to put up yr models (in profile,need help ?) and be specific on which pcar its yr/model when you post thread .
