Our local dealer has one old grey Porsche mechanic. Since he is there that dealership will work on any 911. One local friend took in his 911 SC in for a valve adjustment & tune up and he had to bring his own timing light and dwel meter because not one mechanic at the place had one. The old grey there knew full well how to use it but all the young pups had only seen one used in a book.
The one old grey is amazing. He is factory trained on everything from air cooled 911s to Carrera GTs. He did a clutch job on a Carrera GT and works on all the new Porsches as well. And yes, I have his personal cell phone number
Congrats on you son getting to work there!
