Indicate your location in the country and you might get a recommendation for a reputable shop.
BTW, look inside your coolant tank and make sure it only has coolant in it.

I kinda bought this older car with the idea of learning about it and doing some of the work myself. I am in the Toledo, OH area (zip 43606) if anyone knows a good Indy dealer? Because at some point I'll likely need him.
I do have a master mechanic I use, but he has limited experience with 996's.
If anyone knows a mechanic in Toledo, Ohio area with good experience working on 996's, let me know. There are a couple of large dealers, but I'm looking at a grand just to drive by their place. Numerous bad experiences. One place wanted $1,500 for a Chrysler 300 AC compressor installation while my independent shop found a broken wire and fixed it for $25.
In any event, she is about due for most of these replacements. Any specific ideas to suggest other than take it to a mechanic?
Thanks!
