Flash, move if needed. Wasn't sure where to post.
So, can we get a compilation of shops where we take our babies? Could be very useful for newbies, people who are moving and people going on roadtrips. I personally could benefit from this.
I'll start:

I have much more experience with Stuttgart but Dan and Yoland have an excellent reputation and may be more convenient for some. Stuttgart also does paint and body work but I have no experience with same.

West LA - Between Venice and Washington right by the 405. This guy knows this car. Just had timing and bal shat belts changed (plus water pump, thermostat, etc). He called to tell me that the previous bal shaft belt was installed off by one tooth, and that the previous thermostat (which I had installed last Nov at AutoWerkStat in Manhattan Beach) was also done incorrectly with the wrong seal so it wasn't seating properly. The car now runs cooler, quieter and smoother, and maybe it's just in my head, but I swear it feels quicker too. Don't expect cheap (today's bill: $2433 - also included VarioCam inspection - which he took pictures of for me - compression check, oil change and crankshaft seal replaced) but expect it to be done right. He used the Gates belts and distilled water to replace the coolant. Solid, German dude.

Heard lot of good things about Einers as well. Another good local place is The Garagisti off Hempstead Hwy (
The Garagisti). He's worked on my 92 as well as several other transaxle porsches I know of.
Doesn't matter which garage it is provided there is good supervision ....
