Looking for mechanic in Southern MD
#1

Any recommendations for someone in Charles County? Does anyone have experience with At Speed Motorsports in Hanover MD? It is about 1 hr from where I live, but seems like it might be worth the drive.

IMA, who is a sponsor of this forum is located in Chantilly, VA, about an hour away, visit their website (link on front page).

Yup...unless you find a Porsche specific shop closer, IMA would indeed be your best bet.

BeBe,

IMA in Chantilly, VA or Taylor Chapman who just moved into his own shop in Sterling, VA would be your best bet. Both are knowledgeable and professional.

Autotherapy is closer, located in Gaithersburg, MD. However, I personally didn't like their attitude and the way they approach potential client.

Thanks for the recommendation. Come out and see our shop and talk to Ivan and mention 968forums. I have known and used him for almost 20 years.

I spend a lot of time in Waldorf. I had to see you driving around sometime.

Maybe, but it would be a long-shot that I was driving it. Haven't put too many miles on the car yet -- partly because of crappy weather. The guy who I bought it from lived just south of Waldorf, so it has been driving around the county for the last 3 or 4 years. I do plan on using it, but it's coming up on 60K miles and I want to replace the timing belt, water pump, etc., before I start driving it more.

Does anyone have experience with At Speed Motorsports in Hanover MD?

Yes, I stopped in once with my 68, I was told they specialize in rear engine (RR) Porsche's and have little experience with our FR setup. I went elsewhere but appreciated him being up front with me.

BTW- Paulo at Auto Centro in Rockville MD is very good. His hourly rate and communication with the customer is top notch.

No problem. My car is there now between a Lambo and a Ferrari.



Give Paulo a call and describe the work. He'll give you a detailed quote up front, should there be any unexpected hick-ups he will call first and discuss it. Upfront and honest.

I did end up going to IMA. Picked up my car yesterday. They did all the belts & seals on the front of the engine, water pump, etc. They have a nice shop and definitely seem to know what they are doing. Real easy to work with. Worth the 1 hr. drive.

Glad to hear you had a good experience at IMA. Ivan personally worked on your car. Yes we do Audis as well as MBs, VWs, and BMWs.I know I am biased but I take my Audi A6 Allroad there.
