I thought I'd introduce myself, new to forum... But not to Porsche... Owned several over the years and currently have two, a 1987 911 and 1984 930.. Love them both...

I think your boss's actual head is loose. Tell your boss to get some other flunky to do his dirty work! You are much too smart to be doing his work, on company time. :D

Here's what you need to do. Tell you boss it will cost him about $17.5K if you do the work for him, to fix his car. Also tell him you will need 3-4-days off to do the work, which you should be paid for. Then you take the car to a good Indy shop and pay to get the work done for about $10K. Then you pocket the difference, because I think you are being under paid!

Hi Bob S, I live not so far from you and I have a 1987 911 as well. I need a decent amount of work on it to get it ready for this summer. Can you recommend and decent Porsche mechanics in the area? Much appreciated

If you live anywhere near Chatham, give Gene a call at Autohaus... He reliable, reasonable and won't try to sell you something you don't need... I've been using him for years.
