I second this question. Any reputable independent Porsche mechanics in the Chicago area?

Thanks!

I also found Rennology. Any experience with this group?

Perfect Power in Buffalo Grove is a very good option from recommendations but i had a poor experience with them, I called Sal (the owner) when my Trans went bad ( see my topic on failed trans) I told Sal my story and his immediate answer was "Sir, The only thing we can do for you is replace your transmission" he didnt even see the car .

A good option if you are located in the north side of chicago is lakeside international on broadway and foster

Sol, at Perfect Power, is the best in the Chicago area. He built my vintage '73 911 track car and has always taken car of all my various P-cars over the last eighteen years. He set up my 911 tranny with short gears and does tend to be more of a "911" guy. I don't know how many indy shops are going to want to rebuild a Boxster trans...it probably is cheaper to buy a new or rebiult one and just install it.

Sorry to tell you, but you are wrong.

My trans was fixed for under $2K. (600 in parts , and a negotiated labor rate)

i was looking for a used trans and the cheapest i saw was around $3K.

And yes , Sol`s reputation speaks for itself when it comes for setting cars up for track but to go to Sol for a CEL i think would be a waste of time for Sol and yourself if you have an indy around the block from you.

That is just my opinion i hope i didnt offend anyone

I use rennology for 3 cars. I had a cruise control electrical problem on the boxster that went to 3 so called porsche specialists and 2 dealers - no-one could get it. The guys at rennology fixed it in 30 mins. I know these guys rebuild trans, engines etc - haven't had that problem yet.

Give em a try
