Indy shop recommendation - Barrington, IL

[PhilP]

I need to bring my car into an Indy in the area. Does anyone have any experience in any of them around the area that you can recommend. I used to go to Fisher Motors but I believe he closed shop. I don't want to take it to the dealer as their labor rate is way too high.

Let me know what your experience is and how recent. Thanks in advance.

I have always used Euroquipe for my 911. They are in St. Charles, which may be too far away for you however.

Untrue. (Fischer)

Very true!! (Motor Werks, Porsche dealership)

Rick Fischer (and his father, Peter) are still in business. They moved a few years ago to a new location near NW Highway and Cuba Road, by Kelsey's Roadhouse. He has serviced my 993 Turbo and 987 Boster S for many years. We are very lucky to have an indy shop of his calibre in our back yard. He'll service my 2014 991S in a few years when it is out of warranty. His phone number is 847-304-8822.

Not only do Rick and his father run an excellent shop, they are very generous to our PCA Region, and excellent racers in our Porsche Club Racing. You will be in great hands.

I hate Motor Werks. Their Service Advisor, Chauncey is a complete doofus.

Keep in mind, Fischer's and Moter Werk's labor rate, per hour, may not be that much different, Fischer only charges for the actual work done, while MW charges a "book rate" regardless of the time consumed.
