Looking for a Mechanic recommendation in either SGV or SFV California

The car is a 996TT X-50 and I'm looking for a mechanic that really knows the car well to perform periodic maintenance/repairs and possibly some performance mods. Wherein I'll be getting a new TT within the next year or two and will retain the 996 as modified beast. Though I'm aware that not all mechanics are comfortable doing mods and for now will be happy with finding a good mechanic.

speed gallery in NoHo ( see dan ) and Concept Motorwurks in agoura ( see david ) and pick one and be done. just talking with a bud with a gt3rs who just went to david. he was half price less than rusnak OEM in westlake. that said, there isn't enough porsche internet to fully sing the praises of dan at speed gallery.

again, pick ONE.

ps I've also used "house in pasadena once..quickly" its a pcar shop. see above.

Thanks for pointing out the shop in Agoura. I had never heard of them, but their Yelp reviews are all 5 star. I need a few small maintenance items taken care of. I am going to give them a try.

Ask Sam. He works closely with Speed Gallery.

+1 for Dan @ Speed Gallery in North Hollywood. I use him for track support and driver coaching too.

IMHO. After bringing my car to several shops in the past, he is the only one that knows TT's really, really well.

He will guide you in your needs and wants regarding mods.

Should have gone to him first and saved some big $$$.
