Just Moved to LA Area...mechanic/bodywork recommendations?

Hey Guys,

I just moved to the LA area (diamond bar). Just wondering if you guys can recommend a couple of places to get my car serviced. As well, the shippers put a small dent/paint scratch on my car, so I need to also get a bit of bodywork done, so if you know some good places for that I would appreciate it as well.

While im on the subject, where is a good place to get tint installed?

TIA

Kevin

Welcome

Welcome to the neighborhood. I'm here in Pomona so just a quick drive away. I'm still trying to find good people for body work too.

For mechanical issues, I've had great experience with Lucent Motors in LA.

Have fun!

Welcome to So. Cal. Make certain you come on down for a mixer we have lined up, see the event forums under Events or So. Cal.

Raj of Culver City always has a Porsche or two in his bays..... He's the best when it comes to paint and body as he has always done some nice wide body work as well...

Raj: 3C (310) 202-1555

He knows who I am so let him know I sent you over, he'll take care of you and your ride. I should have mine back in there within a couple of weeks from some road chip touch-ups...
