Looking for a good indie shop on Long Island near a train line or a village where I can hang out in a coffee shop or public library for a few hours while I wait. I'm told German Auto Repair in Amityville is good. Any other suggestions, especially in Nassau County? Thanks!

they were the master mechanics for MB in the late 80s, worked with numerous exotic car places over the years and have built my 996 and a bunch of my other cars.

 

Many thanks, Lennon. I'll check them out. And the referral doesn't come soon enough. I just got back from the local dealer, where more than $1100 got me an oil change, state inspection, brake fluid flush and the resetting of some codes. They charged me $185 to do a test drive after the codes were reset and yet, when I got home I discovered the heated seat function still hadn't been restored. Plus, they ignored a requested minor adjustment to the front bumper cover. But, gee, they did wash the car and give me a bottle of water when I left . . . probably to distract me from the work that wasn't done. They apologized and I am bringing the car back Monday, but that will be the very last time I ever have work done at a Porsche dealer.
