Anyone have a good service recommendations for downtown Chi / Lincoln park / Lakeview area? I live in LP and am getting sick of driving 60 minutes to and from my dealer for every little thing ... (flushing brake fluid for DE prep etc) ... any replies appreciated!

VFC Engineering is in Ravenswood and their track prep quite a few cars. I've had some work done by them and they are good. I saw your car yesterday at Autobahn. I was the Silver Cayman S with Black wheels/carbon bits running in the white group.

I remember your car, I think we were on the track together (novice) - I will introduce myself to you at Blackhawk on 7/22.

If your interested, a bunch of us go to GingerMan a couple times a month. It is 4:30-7:30 Tues, Wed, Thurs. Cost is $60. We leave Chitown around 1:00. PM me your email and will add you to the list.

Also, this is a decent thread to suscribe to on the 996TT board (if you are into road racing)

I use Midwest Performance in the West Loop. Good hours, good rates, great service. They know their stuff very well. I get my 2005 997 serviced there.

I use Midwest performance cars also. They do good work although they aren't that much cheaper than the dealer.
