Looking for reputable shop in Philly area...

I'm having a boost leak (or other) issue (.4 bar max) and I'm not confident in my current shop's abilities. I'm in Delaware (20min from Phila) and am hoping someone could help me find a shop that is familiar with the turbos within an hours drive.

Thanks in advance!

Fabspeed is in Ambler, PA - it would be worth giving Jeremy a call to see if they can help you out. Only downside is your wallet might be lighter after green-lighting some performance mods....

I would recommend Woodlawn Automotive, there just off Lincoln dr. in Philly. John is great with Porsches, he's worked for Porsche for 20+ years & knows them like the back of his hand! AWE is also another great shop, but a little futher to get to. Todd is one of my buddies & is currently modding a 997.2TT.

Give Will Pyle at Fairwinds Porsche a call, he's on Rte 40 near the DE Rte 1 intersection. 302-322-5296. Very reasonable and extremely knowledgeable. Good luck. Do you belong to the DE PCA club?

I take my car to http://site.theporschespecialist.com/About_me.html

Kevin is a good mechanic and a good guy. Broomall, Pa is probably a little closer than some of the other suggestions as well.
