K2@Brandywine is infamous around these parts
Hello all

Hello, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Kevin Hines and I am a technician at Brandywine Porsche in Newtown Square, PA. I have been there for alomst five years now, and have developed a great appreciation for these cars and the community surrounding them. We are a high volume dealership, so even though five years doesnt sound to terribly much, I have gained a lot of experience, and have developed great relationships with those in PCNA and also my clients. I am a car nut myself, so I think I may just fit in here. I like to think of myself as a "mod friendly" tech, as I also modify my own cars. I am here to help if I can, in any way, so please, dont hesitate ta ask anything.

Kevin H.

We are located about 2 hours from the big apple...

And yes, VERY simpathetic to mods , as long as they are high quality, Porsche does an excellent job making these cars, but there is always room for improvement!

Pics of my rides? Well, I just went through a car transaction last weekend, havent had time to take pics yet.

Right now I own a 2000 BMW 540iA Sport package, and an 89 BMW 325i as a snow vehicle.

Just got rid of my 05 Mitsu Evo MR, cuz insurance was running me into the ground.... Grrrrrrr

I usually charge 7 or 8 hours for this, which includes youching up the flywheel. Just dont replace the rear main or intermediate shaft seals unless they are leaking
