I just bought a 2006 911 cabriolet and live in NYC.

I need to have some basic maintenance work done (brakes, tires) as well as some slight body work due to some damage at the parking garage.

Any recommendations for good mechanic?

I have taken it to the dealer, but the quotes seem pretty high.

Any thoughts on or experieces with Manhattan Auto Repair (aka Sports Car & Classic) on E 73rd?

Thanks.

Formula motorsports in LIC, 5 minutes off the 59th street bridge and near two subways

 

Bobby Singh at Manhattan Motorsports is a class act.

 

But he's located on Long Island now...

 

I used Bobby Singh in 2005-2007 to do major work on my older Carrera (84)...he's well known and lives up to others' comments. down to earth, wicked smart, and has a good team working with him. The high end upgrades/custom work he did on peoples' cars was amazing!

After I left Manhattan, I used the dealer in White Plains - they were very good too, and just off Metro North stop (quick 35 min GCT express trains, if needed).

Now that I'm in California, I found another great shop to have the car worked on (Pacific Motors in SF), but definitely am glad to have had Bobby's hand at the earlier improvements!

If I were back on Long Island/NYC, I'd definitely still be using MMS (at whichever location).

I wish I could have found someone to work on my other cars with as much reliability as any of my Porsche providers!

 

+1 - great guys

 

I've had good experience with both Manhattan Motorsports (ask for Lenka) and Formula. I use formula for tires, oil, brakes and general ongoing maintenance. Use Manhattan for warranty work.
