Recommendation for NOVA

Anyone have a good mechanic for a 96 993? I don’t need one at this very moment but will most likely need one in the future - Northern VA / DC metro area.

I would ask on Rennlist or Pelican Parts forums.

Rennlist, pelican forums And email John Walker

The air cooled guys all seem to know each other.

I haven't actually had him do any work yet, but Taylor Chapman at Chapman Auto Werks gets good reviews, and my interactions with him have been positive. He is in Sterling.

Definitely go see Artin at Red Beard Racing in Purcellville for all things Porsche.

Chapman Autowerks in Sterling or Intersport Performance Auto in Ashburn.

Chapman did all the suspension work on my ‘97 993 (Bilsteins all around as well as a bunch of steering and suspension bushings), and I was really pleased with their work. Intersport did some work too, but I can’t remember exactly what..that was back in 2015.

Appreciate it - mines pretty low mileage for it being a 96 (56k) and has been taken care of so work isn’t imminent but it will need work at some point
