I took the teener out for the first time in 6 months and it appears that all of the push rod tubes are leaking on the passenger side. A job that I could probably do but have 0 time to do it. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good reliable mechanic that could fix this. Please let me know as it is now time to be driving the car since the weather is excellent. Thanks for the help.

1. Exotic motorwerks. PHX. Owner is ex 914 guy.

2. Don Jackson ent. PHX. Long time Porsche repair shop

3. Stuttgart Southwest. Tempe. Another great shop

I use both Exotic and Stuttgart and highly recommend both. I know Dan who owns Exotic used to work at Stuttgart and although he works on 914s he is more focused on 944/928s. Dan works on my 944 turbo. Stuttgart works on all models; I take my 914 to Stuttgart.

+1 on all of those suggestions, and an extra plug for Jack Doverspike at Stuttgart Southwest. Yes, the shop looks like they dropped a bomb in it, but Jack is super-honest, knowledgeable, reliable, and his prices are very good.

Exotic told me to take it to Stuttgart.

FYI, Stuttgart is a week out on work at the moment.. Called him today about a valve adjustment.

+1 on Jack at Stuttgart. I've taken my 914 there and a friend with a 911 SC cab has had several things done there as well. Jack knows the old AC cars very well!!

Frank Beck. Fastest man alive in a 914...

He's about 1/8th mile from my office. I went to visit him last week and I really like him.. He absolutely loves 914s.

Beck's is another shop I haven't been to, despite living in Phoenix since '97. I just made it to Patrick Motorsport for the first time last month! Gotta visit these shops when I get a chance.
