Anybody in the Seattle Area know a good 914 mechanic? I can't work on my car in the apt. complex. I would like to get the valves adjusted and timing reset and just make sure that everything looks good. Thanks
Chris

Redmond European (owner: Monty) has always received good reviews on this board, and also on the Pelican NW forum. Plenty of 914 experience, good honest service, and fair prices. A bit of a trek from Edmonds, perhaps, but a good place to keep in mind.

You might also consider Doug at Autovice in Lynnwood 425-672-4366.

Thank you all for the info. I will give Doug a try as he is close. If that doesn't work out, then I will hike to Redmond

don't forget they will prob want you to leave the car the night before for the valves. major inconvenience.

yep. Not a problem. I scheduled an appointment with Redmond European. They will get my car next wednesday and I will be able to pick it up on Friday! Brakes flushed and new fluid, timing, valve adjustments. That should dial me in for another 3k miles. thank you all for the recommendations. Hopefully the weekend will be nice. Does anybody have a fall tour planned?
