Hello everyone!

I have posted about a couple of other topics, but for those who haven’t seen those earlier posts, I am a new ‘74 914 2.0L owner. I live in Marin County, California, and hope that the 914 World community out there can provide me with one or two personal recommendations for an expert classic Porsche mechanic/garage in the northern part of the Bay Area, preferably in Marin County.

The car appears to be in very good shape, but I’d love to have someone give it a thorough examination. I have also identified a few issues for minor work to be performed that I’d like to discuss with a pro.

Any ideas, y’all?

Thanks,
Steven (IMG:style_emoticons/default/signal914.jpg)

Great looking car, and welcome to the neighborhood. I think I saw you on 101S, from 101N… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

As to some local support systems for your 914:

I've been happy with de Jung Motorsports for 20~ years, but it can be a trek to Cotati if there's traffic or it's 4x to drop the car off.

Hi-Tec has a lot of fans locally, so I'd definitely visit them to see if that's a fit for your needs.

You might check out Peter & Wolf Car Company in San Rafael—I stopped by once and the owner seemed cool, knowledgeable, and capable. I also liked the small shop vibe.

Gina at Porsche Marin is a knowledgeable and excellent source for parts.

Ron at Dependable Tire & Brake in San Rafael has always taken great care of me on tires.

Enjoy your 914…it's a great car for this part of the world!
