My 1975 1.8 with stock fuel injection won't start and the shop can't figure it out (not their specialty). They recommend having it towed to Lufteknic in Richmond (100 miles). Does anyone have experience with Lufteknic or a shop in northern Virginia? Is a Porsche dealership a possibility? The good news is that I have AAA Plus.

The dealer won't have a technician that was even born when the 914 was new in all likelihood. I'd go to Lufteknic.
