Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I may end up needing help on m clutch change due to time constraints, any thoughts on reliable shops that know our cars inside/out?

Thanks!

Without a doubt, Hergesheimer Motorsports in Lake Forest. Talk to Laura, great family owned shop and did PPIs for me on two separate occasions. Great service and quality of work at fair prices.

Well, also, Bill Brewster in Laguna was a long time 914er option, but I don't know if his shop is still active.

Also Der Buggy in Garden Grove was well liked by some 914 racers I know.

Good Luck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Bill Brewster, and/or his son Scott ripped off a bunch of people and high-tailed it to Oregon.

Aase in Fullerton has my 3.2 for final assemble. They had no shortage of Porsches in their shop when I was there. They definitely know their stuff. Had several race cars parked out front.

Oscar's in Buena Park....?


I thought Oscar was just an incredible guy and great part of the community rather shop!

I'm going to need to pull my engine and get the exhaust system sorted out and most likely install a flywheel. Those are all good tech day sort of activities but I am mindful of not wanting to be too self-serving here

Helping a father of a 912 owner here 914 World that had shop at Brewster's shop and return his car back without the steering rack assembly and missing other parts.
Another one like Motor Meister.
Hope his new shop burns to the ground. His website still show the San Clemente address.
