Can anyone recommend a mechanic in Orange County, Ca that is knowledgable on 914's. I have a '74, 2.0 that is planned for a restoration, but in the meantime it would be a nice driver with a couple mechanical tweaks. Thanks for any advice.

What city in OC are you located ? I'd been taking my 914 to Sunset Garage, now the PCH Garage, for the past 20 years. Hector services about 1/2 dozen 914's regularly.
Address is 167747bPacfic Coast Highway, Sunset Beach, CA 90742 |

Thanks Jim,
I spend my life in the Irvine/Newport Beach area. Sunset's a little further than I'd like to go but it looks like my options are limited so I'll check it out. LN |

He has a new phone #; I'll get it and post it for you later today or Sunday. I would recommend making an appointment, have him look it over, drive it, and see what he recommends right out the gate. I have him change oil every 4K and tune up every 8k as well. Prices are comparable to other places overall. Hector, the owner, is customer friendly; I have been able to bring the car to him in emergenies and been satisfied.
It's kinda far for you; there are two places in Costa Mesa: Jeff Blum: he is at 786 W. 20th near Placentia, Costa Mesa, CA 92627, 949-548-1248 Blackforest: near 16th and Pomona? I |

Also, try Hergesheimer in Lake Forest. Elliot Cannon and other used them and they may be closer ( I probably speeled the name wrong )
