I have 2 candidates

1. Der Buggy in Garden Grove - He can't consider touching DJet
2. Bill Brewster Automotive in San Clemente - No answer on phone call
Both in OC, miles apart and miles from me.

Anyone know any other mechanics that really know 914's??

I am in Anaheim Hills, near Yorba Linda. The car is running, but I have no one to pick me up when I drop it off. I may be hitching or cabbing it home.

I need the valves lashed, timing adjusted, and possibly the new temp bellows wire installed.

Points, plugs and condenser are all installed yesterday new. If they knew how to peak the DJet that would be a plus.

Thanks!

Me and about 6 other 914s have had PCH Garage in Sunset Beach, CA service our 914s. The owner has kept up to date with 914s and has a good track record. He's seviced mine for the past 15 years.

PCH Garage owner is Hector
16747 Pacific Coast Highway - near Warner and PCH at North End of Huntington Beach and 1/2 way between Huntington and Seal Beach

Give him a call....and he can do D-Jet

When i first got my 914 and was still living out there I always went to Europro in Costa Mesa. They did mostly old VW stuff but they knew the type 4 and d-jet well. Very detail oriented. That was 10 years ago though, not sure what it is like today but i am pretty sure it is still the same owner running the place.

Dave Greiner at Proformance in Orange.

Good honest guy that worked for FAT performance for a long time and knows the TIV well.

Steve's Independent (bunch of 914's always there they know 914's) I have never had my car in their shop but have gotten advice and emergency hardware from them, I really like Mike below and even though there is always a 914 at the shop, sometimes for sale, call it intution or dirty shop I do not take my car there but alot of people recomend these guys.. $120/hr.... Orange Ca.

Thanks, everyone!

Going to try Steve's and see how it goes.

He is close, and they are going to do some basic stuff.

Talked to their mechanic and he knows what to do.

Craig at Image Imports in Santa Ana off the 55 and dyer Rd. 714-557-8300

Dave at proformance does great work had 4 vw engines done by him, and he worked on my 1.7!

Good guy!

Any chance we can do a region by region listing somewhere on the site. Detailing out what was done, duration, approx cost?

Must be a grand thing to document!

Any Ideas on how? Where?
